Propulsion – I Syllabus for B.Tech 4th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Propulsion – I B.Tech (R13) fourthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To introduce basic concepts and salient features of engine components of jet propelled engines which are operated in atmosphere to students. This course is also aimed at making students familiarize with advanced jet propulsion methods like hypersonic propulsion.
UNIT I : FUNDAMENTALS OF AIR BREATHING ENGINES [8 hours]
Operating principles of piston engines – thermal efficiency calculations – classification of piston engines – illustration of working of gas turbine engine – the thrust equation – factors affecting thrust – effect of pressure, velocity and temperature changes of air entering compressor – methods of thrust augmentation – characteristics of turboprop, turbofan and turbojet – performance characteristics.
UNIT II : INLETS, NOZZLES AND COMBUSTION CHAMBERS FOR JET ENGINES [10 hours]
Internal flow and Stall in subsonic inlets – relation between minimum area ratio and eternal deceleration ratio – diffuser performance – supersonic inlets – starting problem on supersonic inlets – shock swallowing by area variation – . real flow in nozzles and nozzle efficiency – losses in nozzles – equilibrium flow and frozen flow in nozzles- two phase flow in nozzles – ejector and variable area nozzles – interaction of nozzle flow with adjacent surfaces – thrust reversal- classification of combustion chambers – combustion chamber performance – effect of operating variables on performance – flame stabilization
UNIT III: COMPRESSORS FOR JET ENGINES [9 hours]
Principle of operation of centrifugal compressor and axial flow compressor– Work done and pressure rise – velocity diagrams – degree of reaction – free vortex and constant reaction designs of axial flow compressor – performance characteristics of centrifugal and axial flow compressors– stage efficiency calculations – cascade testing
