Gas turbine propulsion systems in aerospace and defense

Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems in Aerospace pulls together all of the systemsand subsystems associated with gas turbine engines in aircraft and marine warship applications. The subject of engine (fuel) control has undergone major changes in the past 20 years due to the advent of the digital electronic controltechnology and therefore existing books on the subject are typically out of date with current methods. Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems in Aerospace discusses the latest technologies in this area; including marine propulsion which is an emerging application area for the technology that involves some interesting modifications to aviation technologies. This book also fits well into the systems engineering focus of the Aerospace Series. Includes chapters on aircraft engine systems functional overview, marine propulsion systems, fuel control andpower management systems, engine lubrication and scavenging systems, nacelle and ancillary systems, engine certification, unique engine systems and future developments in gas turbine propulsion systems Includes case studies of specific engines Includes applications within marine defence Accompanied by a book companion website featuring full colour images INDICE: About the Authors Preface Acknowledgements List of Acronyms Chapter 1 Introduction1.1 Gas Turbine Concepts1.2 Gas Turbine Systems Overview Chapter 2 Basic Gas Turbine Operation2.1 Turbojet Engine Performance2.2 Concluding Commentary Chapter 3 Basic Concepts of the Gas Generator Fuel Control System3.1 Gas Generator Control Modes3.2 Fuel System Design and Implementation3.3 The Concept of Error Budgets in Control System Design3.4 Installation, Qualification and Certification Considerations3.5 Concluding Commentary Chapter 4 Thrust Engine Control and Augmentation Systems4.1 Thrust Engine Concepts4.2 Thrust Management and Control4.3 Thrust Augmentation Chapter 5 Shaft Power Propulsion Control Systems Chapter 6 Inlet, Exhaust and Nacelle Systems6.1 Subsonic EngineAir Inlets6.2 Supersonic Engine Air Inlets6.3 Inlet Anti-Icing6.4 Exhaust Systems Chapter 7 Lubrication Systems7.1 Basic Principles7.2 Lubrication System Operation Chapter 8 Power Extraction and Starting Systems8.1 Mechanical Power Transfer8.2 Bleed Air-Powered Systems and Equipment Chapter 9 Marine PropulsionSystems9.1 The Marine Environment9.2 The Engine Enclosure9.3 Engine AncillaryEquipment9.4 Marine Propulsion Control9.5 Concluding Commentary Chapter 10 Prognostics and health Monitoring10.1 Basic Concepts in Engine Operational Support Systems10.2 The Role of Design in Engine Maintenance10.3 Prognostics and Health Monitoring Chapter 11 New and Future Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems Technologies11.1 Thermal Efficiency11.2 Improvements in Propulsive Efficiency11.3 Other Engine Technology Initiatives Appendix A Compressor Stage PerformanceAppendix B Estimation of Compressor MapsAppendix C Thermodynamic Modeling of Gas TurbinesAppendix D Introduction to Classical feedback Control Index
