DIFFUSER First, because the Mach number is given, M, = 3, and the ambient temperature is T, = 258.4 K(465.2°R), one can find the speed of sound a,: a= yA, = 322.2 mis (1057 ft/s) Thus, the ramjet velocity is Mya, = 3 x 322.2 mls = 967.1 m/s (3172 fs) ‘Next, for the stagnation temperature Tia, Ta _ yolie [1+ Sta], and so qT =aseax[1+ 1 S 3] = 723.9K (1303°R) ‘Thus, because the diffuser is adiabatic the total temperature at the diffuser To = Ta = 723.9K(1303°R). Also, for the stagnation pressure pu, and s0 pa = 57.1 kPa[1 + 113°] #1 = 2099 kPa (304.4psia). = - ‘Thus, because the diffuser, combustor, and nozzle are ideal, the stagnation pressure is constant through the entire engine: Pe = Pu = Po = 2099 kPa (304.4 psia). BURNER It is given that the burner exit total temperature is Tj = 1944 K(3500°R) and the heating value of the fuel is 46,520 kJ/kg. The specific heat at constant pressure is 1.005 kI/(kg-K) for y = 1.40. Thus, the fuel flow is given by the first law of thermodynamics: tic (Ta — Ta] AH 45.35% x 1.005, rag = x [1944 — 723.9] K =e ee 4652082 = 1.195 kg/s (2.636 Ibmis) or rag _ 1.195 f= Tha ey = 0.02636, which is small and consistent with the ideal assumption of negligible fuel flow rates . NOZZLE , For an ideal analysis, the total temperature is constant from the burner through the nozzle (adiabatic): Teg = 1944K (3500°R), Next, at the nozzle exit, because for the ideal case the exit pressure matches the ambient pressure, 7.1 kPa(8.29 psia), and from the definition of stagnation pressure, P= p= pe [1+ z ai] 3 thus, solving for the nozzle exit Mach number Ms yields which is identical to the inlet Mach number (as shown by Eq. 2.3.9) Therefore, the nozzle exit temperature is Tes 3500 [re esta] ~ [3.0005 and the nozzle exit gas velocity is us = Mgas = Mey RTs = 3.000 / 1.4 x 287.1 T= = 694.4K (1250°R), z = 15851/s(5199) fs. TOTAL THRUST AND TFC Finally, the ideal thrust does not have a pressure thrust component, and so 2 F = ri(ue— 44) = 45. sit (1585 — 967.1) 2S s kgm = 28,030N (6302 bf) Thus, the TSFC is vi, 1.195%8 x 36003 TSEC =F = 38. 030N kg Ibm rsec~ 019488 (15M). cans
