6 CPSummerEN
Prerequisites
Mandatory, as written
No successful completion of module 13802 Core Engine Design 1
Recommended, as written
• Ideally basic knowledge on turbomachinery and thermodynamics
Contents
Introduction & Engine Performance • Overview • History • Types of aero engines • Cycle Design • EEP • Noise Engine Systems • Air Systems (Stefan 180 min) • Oil Systems & Fire & Vent Compressor • Aerodynamics • Mechanical Design including Lifing • Special topics Combustor • Aerodynamics • Mechanical Design • Special topics
Learning outcomes
At the end of the module the student are able to understand the layout and construction of core engine designs, including compressor and combustion chamber. They are able to evaluate new designs in the field of core engines and to independently propose and develop justified adaptations of standard designs. The independent development of application-related and research-oriented knowledge represents a complementary point of the acquired competence. In general, the students will learn: • How an aero engine works • Different types of aero engines • Introduction to major system, subsystems and components • Design and analysis challenges • Impact of new technologies (digital, electrification,..) • Technology and innovation management • Real world applications • How a large enterprise works and new working practices • Career progression and expectations
Assessment
• Written examination, 120 minutes.
