Institution:

University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth

Subject:

Mechanical Engineering

Description:

3 hours lecture Prerequisites: MNE 321, 431, consent of instructor The mechanics and thermodynamics of airborne propulsion systems. Thrust equations and efficiencies are derived from first principles and applied to a variety of systems. Airbreathing engines that are discussed include ramjets, turbojets, turbofans, and turboprops. The aero-thermodynamics of inlets and nozzles is presented. The course concludes with an introduction to rocket propulsion, including the identification and classification of types of rocket systems, fundamental definitions and derivations, and rocket dynamics.
