AE3412: Propulsion Laboratory syllabus for AERO 2021 regulation

Propulsion Laboratory detailed syllabus for Aeronautical Engineering (AERO) for 2021 regulation curriculum has been taken from the Anna University official website and presented for the AERO students. For course code, course name, number of credits for a course and other scheme related information, do visit full semester subjects post given below.

For Aeronautical Engineering 4th Sem scheme and its subjects, do visit AERO 4th Sem 2021 regulation scheme. The detailed syllabus of propulsion laboratory is as follows.

Course Objectives:

• To explore practically components of aircraft piston and gas turbine engines and their working principles.
• To impart practical knowledge of flow phenomenon of subsonic and supersonic jets.
• To determine practically thrust developed by rocket propellants.

List of Experiments:

1. Study of aircraft piston and its components .
2. Determine the velocity profiles of free jets.
3. Determine Velocity profiles of wall jets.
4. Wall pressure measurements of a subsonic diffusers and ramjet ducts.
5. Flame stabilization studies using conical and hemispherical flame holders.
6. Cascade testing of compressor blades.
7. Velocity and pressure measurements high speed jets.
8. Wall Pressure measurements of supersonic nozzle.
9. Wall pressure measurements on supersonic inlet
10. Flow visualization of supersonic flow.
11. Performance test of propeller

Course Outcomes:

• Identify components and information of piston and gas turbine engine.
• Analyze the behaviour of flow through ducts and jet engine components to distinguish subsonic and supersonic flow characteristics.
• Visualize flow phenomenon in supersonic flow.
