Propulsion System for Engineers
This course focuses on the principles, design, and performance of systems that generate thrust to move aircraft, spacecraft, and vehicles. It covers jet, rocket, and electric propulsion, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, efficiency, and real-world engineering applications in aerospace and related fields.
Course Outcome
This course is designed to equip students to understand the fundamental principles of propulsion systems and how thrust is generated. Students will be able to analyze the performance of IC engine, air-breathing, and rocket propulsion systems using thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. Students will learn to evaluate efficiency, limitations, and environmental impacts, and apply this knowledge to solve real-world aerospace propulsion engineering problems.
