    Jet Propulsion

    Cp= 1.005 kJ/kg K and ᵞ = 1.4 for compression process. Cp= 1.15 kJ/kg K and ᵞ = 1.333 for
    combustion and expansion process.

    1. A turbojet aircraft is flying at 800 km/h. Ambient temperature is -50 °C and pressure
    is 0.24 bar. The compressor pressure ratio is 10/1 and the maximum cycle temperature
    is 820 °C. Calculate thrust developed and the specific fuel consumption. Entry duct
    efficiency 0.9; isentropic efficiency of compressor 0.92, stagnation pressure loss in
    combustion chamber 0.14 bar. Fuel CV 43300 kJ/kg, combustion efficiency 0.98.
    turbine isentropic efficiency 0.92, mechanical efficiency of drive shaft is 0.98; jet
    pipe efficiency 0.92 ; Nozzle outlet area 0.08 m². Assume nozzle is convergent.
    Cp=1.005 kJ/kg K. γ =1.4 for air // Cp=1.15 kJ/kg K. γ =1.333 for exhaust
    2. A turboprop aircraft is flying at 650 km/h at an altitude where ambient temperature is
    -18°C. The compressor pressure ratio is 9/1 and the maximum cycle temperature is
    850 °C. Exhaust gas leave the aircraft at 650lm/h relative to the aircraft. The intake
    duct efficiency is 0.9 and the stagnation isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and
    the turbine are 0.89 and 0.93 respectively. Calculate the specific power output and the
    cycle efficiency taking a mechanical efficiency of 0.98.
    3. A thermometer inserted into a airstream lowing at 33.5 m/s records a temperature of
    15°C. Static pressure in the duct is found to be 1.01 bar. Assuming that the air round
    the thermometer bulb is brought to rest adiabatically, calculate:
    a. The true static temperature of the air
    b. The stagnation pressure of the air. ( Tstat= 14.44°C P0=1.017 bar)
    4. In a turboprop engine the compressor pressure ratio is 6/1 and the maximum cycle
    temperature is 760°C. The stagnation isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and the
    turbine are 0.85 and 0.88 respectively. The mechanical efficiency of the shaft is 0.99.
    The aircraft is travelling at 725 km/h at an altitude where the ambient temperature is
    -7°C. Taking an intake duct efficiency of 0.9, neglecting the pressure drop in the
    combustion chamber and assuming that the gases in the turbine expand down to the
    atmospheric pressure leaving the aircraft at 725 km/h relative to the aircraft, calculate
    a. The specific power output;
    b. The cycle efficiency
