Understand a function of flow engines, particularly axial-flow and centrifugal flow compressor and axial-flow turbine and this both from the point of view of internal aero-thermodynamics and also from the point of view of operational characteristics. Understand function of combustion chamber, formation of the air-fuel mixture, combustion and its operational characteristics. Get up design thermal and construction schemes of turbojet engines, their thermal cycles for given design flight operation mode, realize a layout of the air and combustion products passage of the turbojet engine on the main flow streamline and calculate its operational characteristics.
