Modules

Prerequisites

Contents

• Design of aero engines • Requirements and specialist areas in engine design • Design process, design rules and strength of materials • Annulus diagram, rotor dynamic design, internal air system, oilsystem and bearing chambers, radial gap behavior in compressors and turbines • Engine installation and suspension, equipment, devices, dressings • Introduction to thermodynamics, thermodynamic basics of cycle calculation, performance management (ratings) and regulation, • Advanced modeling capabilities - ways to increase accuracy • Basics of testing and analysis (sea level, altitude, compliance testing)

Learning outcomes

After successfully participating in the module, students have basic knowledge of the design and performance calculation of aero engines. You are able to work on given questions using engine-specific construction and modeling methods and to critically question both current and future scientific problems and answer them independently.

Assessment

• Oral examination, 60 minutes OR Written examination, 120 minutes In the first lecture it will be announced, if he examination will be offered in written or oral form.
