Propulsion A Assignment

The document contains multiple problems related to turbojet engine performance calculations. The problems provide engine specifications and operating conditions and ask to calculate various performance parameters like specific thrust, thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC), jet velocity, thermal efficiency, pressure ratios, temperatures, mass flow rates, nozzle areas, thrust, and efficiencies. The problems require applying principles of gas dynamics, thermodynamics, and turbojet engine cycle analysis to solve for the unknown parameters.

A Boeing 747 civil transport airplane is fitted with four high-BPR turbofan engines
similar to CF6-50C turbofan engines. Each engine has the following data:
Thrust force 24.0 kN
Air flow rate Ma 125 kg/s
BPR 5.0
Fuel mass flaw rate mf 0.75 kg/s
Operating Mach number 0.8
Altitude 10 km Ambient temperature Ta 223.2 K
Ambient pressure Pa 26.4 kPa
Fuel heating value Q 42,000 kJ/kg

If the thrust generated from the fan is 75% of the total thrust, determine

2. The TSFC
3. The jet velocity of the hot gases

and an altitude of 11 km (Ta = 216.7 K and Pa = 22.632 kPa). The turbojet engine has

.A naval aircraft is powered by a turbojet engine, with provision for flap blowing. When
landing at 55 m/s, 15 per cent of the compressor delivery air is bled off for flap blowing and
it can be assumed to be discharged perpendicularly to the direction of flight. If a propelling
nozzle area of 0-13 m2 is used, calculate the net thrust during landing given that the engine
operating conditions are as follows
 Compressor pressure ratio 9.0
 Compressor isentropic efficiency 0.82
 Turbine inlet temperature 1275K
 Turbine isentropic efficiency 0.87
 Combustion pressure loss 0.45bar
 Nozzle isentropic efficiency 0.95
 Mechanical efficiency 0.98

temperature at the turbine inlet is 1400 K. Air enters the compressor at a rate of 45 kg/s, and
the jet fuel has a heating value of 42,700 kJ/kg. Assuming ideal operation for all components
and constant specific heats for air at room temperature, determine:
(a) The temperature and pressure at the turbine exit
(b) The velocity of the exhaust gases
(c) The propulsive power developed
