Course Description

The functions and performances of such turbo-engines as turbojet engine, turbofan engine, etc. are studied based on the basic knowledge of thermodynamics, aerodynamics, etc..
Students will acquire the knowledge and techniques for the calculation related to DP1 and DP2.

Course Objectives

The target of this lecture is for students to acquire an ability to understand the principle of the function of the turbojet engine, turbofan engine, turbo-prop engine and the turbo-shaft engine applied to the aero-propulsion system.
Students will also be able to understand the characteristics of each type and the differences of functions between them.

Grading Policy

Graded by evaluation of report submitted by students.
