Providing students with the capacity to apply advanced R&D techniques for design, optimization and experimental investigation of real propulsion components and analysis of their performance.

Student capable to recognize the appropriate approach for the design and optimization of propulsion components and their matching. Also, student capable to analyze real overall propulsion performance and design an experiment and experimental test rig.

Education starts with a general introduction to the methods and techniques for the calculation and optimization of real propulsion systems and their energy elements. After, it follows the subject of the researcher's dissertation.

The practical teaching follows the exposed material.

Basic knowledge in fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.

Corresponding literature and software tools.
