Description for Aerospace Engineering on the Back of an Envelope
paperback. Engineers need to acquire "Back-of-the-Envelope" survival skills to obtain rough quantitative answers to real-world problems. This volume offers step-by-step examples of the quick-fire method, and demonstrates more detailed physics-based engineering models. Series: Springer-Praxis Books. Num Pages: 348 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TRP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 240 x 168 x 20. Weight in Grams: 591.
Engineers need to acquire “Back-of-the-Envelope” survival skills to obtain rough quantitative answers to real-world problems, particularly when working on projects with enormous complexity and very limited resources. In the case studies treated in this book, we show step-by-step examples of the physical arguments and the resulting calculations obtained using the quick-fire method. We also demonstrate the estimation improvements that can be obtained through the use of more detailed physics-based Back-of-the-Envelope engineering models. These different methods are used to obtain the solutions to a number of design and performance estimation problems arising from two of the most complex real-world engineering projects: ... Read more
