Introduction to GAS-TURBINE and
JET-PROPULSION DESIGN
By CARL A. NORMAN and RICHARD H. ZIMMERMAN
It is hardly necessary to say that this book is timely. The universal interest and intensive experimentation going on all over the world today in rockets, gas turbines, and jet-propulsion apparatus—in industry, among the military, and in private research institutions—emphasizes the importance of this new book, which is the first elementary and practical book on the subject.
Introduction to Gas-Turbine and Jet-Propulsion Design deals with gas turbines for stationary, aircraft, marine, and locomotive plants, and with rockets. It goes thoroughly into both the performance and the design of details of gas turbines and jet-propul-sion apparatus.

Because the treatment is an elementary one, designed for the beginner in the field, the authors have carefully avoided all theoretical complexities that do not contribute to fundamental understanding and intelligent use in design. Many sample computations are given of actual design problems.
A quick glance through the pages will show how well illustrated the volume is. There are nearly two hundred figures, performance graphs, and photographs, and two large tipped-in charts. The quality of these illustrations is outstanding.
For a note on the authors see the back panel of this jacket.
