Fundamentals of Aircraft and Rocket Propulsion
Author: Ahmed F. El-Sayed
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1447167961
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1025
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive basics-to-advanced course in an aero-thermal science vital to the design of engines for either type of craft. The text classifies engines powering aircraft and single/multi-stage rockets, and derives performance parameters for both from basic aerodynamics and thermodynamics laws. Each type of engine is analyzed for optimum performance goals, and mission-appropriate engines selection is explained. Fundamentals of Aircraft and Rocket Propulsion provides information about and analyses of: thermodynamic cycles of shaft engines (piston, turboprop, turboshaft and propfan); jet engines (pulsejet, pulse detonation engine, ramjet, scramjet, turbojet and turbofan); chemical and non-chemical rocket engines; conceptual design of modular rocket engines (combustor, nozzle and turbopumps); and conceptual design of different modules of aero-engines in their design and off-design state. Aimed at graduate and final-year undergraduate students, this textbook provides a thorough grounding in the history and classification of both aircraft and rocket engines, important design features of all the engines detailed, and particular consideration of special aircraft such as unmanned aerial and short/vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. End-of-chapter exercises make this a valuable student resource, and the provision of a downloadable solutions manual will be of further benefit for course instructors.

Day of the Cyclone
Author: Penny Draper
Publisher: Coteau Books
ISBN: 1550507087
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Ella is surprised by her birthday gift from her father: a Brownie camera and the advice to seek pictures of things that ‘don’t belong’. This is how Ella first notices Billy, a boy at her school. They become good friends, although Ella is sure Billy is keeping something from her. Ella soon realizes there are others to whom the ‘don’t belong’ tag applies. They include herself! Helping out at her mother’s IODE group, Ella finds out about women’s rights – or the lack of them. When Ella’s mother’s purse is raided, suspicion falls on Billy. Then, just as Ella is learning more about both her mother and her mysterious friend, the cyclone arrives, and it’s the substandard housing of the poor that’s worst-hit. How can Ella, armed only with her camera, help her friend? Praise for Ice Storm: “Draper covers the terror and impact of the storm. She also weaves in a subtle environmental message about overreliance on electricity...an unusual story of survival.” – Kirkus Reviews Praise for Graveyard of the Sea: “the author makes the setting of her Newfoundland tale as satisfying as the smell of seafood chowder”; “readers are...sensually and emotionally embedded in 12-year-old Murphy’s life in the outport” – Canadian Children’s Book News

The 1970s: A Decade of Contemporary British Fiction
Author: Nick Hubble
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1441156712
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
How did social, cultural and political events in Britain during the 1970s shape Contemporary British Fiction? Exploring the impact of events like the Cold War, miners' strikes and Winter of Discontent, this volume charts the transition of British fiction from post-war to contemporary. Chapters outline the decade's diversity of writing, showing how the literature of Ian McEwan and Ian Sinclair interacted with the experimental work of B.S. Johnson. Close contextual readings of Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish and English novels map the steady break-up of Britain. Tying the popularity of Angela Carter and Fay Weldon to the growth of the Women's Liberation Movement and calling attention to a new interest in documentary modes of autobiographical writing, this volume also examines the rising resonance of the marginal voices: the world of 1970s British Feminist fiction and postcolonial and diasporic writers. Against a backdrop of social tensions, this major critical reassessment of the 1970s defines, explores and better understands the criticism and fiction of a decade marked by the sense of endings.

Qui non crescono i fiori
Author: Luca Giordano
Publisher: Isbn Edizioni
ISBN: 8876384545
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Salvatore e suo fratello Damiano sono nati sull’Isola. Sono cresciuti con il padre, un uomo ruvido che ha una piccola officina meccanica e che ogni tanto cede al vecchio vizio dell’alcol. La madre, Salvatore non se la ricorda, se n’è andata quando lui era piccolo, e nessuno gli vuole raccontare nulla di lei. Questi tre uomini sono – nonostante tutto – una famiglia. Intorno a loro ci sono solo mare a perdita d’occhio, un paesaggio brullo che non lascia scampo e un’afa che sembra paralizzare ogni prospettiva. Una caletta azzurra incastonata tra le rocce è la cornice dei loro momenti di libertà. I due fratelli, ognuno a modo suo, cercano una via per evadere da quell’Isola che pare abitarli come una maledizione, un modo per ammansire la terra selvaggia che li circonda: Salvatore, appena adolescente, li trova in una cascina abbandonata in mezzo ai campi, dove il padre gli ha proibito di andare. Ignorando il divieto, il ragazzino ci si rifugia appena può perché quel luogo è solo suo, e lì tiene nascosto un segreto: un cane randagio con cui sta tentando di fare amicizia. Non sa che quel posto custodisce un altro segreto, molto più oscuro, qualcosa da cui il padre ha sempre cercato di proteggerlo. Una nuova voce della narrativa italiana – aspra e vivida – racconta con sensibilità la storia di due ragazzi che si misurano coi propri nemici, e che ce la mettono tutta per addomesticarli.

300 Years of the French in Old Mines
Author: Mark G. Boyer
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666723991
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
The village of Old Mines is the oldest settlement in the state of Missouri. Lead miners were in Old Mines as early as 1719. The founding of Old Mines in 1723 coincides with the land grant awarded to Philippe Francois Renault by French authorities on June 26, 1723, to mine lead. Thus, the oldest village in Missouri began as a mining town. In 2023, the village marks three hundred years of the French in Old Mines. This book narrates the history of people in remote Louisiana and how they have kept alive a French heritage of culture and customs. The history of Old Mines is tightly bound to the Catholic faith the French settlers brought with them, the parish they founded, and the church, schools, rectories, and convents they built. The decade of the 2020s is filled with over twenty anniversaries to be marked and celebrated in the oldest mining town in Missouri, itself marking its Bicentennial in 2021. This is not a scholarly writing of history; it is a thirty-chapter narrative, grounded in research, of the continual presence of the French in Old Mines for three hundred years.
