    LEARNING OUTCOMES\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The learning outcomes upon successful completion of the course are the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Learning: The students comprehend the basic principles of compressible flow and can apply them to design and analysis of ducts, nozzles, airfoils and other supersonic flow systems.<\/li>\n
    • Skills: The students gain experience in solving compressible flow problems, they become familiar with using existing software for design and analysis of supersonic flow systems, and they can develop their own analysis tool for supersonic airfoils.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11551,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"msc_category":[],"courses_cat":[1694,1697],"class_list":["post-35503","courses","type-courses","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","courses_cat-aeronautics-engineering-8th-semester-compulsory","courses_cat-division-of-energy-aeronautics-enviroment-8th-sepester-optional"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCompressible Flow - MEAD<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/mead.upatras.gr\/en\/courses\/compressible-flow\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Compressible Flow - MEAD\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"COURSE CONTENT\u00a0 Basic principles of thermodynamics.
