MECHANICS AND THERMODYNAMICS OF PROPULSION 

About this Course

Course Description

In this course students will study and analyze rocket, piston, gas turbine, and ramjet and scramjet propulsion systems. They will perform mathematical engineering analysis of different types of propulsion elements and calculate their effect on the overall system performance. This will involve a small project of propulsion systems that they will optimize to meet specified requirements.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Analyze components and performance of propulsion systems. [P02, L03, SS1]{C4}
2 ) Communicate a design project in a professional manner. [P09, L04, SS2] {A2}
3 ) Evaluate problems in propulsion systems. [P04, L03, SSl] {C6}
4 ) Explain propulsion systems and their components. [PO 1, LO 1, SS 1] { C2}
5 ) Conceptually design a propulsion system that is intended for a particular mission. [P03, L03, SSl] {C5}
