Preface
In the preliminary design of a gas turbine engine, a great deal of information is brought together from many sources. One problem that many young engineers have is in remembering what they have learned in order to apply it. If we were to ask you to name your first-grade teacher, most of you would be able to. Why? It’s because over the course of our lives, we each build a personal matrix in which all the events, experiences, and encounters—even the most detailed—are stored and linked, simply but solidly. So, when we are asked about something personal, we can immediately go to our matrix, trace through the connections, and pull out the relevant information. As young engineers, we have no equivalent technical matrix and often only a vague idea of how to relate one piece of technology to another. This is due mainly to the fact that technical subjects must be taught as separate classes, because there is simply so much! The extent of any overlap is often not obvious, and connections are not made in the first encounters, usually because of a lack of understanding at the time. But understanding can only be based on experien
