Hi Russell, I don't know if there is info in this book which is relevant to your question but I'm sure some of it is relevant to your overall turbine engine project: Elements of Gas Turbine Propulsion by John D. Mattingly I have a physical copy of it but when I went looking for the exact title and author's full name (being lazy and not wanting to go and get the book to read them off it) I found that someone has put a full text copy of the book online: https://soaneemrana.org/onewebmedia/ELEMENTS%20OF%20GAS%20TURBINE%20PROPULT= ION2.pdf I don't know whether this is legit or not but it could at least serve to see whether the info is relevant to your work before you decide whether to purchase a physical copy.
