9-117 A turbojet aircraft flying at an altitude of 9150 m is operating on the ideal jet propulsion cycle. The
velocity of exhaust gases, the propulsive power developed, and the rate of fuel consumption are to be
determined.
Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 The air standard assumptions are applicable. 3 Air is an
ideal gas with constant specific heats at room temperature. 4 Kinetic and potential energies are negligible,
except at the diffuser inlet and the nozzle exit. 5 The turbine work output is equal to the compressor work
input.
Properties The properties of air at room temperature are cp = 1.005 kJ/kg.K and k = 1.4 (Table A-2a).
Analysis (a) We assume the aircraft is stationary and the air is moving towards the aircraft at a velocity of
V 1 = 320 m/s. Ideally, the air will leave the diffuser with a negligible velocity (V 2 0).
