Fundamentals of Engine Technology
Module Number: 13801
Every winter semester
Credit points: 6
Module examination: Written exam
Learning outcome: 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.
Content:
- 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)
