OBJECTIVES:
 To understand the concept of compressible flow and isentropic flow through nozzles and
diffusers
 To understand the flow through constant area ducts with heat transfer and friction and variation
of fluid properties
 To understand the phenomenon of shock waves, its effect on flow and applications
 To gain knowledge of theory and analysis of jet propulsion and operating principles of various
types of aircraft engines
 To understand theory of rocket propulsion, rocket engines, propellant feeding systems, equations
and applications

UNIT I BASIC CONCEPTS AND ISENTROPIC FLOWS 9

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 9

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

UNIT IV JET PROPULSION 9

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 9

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 student will be able to
 Explain basic concepts of gas dynamics and analyze the compressible flow in ducts with area
changes
 Understand and analyse the simple flows such as Fanno flow and Rayleigh flow with applications to
nozzle.
