What it is about

You will receive a system-oriented overview of chemical liquid rocket engines and their components. You will learn how systems change when transitioning between different cycles (e.g., pressure-fed, tap-off, expander-bleed, full expander), which ignition and transient phenomena occur, and how to perform a preliminary design and sizing assessment for complete liquid propulsion systems. In short: by the end you will be able to distinguish various engine cycles, assess their application, and conduct a preliminary layout.

What you will be able to do

  • Distinguish and sketch main cycles of chemical rocket engines
  • Select the appropriate cycle for a given application
  • Name essential engine components and explain their operating principles
  • Determine key parameters for the sizing of the components
  • Discuss technical implications of modern developments in space propulsion and transportation

What the module consists of

  • LecturePresentation of systems and components, introduction to cycles and transients; foundation for understanding and calculations

Teaching method

  • Multimedia-supported interactive lectures (slides, videos)Support understanding through visual explanations and interaction
