Text books on gas turbines, and aircraft gas turbines in particular, are now so common that the student is beginning to find difficulty in selecting the most suitable for his purpose. Books have appeared which range from little more than elementary descriptions of turbine engines to highly detailed theoretical and mathematical analysis of the thermodynamic cycles and performance. The present volume tends towards the theoretical treatment, but this should not deter practical engineers, who will find the material presented in a refreshingly clear and concise manner.
