Abstract Air-breathing propulsion systems include turbojet, turboprop, ducted fan, ramjet, ducted rocket, nuclear jet, pulse jet, and their many variations with intercooling, reheat, regeneration, afterburning, and water injection. These air-breathing propulsion systems can best be analyzed through thermodynamic cycle analysis. The fundamentals of thermodynamic cycle analysis were already described in detail in Chapter 1 through the various unit processes and through the two illustrative examples using the gas table. However, in order to provide clarity in certain special cases when such clarity is required, the application of the unit processes to such propulsion systems will be given here, although detailed procedures within each unit process will still be omitted (here readers should refer to Chapter 1).
