Homework Assignment #5

1. Do problem #8 on page 211 of Hill and Peterson text.

2. Do problem #9 on pages 211-12 of Hill and Peterson text.

3. Do a preliminary design on a turbojet engine which produces 50,000 1bf of thrust.

Size constraints limit the intake cross-sectional capture area to 4 square feet. The engine
is intended to cruise at a Mach number of 2.5. Assume ambient air conditions are one
atmosphere of pressure and 500R. Indicate clearly your choice of fuel, temperature at
entrance to turbine, diffuser type, and extent of expansion in nozzle. Also indicate
whether you elect to have an afterburner. All choices must be rational and defensible, of
course. Indicate mass flows of air and fuel, mixture ratio(s), thrust specific fuel
consumption, exhaust velocity, work done by compressor, work done on turbine,
stagnation pressure ratios across each component, throat area, nozzle exit area, and
nozzle exit pressure.

4. Consider a turbofan engine flying at a Mach number of 0.8 with an ambient pressure of
one atmosphere and an ambient temperature of 500R. The intake has .98 polytropic
efficiency. The air is divided with a bypass ratio of 7 into a primary and a secondary (or
bypass) flow at the exit of the air intake. The primary flow passes through a fan and
compressor combination with a pressure ratio of 20 and polytropic efficiency of .98 while
the secondary flow passes through a fan with a pressure ratio of two and an efficiency of
.98. The primary flow is burned at constant pressure with liquid octane fuel with a final
combustor temperature of 2000oR and then expanded through a turbine and ultimately
through the primary nozzle to ambient pressure. The burner efficiency is .99 while the
polytropic efficiencies of the turbine and the nozzle are each .95. All the work taken
from the turbine flow is employed to drive the fan and the compressor. The secondary
flow expands isentropically to ambient pressure through a secondary nozzle. The
specific heat for air should be taken as .24 Btu/1bmR with .30 Btu/1bmR for products.
= 1.4 for air and 1.25 for products.

a) Calculate the stagnation pressure at the fan entrance.

b) Calculate the stagnation temperature of the secondary flow at the fan exit.
c) Calculate the stagnation temperature of the primary flow at the compressor exit.
d) Calculate the mass mixture ratio in the combustor.
e) What is the power per unit (primary) mass flow extracted from the turbine?
f) Determine the exhaust velocity of each of the two nozzles.
g) What is the specific fuel consumption?
5. Design a turbofan engine that cruises at a Mach number of 0.8 with an ambient temperature of
500R. It must produce 10,000 1bf of thrust. All of the thrust comes from the expansion of the
secondary flow; that is, the primary flow expands to ambient pressure through the turbine.
Give mass flows of fuel and two air streams, pressure ratios across each component, cross-
sectional areas of capture, nozzle throat, and nozzle exit.
