Content of the Course

This course introduces you to the fundamentals of thermodynamics and gas dynamics, in particular p-v and T-s diagrams of Otto and Joule process, as well as flow through diffusers and nozzles. In addition, the focus is on the design, operation and performance of gas turbine assemblies as well as material and running time problems in gas turbine engines.

Upon completion of this course, you will have knowledge of the basic structure, working principle and performance of engines and will be able to expertly assess various aircraft propulsion systems.
