What powers a jet across the sky-and what drives a rocket beyond Earth's atmosphere? Gas Turbine and Rockets Engineering gives you a clear, connected foundation in the principles, components, and design decisions behind modern propulsion systems. Beginning with thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and combustion, Ryan Phlean guides you through the machinery and physics that turn stored energy into controlled thrust. Inside, you will: Organized across 29 focused chapters, this comprehensive reference connects equations and engineering fundamentals with practical system behavior. It is written for engineering students, aviation and spaceflight enthusiasts, technicians, educators, and professionals seeking a structured introduction to both air-breathing and rocket propulsion. Whether you want to understand why a turbofan achieves efficient commercial flight, how a rocket nozzle generates thrust, or what limits the performance of advanced propulsion systems, this book provides the technical foundation you need.
