MEE4167 Gas Dynamics and Jet Propulsion

Gas Dynamics and Jet Propulsion covers the fundamentals of compressible fluid flow and propulsion systems. Topics include properties of gases, Mach number, isentropic flow, flow through nozzles and diffusers, choking, shock and expansion waves, Fanno and Rayleigh flow. The course also introduces jet propulsion principles, including thrust generation, propulsion cycles, and performance analysis of turbojet, turbofan, ramjet, and rocket engines.
