Part - A (10 X 2 20 Marks) Answer The Following Questions

This document contains exam questions for a Propulsion-II course. It covers topics like specific impulse, scramjet engines, rocket propulsion, and igniters. The exam has three parts - short answer questions worth 2 marks each (Part A), longer answer questions worth 13 marks each (Part B), and an even longer question worth 15 marks (Part C). Some example questions are on the principle of chemical rockets, types of igniters, deriving rocket velocity equations, scramjet injectors and flame holders, and ramjet and scramjet working principles. The document provides guidance to students on the scope and requirements of the propulsion exam.
