The revised and enlarged text of Aerothermodynamics of Gas Turbine and Rocket Propulsion by the late Gordon C. Oates, published in 1988, continued to fulfill the need for a comprehensive, modem book on the principles of propulsion, both as a textbook for propulsion courses and as a reference for the practicing engineer. The original edition of this book was published in 1984 as the second volume of the then newly inaugurated AIAA Education Series.The Third Edition of this text adds now a companion software representing a set of programs for use with the problems and design analyses discussed in the book. The revised and enlarged edition contained major modifications to the original text, and some of the text was rearranged to improve the presentation. Chapter 5 included performance curves, design parameters values, and illustrations of several typical modem turbofan engines. Chapter 7 included a method of analysis to account for the effect of nonconstant specific heats in the cycle analysis equations, and in Chapter 8 a new section was added for an analysis of engine behavior during transient operation. For completeness, Appendices A and B were added: Standard Atmosphere and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) Gas Turbine Engine Notation. The Third Edition now has Appendix C, which gives an overview of the companion software. The AIAA Education Series of textbooks and monographs embraces a broad spectrum of theory and application of different disciplines in aeronautics and astronautics, including aerospace design practice. The series includes texts on defense science, engineering, and management. The complete list of textbooks published in the series (over 50 titles) can be found following page
456. A typical book in the series presents subject material tutorially, discussing the fundamental principles and concepts, and additionally gives perspective on the state of the art. Thus the series serves as teaching texts as well as reference materials for practicing engineers, scientists, and managers.
