Can someone suggest some good books on gas turbines

Gas turbine engineering handbook by Meherwan P boyce

anyone has the pdf?? this is a gem, need to read it.

kaveri toh lmao ded ho gya fr fr no cap

KDE dry is gonna happen at maximum

I don't think it's dead, may be used experience in another project.

Remember given after burner project to bhrahmos jv team.

Tbh there are problem with Kaveri's design itself. And even with afterburner and new materials. They won't be able to reach necessary thrust to weight ratio. So, ig they decided to abandon it in favour of a new project. Kaveri became KDE that's it. So technically not dead. Partial success you could say because KDE will power Ghatak.

i still believe that if we pursue the project properly, kaveri can be integrated with the 97 tejas mk1a or atleast 2/3rd ie the last 60 mk1a

but the reason to lmao ded it might be to shift the entire workforce to amca engine development, idk what was the reason to kill it, but i hope we can get the next gen engine in 8-9 years

Are dukh kyun ho rahe? KDE is still there. This is how R&D goes. You should be glad we learnt something from it and it finally became useful for something. Atleast this R&D went into something. Future of KDE is bright because it exceeds thrust requirements. All they have to do is reduce weight.

Yes. Full credit to DRDO & GTRE for keeping the project alive thru internal funding & for incremental development of various technologies not fully realised on the Kaveri respectively after BA in History / Eng Lit ( Hons ) from St Stephens / JNU babooos in MoD / MoF cut off funding.

Ironically this was done in MP's tenure as Raksha Mantri IIRC. Whatever may be the case it was a monumental blunder on par with whatever we did with the Marut project.

dukhi isliye hun kyunki agar hum kaveri par all in bet karte to maybe 41st tejas se hi kaveri aa jata with full 85kn thrust, we have always let the bus leave, we never missed the bus, we as a country are banana republic

and full respect to drdo people and gtre who somehow continued to research on kaveri and turbofans, atleast we had hopes, which meant we believed them, they redesigned almost every part, from turbine entry fan blades to blisks to bypass ducts to new afterburner

again an ignored and forgotten warrior for kde was dmrl, they have the work to work n superalloys and single crystals, they worked on it in really good way, if given proper funding, work could have been accelerated

kaveri was a really good journey, although didnt finish on a high note on how we wanted, but its daughter kde will fulfil the dreams with ghatak

now all i want to see is amca engine on amca mk2 with full mass production by 2035-36

Kaveri engine program can now be considered a success, as India has developed a dry variant suitable for powering drones. This opens up the possibility of developing a B-2 Spirit-style stealth bomber powered by four dry Kaveri engines. The B-2 itself is powered by four F118 dry engines, each with a thrust of 77 kN, but India wouldn’t require that level of range for missions targeting Pakistani nuclear weapon storage bunkers with bunker-buster bombs. Once the Ghatak drone begins flight tests with the Kaveri engine, I’m confident DRDO will eventually propose a larger drone platform powered by two or even four dry Kaveri engines.

It's really breakthrough, if it's happened than we can gradually move to jet engine for fighter aircraft.

But if we sum up all our hope sukoi30 mki, better make it in large numbers with latest upgrads.
