Abstract: Part 1 Introduction to concepts: thermal efficiency propulsive efficiency specific impulse and range ramjets turbojets turbofans turboprops and other shaft engines - regeneration stationary gas turbines - topping energy exchange, Mach number, and Reynolds number stresses noise thrust and drag fuels and propellants some engines in cutaway. Part 2 Ideal cycle analysis - trends: stagnation temperature and pressure the ramjet the turbojet the afterburning turbojet the turbofan the afterburning turbofan the turboprop thrust lapse cooling cycles the regenerative gas turbine gas turbines for topping the importance of turbine inlet temperature. Part 3 Cycle analysis with losses: variation in gas properties diffuser pressure recovery compressor and turbine efficiencies burner efficiency and pressure loss imperfect expansion loss heat exchanger effectivness and pressure loss turbojet with losses turbofan with losses regenerated gas turbine with losses combined gas turbine-steam cycles with losses. Part 4 Nonrotating components: topics in gas dynamics diffusers exhaust nozzles combustors and afterburners. Part 5 Compressors and fans: energy exchange, rotor to fluid compressor geometry and the flow pattern design choices based on blade section performance details of flow in transonic compressors stage performance - corrected parameters multi-stage compressors compressor and compression system stability centrifugal compressors supersonic-throughflow fan. Part 6 Turbines: turbine stage characteristics turbine blading turbine cooling turbine design systems turbine similarity. Part 7 Engine structures: centrifugal stresses gas bending loads on blades thermal stresses critical speeds and vibration blade flutter bearings engine arrangement and static structure. Part 8 Component matching and engine performance: compressor-turbine matching - the gas generator matching the gas generator and the nozzle multi-spool matching engine-inlet matching and distortion overall performance control and acceleration. Part 9 Aircraft engine noise: noise sources - unsteady flow jet noise turbomachinery noise noise measurement and rules. Part 10 Hypersonic engines: hypersonic inlets heat addition in high-speed flow heat release due to chemical reactions nozzle flow fuel injection and mixing quantitative discussion of scramjet performance cooling the scramjet the air turborocket the liquid-air collection engine. Part 11 Propulsion systems analysis: takeoff climb and acceleration cruise maneuvering.
