Module overview

This module develops aerodynamic and thermodynamic methods for design of gas turbine engines. Starting from considerations of aircraft requirements and basic thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, students learn how the overall engine design can be tailored to achieve the required performance and develop a detailed understanding of turbomachinery design.
