Course Objectives :
This course completes the previous propulsion course. The components of aircraft jet engines will be studied in detail. Students will gain a global understanding of aircraft jet engine theory and technology and also apply their previous knowledge of therm odynamics and gas dynamics to more complex problems for a better fundamental understanding of these subjects.
