Overview
Most people understand aircrafts fly due to the lift generated by the wings. But do you know that without thrust producing devices, wings are of no use? In this course, we will use thermodynamic analysis to study power generation cycles that produce thrust. Analysis of ideal and real engines will … For more content click the Read More button below.
A second compelling question is whether a single propulsion system is sufficient to propel an aircraft at a range of speeds. To answer this question, the course will delve deeply into propellers and gas turbine engines and provide an introduction to supersonic and hypersonic propulsion systems.
Within the context of engineering, this course will study the design considerations of individual components of a gas turbine engine, namely, the inlet, the compressor, the combustor, the turbine, and the nozzle.
