Aerospace Propulsion

课程简介

/ Indicative Syllabus 1. Introduction to thermodynamics, compressible flows, and quasi- one-dimensional flows. 2. Classification of the different types of air-breathing propulsion systems –turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, turboshaft, ramjet, scramjet. 3. Classification of the different types of spacecraft propulsion – solid rocket motors, liquid rocket engines, electric propulsion 4. Components and functions of solid rocket motors and liquid rocket engines 5. Combustion fundamentals– laminar and turbulent flames, diffusion and premixed flames, supersonic combustion. -- 1 of 3 --

目标

This subject treat aerospace propulsion systems of all kinds, with a focus on spacecraft thrusters. Its intent is to foster an understanding of the characteristics of these diverse propulsion systems from the basic principles, showing how each uses sources of propulsive mass and energy to produce thrust.
