Part 1: jet engine data analysisAttend the week 6 practical and record the raw data with unitsReview Lecture 12 (jet engine performance analysis) and the gas turbine cycle lecturesState the cycle assumptions (ideal gas, cp values, component efficiencies)Present processed data in tables and plots with units and uncertaintyCompare measured performance with the ideal cycle and explain the differences

Part 2: heat transfer designAttend the week 8 practicalReview the heat transfer lectures (weeks 7-10) as they are releasedState the design requirement and constraintsShow the calculation method with every assumption justifiedCheck the design with a second method or a limiting case
