Propulsion

Catalog description

This course introduces each type of propulsion system that is commonly used in modern aerospace vehicles: e.g., rockets, piston aero engines, gas turbine engines, ramjets, and scramjets. This course presents a balance of theory, fundamental performance analysis, and design. Engineering principles and functionality mechanisms are used in assignments, including a group design project, requiring students to analyze the performance of each type of these propulsion systems. Prerequisites: EGME-3110 Thermodynamics; EGME-3210 Fluid Mechanics. (odd years)
