AEGR 5233 - Aerospace Propulsion Systems

This course provides an overview of the propulsion systems used in modern flight vehicles, including planes and rockets. Students will study the principles of gas dynamics, boundary layer theory, and combustion as they relate to aeropropulsion. Various propulsion systems will be covered including turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, ramjet, scramjet, and rockets, including subsonic, transonic, and supersonic applications. This course will cover the design and performance characteristics of such propulsion systems. Class 3. Prerequisite(s): MEGR 3513 and MEGR 3713.
