Propulsion
Review of control volume analysis and quasi-one-dimensional compressible flow. Simple propeller theory. Analysis and design of rocket nozzles and air-breathing engines, including performance and cycle analysis; flow in nozzles, diffusers, compressor, and turbine stages; combustion chamber processes and propellants. Includes an introduction to chemical rocket propulsion. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
