Question
1. A non-afterburning turbojet is being designed for operation at an altitude of 15 km
and a Mach number of 1.8. The maximum stagnation temperature at the inlet of the
turbine is 1500 K. The fuel is a jet fuel having a LHV of 43124 kJ/kg and fst is 0.06.
The following efficiencies apply at this Mach number:
nd = 0.9
nc = 0.9
nb = 0.98
rb = 0.97
nt = 0.92
Vn = 0.98
Use a gamma value of 1.4 up to the burner, and a value of 1.3 for the rest of the
engine. Assume R is 0.287 kJ/kgK throughout the engine. Plot the specific thrust,
TSFC, th, np and no as a function of rc, the total pressure ratio across the
compressor. Is there an optimum rc that minimizes TSFC? Is there an optimum rc
that maximizes specific thrust? Consider a range of rc from 2 to 60. Assume the
exhaust is ideally expanded. Also plot the nozzle area ratio as a function of r.
