| ||||||
| Course contents : | The course is subdivided into 4 chapters: thermochemistry of rocket engines and influence of the combustion on the thrust, solid-propellant rocket engines, liquid-propellant rocket engines and combined propulsion (air cycles). | |||||
| ||||||
| Course objective : | The aim of this course is to provide the students with the basis for design and rating a chemical rocket engine. | |||||
| ||||||
| Prerequisites : | Course MECA007-0 "Emploi des combustibles" Course MECA002-0 "Thermodynamique appliquée et introduction aux machines thermiques" | |||||
| ||||||
| Workshops : | In order to illustrate the different concepts, practical exercises are solved progressively with the students. | |||||
| ||||||
| Organization : | The course consists in an oral presentation illustrated by practical examples. It is given during the second semester (dates to be discussed with the students who choose the course). | |||||
