Written by an author who has devoted the past twenty-five years of
his life to studying and designing shock wave engines, this unique
book offers comprehensive coverage of the theory and practice of
shock wave engine design. The only book treating the complete
preliminary design of shock wave engines, it provides engineers
with practical step-by-step guidelines applicable to the design and
construction of small, light- weight, low-powered industrial
turbines as well as high performance jet aircraft engines.
In his discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of shock
wave versus other types of combustion engines, Dr. Weber
demonstrates how and why shock wave engines can be made to work
more efficiently than conventional gas turbines. Among other
things, he shows quantitatively why combustion temperatures can be
significantly higher in shock wave engines than conventional gas
turbines. He evaluates temperatures of moving parts in terms of
combustion and engine inlet temperatures, and explores the effect
of shock coalescence, expansion fan reflections and intersections
on port sizes and locations. And throughout, real and imagined
performance problems are posed and proven solutions given for shock
wave engines--alone and in conjunction with conventional gas
turbines or reciprocating internal combustion engines.
Designed to function as a practical guide, Shock Wave Engine Design
offers concise step-by-step design techniques in a readily usable
format. Engineers will find precise, detailed directions on such
essentials as how to size wave rotor blade lengths and heights and
the correct rotor diameter for a specified power, and material
selection for rotor and stator. And one entire chapter (Chapter 12)
is devoted exclusively to a detailed example design for a 500 hp
engine.
An authoritative, highly practical guide to state-of-the-art shock
wave engine design, this book is an important resource for
mechanical and aerospace engineers who design aircraft engines or
virtually any type of turbomachinery.
Timely, authoritative, practical--an important resource for
engineers who design aircraft engines or virtually any type of

Written by a pioneer in the field, this book offers a comprehensive
coverage of state-of-the-art shock wave engine design principles
and techniques. The only book treating the complete preliminary
design of shock wave engines, this unique guide provides engineers
with:
* Concise step-by-step guidelines applicable to the design and
construction of small, lightweight, low-powered industrial turbines
as well as high-performance jet aircraft engines
* In-depth treatments of pressure exchangers, wave engines, and
wave engines compounded with reciprocating IC engines
* A chapter-length example design for a 500 hp engine
* A brief but thorough review of all essential thermodynamics and
gas dynamics needed to develop flow equations and calculation
