Problem 1: Rocket Trajectory • Write a computer code to predict flight of the V-2 rocket. • Rocket info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket • Drag (and lift) profile, next slide • Constant thrust, constant exhaust speed • Comment on all results • Assumptions • 1 DOF vertical (no lift) • Constant gravity (then make gravity a function of altitude) • Use the standard atmosphere under standard day conditions • List all other assumptions you make (CG, CP, Iij, etc.) • Extra credit • Add a thrust profile (throttle) and variable exit velocity • 2 DOF flight (launch angles of 90, 80, 70 and 45 degrees) • Zero angle of attack (zero lift) • Then include angle of attack as calculated as the angle between the rocket centerline (long axis) and the velocity vector • Add a wind profile • Multi-DOF simulation (gets complicated!) • Integrate your code with predictions from NASA CEA (we will see this in 2 weeks)

Brayton Cycle • Identify a modern commercial or military jet engine (turbofan or turbojet) • Plot the Brayton cycle • P-v diagram • T-s (or h-s) diagram • Identify relevant parameters • Comment on all results • Assumptions • Isentropic compression and expansion • Constant gas properties and specific heats • Non-constant gas properties (look these up in NIST or calculate on your own) • Mix of air and kerosene (or any other jet fuel you like, such as JET-A or even RP-1) • Show cycle for compressor and turbine efficiencies of 100, 90 and 80%
