| 151-0204-00L | Aerospace Propulsion | 4 credits | 2V + 1U | R. S. Abhari, V. Iranidokht | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | An introduction of working principals and design of airbreathing engines as well as rocket propulsion are presented. Key elements of the propulsion system as well as the design choices for the engineering of various components are examined. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Introduction of working principals and design of aircraft engines and the related background in aero- and thermodynamics. Engineering aspects of the component designs are examined. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | This course focuses on the fundamental concepts as well as the applied technologies for aerospace application, with a primary focus related to aviation. The systematic evolution of the aircraft propulsion engines, from turbojet to the modern high bypass ratio turbofan, including the operational limitations, are examined. Following the system analysis, the aero/thermo design of each component, including the inlet, fan, compressor, combustors, turbines and exhaust nozzles are presented. The mechanical and material limitations, as well as design choices related to manufacturing and operability of engines are also presented. The environmental aspects of propulsion (noise and emissions) are also presented. In the last part of the course, a basic introduction to the fundamentals of space propulsion is also presented. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Lecture notes will be distributed. There will be NO recording of the lectures, nor the exercise sessions. Physical attendance in this course is advised. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
