- Introduces basics for the analysis and design of aircraft engines and reviews the history of gas turbine engines.
- Introduces general conservation laws of mass, energy, and momentum for compressible flows and application to quasi-one-dimensional internal flows and shock waves in external flows.
- Reviews thrust and thermodynamic performance of the engines.
- Discusses designing parameters of the inlets in detail.
- Uses the principles of chemical equilibrium to calculate the composition of combustion products in a chemical reaction to find flame temperature and energy release, which drive the design of combustors and afterburners.
- Introduces physics and aerodynamics of compressors and turbines, and reviews basics of gas turbine blades cooling.
