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                                                           6

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                                                                                             9

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

variation of flow properties.

 

UNIT III            NORMAL AND OBLIQUE SHOCKS                                                                           10

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

 

UNIT IV          JET PROPULSION                                                                                                       10

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                                                                                                 10

Types of rocket engines – Propellants-feeding systems – Ignition and combustion – Theory of rocket propulsion – Performance study – Staging – Terminal and characteristic velocity – Applications – space flights.
