General objectives
Acquire solid knowledge on the different jet propulsion related technologies, applied to various types of vehicles. Ability to usean isentropic model of a nozzle to design the latter for a specific purpose (thrust). Ability to apply a thermodynamic approachto analyze the behavior and performance of propulsion systems.
Content
• 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; Conservationlaws; application to Isentropic flows.
• Rocket engine design: Stagnation and critical states; operating mode of nozzles in rocket engines; influence of combustionpressure 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 pressureratios, air and fuel mass flow rates, blades geometries on the engine performances (specific impulse, propulsion efficiency andspecific fuel consumption).
