Syllabus
Propeller Testing: Estimation of Static Performance, Estimation of Figure of Merit – Nozzle Testing: Mach number Distribution along a Convergent-divergent Nozzle – Flame Speed Measurement: Variation of Flame Speed with Equivalence Ratio – Study of Free Incompressible Jet: Study of Velocity Profiles and the Entrainment Process – Cascade Testing: Measurements of Velocity and Pressure in a Cascade Flow Field: Effect of the Variation in Angle of Attack.
Objectives and Outcomes
Objectives
To learn the thermal and fluid flow measurement techniques pertaining to the aircraft and rocket propulsion systems using experimental simulation of thermal fluid flow behaviour.
Course Outcomes
- CO1: Gain insight to the experimental performance characterization of propellers using static
- CO2: Analyze the velocity field of an incompressible free jet experimentally and understand how cascade testing is performed.
- CO3: Study the flow through a CD nozzle based on wall-static pressure measurements and gain insight to intrusive measurements in supersonic flows.
- CO4: Learn how flame speed is measured and use measurements to analyze its variation with equivalence
