    This document is a mid-term examination for an Aerospace Engineering course on Aerospace Propulsion. It contains 5 questions: 1. Describe different jet engine types including turbofan, turbojet, turboprop, and turboshaft engines and explain the working differences between them. 2. Explain what thrust is and whether a high velocity jet of small mass flow or velocity of jet of high mass flow is desired for thrust, justifying the answer. 3. Calculate the percentage increase in cycle efficiency due to regeneration for a Brayton cycle operating with a regenerator, given inlet air conditions, pressure ratio, maximum cycle temperature, compressor and turbine efficiencies. 4. Derive

    Mid-Term Examinations, April 2021


    Programme : B.Tech – Aerospace Engineering Semester : Winter 2020-2021
    Course : Aerospace Propulsion Code : ASE2006
    Faculty : Dr. Prashant GK Slot/Class No. : E11+E12+E13/0482
    Time : 1½ hours Max. Marks : 50

    Answer all the Questions

    Q. No. Question Description Marks

    1 Describe a jet engine. Elucidate the working difference between a turbofan, turbojet, 10
    turboprop and turboshaft engine.

    2 What do you understand by thrust? What is desired for a thrust:- High velocity jet of small 10
    mass flow or Velocity of jet of high mass flow? Justify with valid reasons.

    3 A Brayton cycle operates with a regenerator of 75% effectiveness. The air at the inlet to the 10
    compressor is at 0.1 Mpa and 30 degree C, the pressure ratio is 6.0 and the maximum cycle
    temperature is 900 degree C. If the compressor and the turbine have efficiencies of 80% each,
    find the percentage increase in the cycle efficiency due to regeneration.

    4 Derive the efficiency of a turbine. Draw suitable diagram and derive the same. 10
    5 Illustrate with a neat diagram the sections of a ramjet and a scramjet engine. Give brief note 10
    about each section.
