12) A turbojet engine inducts 50 kg of air per second and propels an aircraft with a
flight speed of 900 km/h. The fuel-to-air ratio is 0.012 and the heating value of the
fuel is 43 MJ/kg. The enthalpy change for the nozzle is 211.25 kJ/kg.
Determine:
a) The propulsive efficiency
b) The thermal efficiency
c) TSFC
d) The propulsive power

a) The propulsive efficiency

b) The thermal efficiency

c) Thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC)

 d) The propulsive power

6.28) A double-spool turbofan engine; Fig. P6.28, is used to power an aircraft flying at
speed of 250 m/s at an altitude of 11,000 m. As shown in the figure below, the low-
pressure turbine drives the fan and low-pressure compressor, while the high-pressure
turbine drives the high-pressure compressor. The engine has the following data:
- Bypass ratio=8.
- Total ingested air flow rate=180 kg/s.
- Overall pressure ratio OPR=35.
- Fan pressure ratio=1.6.
- Pressure ratio of high-pressure compressor is four times that of the low-pressure
- compressor; πHPC=4πLPC.
- Turbine inlet temperature=1650 K.
- Fuel heating value=43 MJ/kg.
Assuming all processes are ideal and neglecting any pressure drop, it’s required to:
a) Find the thrust, TSFC, and efficiencies of the engine
b) Plot the velocity and temperature distribution over the engine cross section (rear
end)
At the altitude of 11000 m:

For compression:

Velocity at exit of nozzle:

Mass flow rate of bypass air:

Thrust available due to bypass air:

In compressor:
Applying energy balance on combustion chamber we get:
For HP turbine driving the HP compressor the work output from HP turbine may be
equated to work required in HP compressor.

LP turbine is used for driving fan so, output of LP turbine goes for driving fan

Velocity of hot gases at exit of nozzle:

Thrust due to hot gases

Total thrust = thrust due to bypass air + thrust due to hot gases
