Objective: Practice use of integral approach to conservation equations
1) A. Derive thrust equation for a turbojet engine and a rocket engine using control
volume approach. (refer class notes and ch#2 of text book)

B. Calculate the static thrusts of the rocket and turbojet engines described in the
figure. The thrust ‘T’ is the force necessary to prevent horizontal movement of the
engine. Both engines exhaust a mass flow of 40kg/s. The ratio of air to mass
flowing into the turbojet is 50:1, and in its exhaust plane the velocity is 500m/s and
the pressure is the same as ambient pressure. The rocket propellant exhausts at
velocity of 3000m/s through the area of 0.2m/s2.The pressure in the exhaust plane
of the rocket is 0.25MPa and the ambient pressure is 0.101MPa.

2) A strut of chord c is placed in an incompressible flow that is everywhere uniform


except for the illustrated effect of the strut. Velocity measurements at a certain plane
far downstream of the strut indicate the presence of a wake, as shown. The velocity
distribution across the wake is approximately a cosine function; that is,
u  2y  b b
 1  a 1  cos  for   y 
U  b  2 2
where U is the velocity of uniform flow field far from the strut and its wake. If the
measured values of a and b/c are 0.10 and 2.0, respectively, determine the drag
D
coefficient Cd of the strut. The drag coefficient is defined by C d  , where

3) An idealized supersonic ramjet diffuser consists of an axisymmetric center body located in a
cylindrical duct as shown in figure below. The flow at ‘station 1’ and ‘station 2’ is known and
may be assumed uniform at values indicated, and the stream tube that enters the inlet has a
diameter D far upstream. Determine the aerodynamic drag on the center body and strut.

4) Air enters compressor operating at steady state at a pressure of 1 bar, a temperature of 290K,
and a velocity of 6 m/s through an inlet with an area of 0.1 m2. At exit, the pressure is 7 bar,
the temperature is 450 K and the velocity is 2 m/s. Heat transfer from the compressor to the
surroundings occurs at the rate of 180 kJ/min. Employing the ideal gas model, calculate the
power input to the compressor. Take cp= 1.005 kJ/kgK.

5) In a gas turbine the gas enters at the rate of 5kg/s with a velocity of 50 m/s and enthalpy of
900 kJ/kg leaves the turbine with a velocity of 150 m/s and enthalpy of 400 kJ/kg. The loss of
heat from the gases to the surroundings is 25 kJ/kg. Assume for gas R= 0.285 kJ/kgK and cp =
1.004 kJ/kgK and inlet conditions to be at 100 kPa and 27°C. Determine the power output of
the turbine.

6) The air speed of a turbojet engine in flight is 270 m/s. Ambient air temperature is -15°C. Gas
temperature of outlet of nozzle is 600°C. Corresponding enthalpy values for air and gas are
respectively 260 and 912kJ/kg. Fuel-air ratio is 0.0190. Chemical energy of the fuel is 44.5
MJ/kg. Owing to incomplete combustion 5% of the chemical energy is not released in the
reaction. Heat loss from the engine is 21 kJ/kg of air. Calculate the velocity of the exhaust jet.
