Many folks may find the materials from USC Professor Paul Ronney's AME-436 class, "Energy and Propulsion," to be educational. He provides his lectures, problem sets, study guides, and so forth at While the individual lectures are not available outside the USC network, the entire collection in one large (180 MB) file is available at and the Excel spreadsheet he describes in Lecture 9 is available at . The only thing lacking in his spreadsheet is a temperature variant value for the ratio of specific heats and the calculation of heat transfer (I can provide those calculations for anyone interested). There's a lot of interesting material in the lectures even for those uninterested in the math (just red the words and skip the math to get a qualitative sense).
