ME6604 GAS DYNAMICS AND JET PROPULSION

OBJECTIVES:

∙ To understand the basic difference between incompressible and compressible flow.

∙ To understand the phenomenon of shock waves and its effect on flow. To gain some basic
knowledge about jet propulsion and Rocket Propulsion.

(Use of Standard Gas Tables permitted)

UNIT I BASIC CONCEPTS AND ISENTROPIC FLOWS

Energy and momentum equations of compressible fluid flows – Stagnation states, Mach
waves and Mach cone – Effect of Mach number on compressibility – Isentropic flow through
variable ducts – Nozzle and Diffusers

UNIT II FLOW THROUGH DUCTS

Flows through constant area ducts with heat transfer (Rayleigh flow) and Friction (Fanno
flow) – variation of flow properties.

UNIT III NORMAL AND OBLIQUE SHOCKS

Governing equations – Variation of flow parameters across the normal and oblique shocks
– Prandtl – Meyer relations – Applications.

UNIT IV JET PROPULSION

Theory of jet propulsion – Thrust equation – Thrust power and propulsive efficiency –
Operating principle, cycle analysis and use of stagnation state performance of ram jet,
turbojet, turbofan and turbo prop engines.

UNIT V SPACE PROPULSION

Types of rocket engines – Propellants-feeding systems – Ignition and combustion – Theory


of rocket propulsion – Performance study – Staging – Terminal and characteristic velocity –
Applications – space flights.

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:

∙ Upon completion of this course, the students can able to successfully apply gas dynamics
principles in the Jet and Space Propulsion
