Learning outcomes
Acquire solid knowledge on the different jet propulsion related technologies, applied to various types of vehicles. Ability to use an isentropic model of a nozzle to design the latter for a specific purpose (thrust). Ability to apply a thermodynamic approach to analyze the behavior and performance of propulsion systems based on air-breathing turbomachines (turbojets and turbofans).<br><br>This basic course of hydraulics is based on several points:<br>• Acquire technical vocabulary related to hydraulic networks, pumps, turbines and waterhammer effects <br>• Acquire basic concepts of hydraulic networks (minor and major losses)<br>• Ability to choose the appropriate pump family (use of speed velocity) and the adequate pump<br>• Acquire basic concepts of hydraulic turbines<br>• Ability to choose the appropriate hydraulic turbine<br>• Acquire basic concepts of waterhammer and pressure transients<br>• Ability to choose appropriate mitigating waterhammer method<br><br>The course is a direct continuation of the Heat Transfer course. The objectives of the course are:<br><br>- Develop an awareness of the transient conduction situations and learn the techniques to solve problems built around advanced geometries<br>- Explore the diversity of heat transfer by convection: external, internal and natural convection. Apply to different geometries. Identify natural convection situation parameters thanks to the Grashoff and Rayleigh numbers.<br>- Identify the different physical situations involved in boiling and condensation problems.<br>- Understand advanced radiation problems such has network of resistances, radiation shields, gray surfaces<br>- Express the knowledge acquired during the two lectures in a personnal project
