SYLLABUS: -
Core Topics:
Basics: Thermodynamics, boundary layers and heat transfer and combustion
thermochemistry.
Thermodynamics of aircraft engines: Thrust, efficiency and engine performance of
turbojet, turboprop, turbo shaft, turbofan and ramjet engines, thrust
augmentation of turbojets and turbofan engines. Aerothermodynamics of non-
rotating propulsion components such as intakes, combustor and nozzle.
Axial compressors: Angular momentum, work and compression, characteristic
performance of a single axial compressor stage, efficiency of the compressor and
degree of reaction.
Axial turbines: Axial turbine stage efficiency Centrifugal compressor: Centrifugal
compressor stage dynamics, inducer, impeller and diffuser.
Rocket propulsion: Thrust equation and specific impulse, vehicle acceleration,
drag, gravity losses, multi-staging of rockets. Classification of chemical rockets,
performance of solid and liquid propellant rockets.
Note: - No special topics.

About the study materials: -
It is important to mention that, topics covered here are purely GATE oriented. Anyone who is
preparing for GATE-Aerospace exam can use this material to understand the topics. Some of the
topics may be little out of GATE-Syllabus but as an aspirant for the exam it is important to
understand each and every corners of the topics. Hence these extra topics which are mentioned
here can be treated as supplementary reading.
Also it should be noted that this script is not complete voyage of the particular subject. Hence it
is always encouraged to refer as many text books as possible (make sure they are from standard
authors) to get deep understanding of the topics. Especially people who wants to join Research
programs in IITs and IISc or even after their M.Tech program, it is very essential to understand
fundamentals of the subject thoroughly. In this script fair effort is made to point out important
topics which are much more important when it comes to preparing for an interviews.
This script is made in such a way that, it will cover all necessary topics needed for the GATE-point
of view. Also important topics are given with color coding for easy and quick revisions of the
material at the last moments. But it is recommended to go through each and every lines of this
material if one wants to prepare the exam properly. Fairly enough number of problems were
solved to understand the topics very clearly. Note that, these problems included in the material
is to understand the approach of numerical problems and some of the problems look lengthy and
are not asked in GATE exams. Part of these kind of problems are asked in GATE exam. If you are
able to follow this material properly then you should be able to solve any numerical problem
asked in the GATE.
Finally it is highly encouraged to point out any mistakes that might have typed unknowingly in
this script. Also it would be helpful for next generation students if you have any suggestion
regarding improvements in the script. Or if you feel any topics to be covered in much more detail
or want to include some special topics that you think will be helpful for studying the subject, then
please feel free to suggest them.
Team IITian Gate classes will be there for you to support and help in understanding the any
particular topics that you may find difficult to understand. Hope this script will continuously fuel
your moto of learning and boost your energy level up with right thrust to your knowledge.
All the very best, and HAPPY LEARNING.
