理论课，3学分，3学时/周。先修课程：工程热力学（MAE305）或者热力学与统计物理I（PHY204）。本课程的目的是介绍吸气式推进系统。课程主要给学生讲授燃烧一个基本背景，一维可压缩内部流动，和布雷顿循环发动机热力学。另外，学生还将学习空气引擎中的主要部件，比如进气口、压缩机、燃烧器，涡轮机，和喷嘴等。Lecture，3 credits, 3 hours per week. Prerequisites: MAE305 or PHY204. The course is intended to serve as an introduction to air breathing propulsion systems. Students are given a basic background in combustion, one-dimensional compressible internal flows, and the thermodynamics of Brayton-cycle engines. In addition, the students are provided with more detailed discussion of the major components in an air breathing engines ranging from inlets and compressors to combustors, turbines, and nozzles.？
