Logic Of Jet Propulsion

Jet engines still challenge the leading edge of a nation's technology. Today developing a Digital Twin is a first step to develop a new jet engine. This book takes the participant through the elementary steps that open up mysteries of the DT approach. Strong grounding in basic science of thermodynamics and high speed fluid dynamics is at the core, with quick introductions to diagnostic techniques and Digital Signal Processing fundamentals. PYTHON-based software provides a low threshold access to build a DT core. Extensive surveys of the literature tie history to the present and beyond. The book starts at a first-semester level but takes the willing participant through senior undergraduate and graduate level topics, easily ranging across the many disciplines that go into building and innovating jet engines.
