Aero Engines: With A General Introductory Account of the Theory of the Internal Combustion Engine (Eighth Edition), 1917

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 076, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180004
Abstract PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. A short course of lectures on Aero Engines was given by the author at the Northampton Polytechnic Institute during 1914. On the suggestion of Mr Charles E. Larard, M.Inst.C.E., M,I.M.E., Head of the Engineering Department, the matter contained in these lectures - necessarily somewhat rearranged and largely extended-is now issued in book form, in the hope that it may be found of assistance to a wider circle of readers.The engines are classified as...

Aircraft Engines: Theory, Analysis, Design and Operation, 1936

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 083, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180011
Abstract PREFACE: This volume has been prepared with a twofold aim: 1. It is designed for a textbook in engineering courses for undergraduate and post-graduate students. 2. It forms a collection of material which is largely new, and which should prove valuable to anyone concerned with design, construction, operation, or maintenance of aircraft engines. This book covers the basic theory and principles of aircraft-engine design and operation, and the authors believe it to be one of three volumes...

Aircraft Engines: Volume One, 1940

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 075, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180003
Topics Document Type: TextbookFrom Preface: "The object of the present book, which is the first of two volumes on aircraft engines, is an endeavour to present the principles and results of relevant research work upon internal combustion engines, for the benefit of those entering or already engaged in aircraft engineering work. It is also written in order to fill a gap existing in aeronautical literature, between the more advanced specialist books on theory and design and the elementary...

A.M. Fuel Systems for Aircraft, 1938

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 087, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180016
Abstract Dr. Demtchenko's work is a compilation of theoretical studies of, and practical experiments with, fuel feed systems. It is presented in such clear form that theorists and technicians alike will find in it a valuable guide to this subject which is of such importance to aeronautical security. Although theory here has been gone into with some detail, its practical application has in no case been omitted and the work as a whole constitutes a veritable treatise on fuel systems.NB:...

Engine Dynamics and Crankshaft Design (First Edition), 1925

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 084, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180012
Abstract Introduction to Engine Dynamics and Crankshaft Design The present volume is the first of the AIRPLANE ENGINE DESIGN SERIES to be presented. This volume will include the major portion of engine design problems requiring mathematics and, naturally, the analytical methods treated in the other volumes in connection with the design of other component parts of the engine must frequently be referred to the dynamics of the engine as herein treated. An effort has been made to simplify and condense...

Gas Turbines and Jet Propulsion for Aircraft (Fourth Edition), 1946

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 085, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180014
Abstract AUTHOR'S NOTE In the comparatively short space of five years, the turbine power unit has established itself on military types, and its employment is now being extended to civil aircraft. Already the modern gas turbine is available in units of far greater power than are obtainable with orthodox reciprocating engines. After the successful early stage of development of turbine-jet units, the industry is now engaged on a second phase comprising turbines driving air-screws, which give improved...

Jet: The Story of a Pioneer, 1954

 Item — Special collection MC-19, Book: 080, Book: Catalog Number: TBD
Identifier: 20180008
Topics Document Type: Historical Monograph (autobiography)Scope (from the Preface": "This book is not an autobiography. It is primarily the history I of my association with the development of the turbo-jet engine in Great Britain. I have included a very brief account of my life prior to my practical work on the turbo-jet engine, in order that the reader may have some idea of the nature of the soil in which the seed of an idea took root and flourished. I have been unable to resist the...
