Question
2. Add an afterburner to the above situation. The maximum stagnation temperature
downstream of the afterburner is 2000 K. The afterburner combustion efficiency nab
is 0.95 and the total pressure ratio is rab is 0.97. All other efficiencies remain the
same. Use a gamma value of 1.4 up to the primary 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, nth, np and no as a function of rc, the total pressure ratio across the
compressor. 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 rc. Comment on the
changes that occur due to the addition of the afterburner (i.e. compare the plots to
that of problem 1). Note that the overall fuel-to-air ratio can not exceed the
stoichiometric value (f+fab<fst).
