    This web page was developed as part of a class, Propulsion Systems, taken at the FAMU/FSU College of Engineering. In it, topics such as IC engines and jet engines were covered.  As part of the class curriculum, students formed groups and had to learn about a specific topic outside of the context of the classroom and then give a presentation and design a web page conveying the material that was learned. 

Topics Covered:

History of Gas Turbine Engine

   Types of Compressors

  Design of an Axial Flow Compressor

  Design of a Turbine

    Cooling Methods for Turbines

   Velocity Diagram for a Compressor 

   Compressor Example Problem
