MAE 5510
Propulsion of Aircraft and Rockets

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

Introduction to air and rocket propulsion. Emphasis on air-breathing gas-turbines. Chemical rocket propulsion. Brief discussion of of ramjets and of propellers. Application of thermodynamic and fluid-mechanical principles to analysis of performance and design, including fuel efficiency and environmental impacts.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ENGRD 2210/MAE 2210 and MAE 3230 or equivalents. Recommended prerequisite: MAE 3050.

Outcomes
  • Students will be able to describe and interpret the types, characteristics, and performance measures of combustion engines used in propulsion, power generation, and road vehicles.
  • Students will be able to apply thermodynamic and fluid mechanical principles to quantitatively describe engine operation.
  • Students will be able to predict how their performance depends on design parameters and operating conditions.
