Overview

Dive into the world of aerospace propulsion through this comprehensive course. Explore air-breathing engines like turbojets, turboprops, turbofans, ramjets, and scramjets, as well as non-air-breathing engines. Analyze general performance parameters and conduct cycle analyses for various engine types. Study rocket nozzles, including 1D analysis, real effects, and thrust vectoring. Delve into solid rockets, examining propellants, burn rates, performance, grain design, ignition, and quenching. Investigate liquid rockets, covering propellants, nozzle cooling, feed systems, pumps, and fuel injection. Learn about hybrid rockets and their performance characteristics. Conclude with an introduction to chemical equilibrium analysis using SP 273.

  • Very good course, great knowledge of the teachers and the way they explain the content.
    I liked the method very much
  • Likith N
    This course help me so much, teaching is also very good i have completed my courses in my home .so, usefull i refer my friends to this Course .
  • This course is a must in aerospace propulsion. It has given a good refresher on what propulsion truly is and with combining the calculation of thrust vs weight for multiple thrust types such as propeller thrust and turbine thrust.
