14050 - Environmental Impact of Aero Engines Modulübersicht

Module Number: 14050
Module Title:Environmental Impact of Aero Engines
  Umweltauswirkungen von Luftfahrtantrieben
Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Enghardt, Lars
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every summer semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:In a first step, students learn about the emissions of conventional aircraft engines – including NOx, CO2 and noise – based on examples and some basic mathematical equations. In a second step, it will be detailed how the electrification of the aircraft power train will affect the emissions. This will include the generation of contrails but also the generation of noise by the new components of the electric propulsion system, such as electric motors.
In the accompanying exercises, students will solve some basic mathematical problems related to the emissions of conventional and electrical aircraft propulsion systems. In addition, the students will have the chance to work on a self-chosen topic and present it to their peers at the end of the module.
Contents:
  • aircraft emissions
  • cloud formation and contrails
  • aircraft effect on global warming
  • aircraft noise measurements
  • sources of noise in conventional aircraft engines
  • effect of electrification on the noise generation
  • noise from the electric components
  • noise reduction measures
  • introduction to relevant acoustic measurements and simulations
  • review of current research projects on novel engines concepts and their implications on emissions
