People interested in this might enjoy several series of articles by
Bjorn Ferm on the design, development, in-service use, and maintenance
of modern (turbofan) jet engines for aircraft.

A few of the articles are paywalled, but the free summaries are already
interesting.  Here are the URLs that I have (a few articles seem to be
misnumbered and/or mislabelled):

The first series, "Turbofan engine challenges":
