Description
The book you are holding is the result of research undertaken in the UK in the field of Aerospace Propulsion. The purpose of the book is to demistify gas turbine engine diagnostics and highlight the latest in research in this area. The book centers around the theoretical engine which has been used to research development of a knovel method of diagnostics. The engine’s parameters are defined and form the basis of developing a system of diagnosing certain faults using gas path and vibration diagnostics in a hybrid format. A review of current diagnotics methods is also presented. It is hoped that the book will provide the reader with a better understanding of diagnotic methods for jet engines.
Kitetu’s work makes a great contribution to the field of Aerospace Propulsion. I applaud the content of knowledge demonstrated and its relevance to the research area [Robert W. Omusonga; Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, Mombasa, Kenya].
Joshua Muli Kitetu, MSc, is a Tutorial Fellow at the Technical University of Kenya, Nairobi, Kenya. He is a member of staff at the Department of Aerospace and Aviation Engineering which is one of its kind in the region. He holds a MSc degree in Thermal Power from Cranfield University, Bedfordshire, UK and a B.tech degree (Speicializing in Maintenance of Aviation and Space Equipement) from the Moscow State Technical University of Civil Aviation, Moscow Russian Federation. He is also a member of the Institute of Diesel and Gas Turbine Engineers, Bedford, UK. His main areas of research interest are in Aerospace Propulsion Thermodynamics and Aircraft Systems. He has been attached with local airlines helping with their maintenance activities including Kenya Airways and East African Safari Air Express based at the JKIA, Nairobi.
