Propulsion – II Syllabus for B.Tech 5th 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 – II B.Tech (R13) fifthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To impart knowledge in non air-breathing and hypersonic propulsion methods to students so that they are familiar with various propulsion technologies associated with space launch vehicles, missiles and space probes.
UNIT I : HYPERSONIC AIRBREATHING PROPULSION [8 hours]
Introduction to hypersonic air breathing propulsion, hypersonic vehicles and supersonic combustion- need for supersonic combustion for hypersonic propulsion – salient features of scramjet engine and its applications for hypersonic vehicles – problems associated with supersonic combustion –engine/airframe integration aspects of hypersonic vehicles – various types scramjet combustors – fuel injection schemes in scramjet combustors – one dimensional models for supersonic combustion using method of influence coefficients.
UNIT II : FUNDAMENTALS OF CHEMICAL ROCKET PROPULSION [9 hours]
Operating principle – specific impulse of a rocket – internal ballistics – performance considerations of rockets – types of igniters- preliminary concepts in nozzle-less propulsion – air augmented rockets – pulse rocket motors – static testing of rockets & instrumentation –safety considerations
UNIT III : SOLID ROCKET PROPULSION [10 hours]
Salient features of solid propellant rockets – selection criteria of solid propellants – estimation of solid propellant adiabatic flame temperature – propellant grain design considerations – erosive burning in solid propellant rockets – combustion instability – strand burner and T-burner – applications and advantages of solid propellant rockets.
