    Q.1. An airbreathing engine has a flight Mach number of M0 = 0.8 at an altitude where the speed
    of sound is 300 m/s. The air mass flow rate into the engine is 60 kg/s. Calculate the ram drag (in
    kN) for this engine.

    Q.2. An airbreathing engine (jet engine) flies at Mach M0 = 2.0 at an altitude where the ambient
    temperature is T0 = −50◦C and ambient pressure is p0 = 10 kPa. The airflow rate to the engine is
    25 kg/s. The fuel flow rate is 3% of airflow rate and has a heating value of 42,800 kJ/kg.
    Assuming the exhaust speed is V9 = 1050 m/s, and the nozzle is perfectly expanded, i.e., p9 =
    p0, calculate

    (a) ram drag in kN


    (b) gross thrust in kN
    (c) net (uninstalled) thrust in kN
    (d) thrust-specific fuel consumption in kg/h/N
    (e) engine thermal efficiency 𝜂th
    (f) propulsive efficiency 𝜂p
    (g) engine overall efficiency 𝜂o

    Q.3. A ramjet is flying at Mach 2.0 at an altitude where T0 = − 50◦C and the engine airflow rate
    is 10 kg/s. If the exhaust Mach number of the ramjet is equal to the flight Mach number, i.e., M9
    = M0, with perfectly expanded nozzle and Tt9 2500 K, calculate

    (a) the engine ram drag Dram in kN


    (b) the nozzle gross thrust Fg in Kn
    (c) the engine net thrust Fn in kN
    (d) the engine propulsive efficiency 𝜂p
    Assume gas properties remain the same throughout the engine, i.e., assume 𝛾 = 1.4 and cp =
    1004 J/kg ⋅ K. Also, assume that the fuel flow rate is 4% of airflow rate.

    Q.4. For the turbofan engine with given conditions


    p0 = 10 kPa M0 = 0.85 ,a0 = 300 m/s 0 = 1.4, cp0 = 1004 J/kg.K
    p19 = 15 kPa M19 = 1.5 ,a19 = 310 m/s 19 = 1.4, cp19 = 1004 J/kg.K m19 65 kg/s
    p9 = 15 kPa M9 = 1.5 ,a9 = 450 m/s 9 = 1.33, cp9 = 1157 J/kg.K m9 10 kg/s

    nozzle is perfectly expanded. Calculate (a) the rocket thrust in kN (b) the rocket motor specific
    impulse Is (s).

    Q.6 A turboprop engine flies at V0 = 200 m/s and pro duces a propeller thrust of Fprop = 40 kN
    and a core thrust of Fcore = 10 kN. Engine propulsive efficiency 𝜂p is 85%. Calculate
    (a) total thrust produced by the turboprop in Kn
    (b) thrust power in MW
    (c) shaft power produced by the engine ℘s in MW

    a propulsive efficiency of 𝜂p = 0.40, estimate the turbojet exhaust speed V9 in m/s. Also
    calculate the specific impulse in seconds. Also, assuming the fuel heating value is 42,000 kJ/kg
    and the thermal efficiency is 45%, estimate the fuel-to air ratio consumed in the burner.

    Q.8. A turbojet engine is in cruise condition. The flight condition is known to be: M0 = 2.0, p0 =
    20 kPa, T0 = −35◦C with 𝛾 = 1.4 and = 2 kg. . The air mass flow rate into the engine is
    known to be 0 = 110 kg s. The fuel flow rate to the combustor is f = 4.2 kg s with heating

    un-installed thrust in kN (d) TSFC in mg/s/N and lbm/hr/lbf (e) Engine thermal efficiency, 𝜂th
