Summary:

Volume XI of the High Speed Aerodynamics and Jet Propulsion series. Edited by W.R. Hawthorne and W.T. Olson. This is a comprehensive presentation of basic problems involved in the design of aircraft gas turbines, including sections covering requirements and processes, experimental techniques, fuel injection, flame stabilization, mixing processes, fuels, combustion chamber development, materials for gas turbine applications, turbine blade vibration, and performance.Originally published in 1960.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
