Module Number: 13802

Every summer semester
Credit points: 6

Module examination: Written exam 

Learning outcome: 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.

Content: 

• Overall: purpose of construction, construction process and cooperation with other departments, legally aviation standards and certification requirements, general view on core engines
• Compressor: implementation of aerodynamic requirements, annulus determination, construction of blades, rotors and casings, construction of variable stator vanes
• Combustor: construction types, annular combustor
