Contenu
This course aims to understand
• Jet propulsion systems and their performance criteria applied to Air-Breathing and Rocket engines: Thrust; Specific Impulse; Propulsion efficiency; Tsiolkovsky rocket equation; Breguet aircraft equation.
• Fundamental of Compressible flows: Mach number and thermodynamics of compressible flows; Shockwaves; Conservation laws; application to Isentropic flows.
• Rocket engine design: Stagnation and critical states; operating mode of nozzles in rocket engines; influence of combustion pressure and temperature and of nozzle geometry on the thrust finally produced. Calculation of the resulting specific impulse.
• Propulsion systems combustion processes: influence of fuel composition and of Air-Fuel Ratio on the performance of air-breathing combustion processes; use of liquid and solid propellants in rocket engine combustion processes.
• Air-breathing propulsion turbomachines: Thermodynamic cycles used in turbojet or turbofans engines; influence of pressure ratios, air and fuel mass flow rates, blades geometries on the engine performances (specific impulse, propulsion efficiency and specific fuel consumption).
