Course Description

At first, the basis of thermodynamics will be reviewed followed up by studying several kinds of engine cycles.
Then the methods of evaluating the in-flow and out-flow of the thermal energy to and from the engine-cycle and the calculation of thermal efficiency will be studied.
Students will acquire the knowledge and techniques for the calculation related to DP1 and DP2.
This lecture is taught by teachers with practical experience. The teacher has been involved in the rocket engine development work at a company. In class, explanation and discussion etc. will be held based on actual example and actual experiences at the company and topics at the site.

Course Objectives

As the basis to study the aero-propulsion systems such as Reciprocating engine, Turbo Jet engine, and Turbo Fan engine, this course aims that students will master the basic thermodynamics of the engine cycle and to calculate basic thermodynamic properties.

Grading Policy

Evaluation will be done referring regular test.
