This book demonstrates that theory in literary and cultural studies has moved beyond overarching master theories towards a greater awareness of particularity and contingency – including its own. What is the place of literary and cultural theory after the Age of Theory has ended? Grouping its chapters into rubrics of metatheory, cultural theory, critical theory and textual theory, the collection demonstrates that the practice of “doing theory” has neither lost its vitality nor can it be in any way dispensable. Current directions covered include the renewed interest in phenomenology, the increased acknowledgement of the importance of media history for all cultural practices and formations, complexity studies, new narratology, literary ethics, cultural ecology, and an intensified interest in textual as well as cultural matter.

General Notes:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Propulsion principles and engine classification -- Quasi-one-dimensional flow equations -- Idealized cycle analysis of jet propulsion engines -- Combustion chambers for airbreathing engines -- Nozzles for airbreathing engines -- Inlets for airbreathing engines -- Turbomachinery -- Blade element theory for axial flow turbomachines -- Airbreathing engine performance and component integration -- Propellers -- Liquid propellant rocket motors -- Solid propellant rocket motors -- Space propulsion.
Theory of Aerospace Propulsion, Second Edition, teaches engineering students how to utilize the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to analyze aircraft engines, understand the common gas turbine aircraft propulsion systems, be able to determine the applicability of each, perform system studies of aircraft engine systems for specified flight conditions and preliminary aerothermal design of turbomachinery components, and conceive, analyze, and optimize competing preliminary designs for conventional and unconventional missions. This updated edition has been fully revised, with new content, new examples and problems, and improved illustrations to better facilitate learning of key concepts.
