Aerothermodynamics of gas turbine and rocket propulsion : software to accompany the AIAA textbook by Gordon C. Oates

This book on gas turbine technology has been a best-seller since it was first published. It now includes a comprehensive set of software programs that complement the text with problems and design analyses. Software topics included are atmosphere programs, quasi-one-dimensional flow programs (ideal constant-area heat interaction, adiabatic constant-area flow with friction, rocket nozzle performance, normal shock waves, oblique shock waves), gas turbine programs (engine cycle analysis and engine off-design performance), and rocket combustion programs (Tc and Pc given, Hc and Pc given, isentropic expansion). - Data and information appearing in this book are for informational purposes only.
