Course contents

The theories and principles of jet and rocket propulsion. Thermodynamic cycles. The mechanics and thermodynamics of combustion. Turbine engine and rocket performance characteristics. Component and cycle analysis of jet engines and turbomachinery. AAE 407: Aerodynamics Experiment Methods, Instrumentation and Propulsion Lab (2 Units C: PH 30) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. describe the applications of the fundamental principles taught in aerodynamics courses; 2. exhibit basic knowledge related to experimental aerodynamics and measurements techniques; 3. become proficient in the use of basic equipment representative of aerospace engineering practice; 4. explain how to design experiments and how to conduct experiments; 5. discuss how to analyse and evaluate experimental data; 6. write good laboratory reports; 7. gain more laboratory experiences to get “hands-on” lab training; and 8. gain experiences to promote the spirit of team-work among the engineering students. Course Contents The laboratories introduce undergraduate students to experimental methods in aerodynamics and propulsion. Experiments include subsonic wind tunnel tests of the forces and pressures on aircraft models, wings, cylinders, spheres and spheroids. They also include design and execution of flat plate boundary layer measurement as a team effort. Gas turbine engine
