b) i) From Tc=CT/J2 = 0.165. Then using

√

b=2 a=−1± 1+ T c
π
b = 0.192. So the inflow factor a = b/2 = 0.096

Slipstream velocity = 1.192*90 = 107.3m/s

iii) T =ρn D CT =1 .225×43 . 06 ×1 .9 ×0 . 2=5 . 92 kN
iv) Thrust Power = TV = 533kW
v) Area = πd2/4 = 2.835m2 P=T/A = 2.09kPa

c) Percentage contraction of streamtube area at disk is 9.6% and in fully developed

streamtube is 19.2%

a) Froude efficiency
1
η F=
1+a = 91.2%

b) Power expended on air = Thrust power/Froude efficiency = 533/0.912 = 583kW

Shaft power (from propulsive efficiency) = Thrust power/propulsive efficiency = 533/0.85

= 627kW
Additional losses = 627 – 583 = 44kW

d) Length of stroke, l = 100mm = 0.1m

Diameter = 140mm → Area = π x (70 x 10-3)2 = 0.0154m2
Number of pistons, N = 6 → K = N/2 = 3
Compression ratio, r = 7
Swept volume ΔV = lAN = 0.00924 m3
→ Total volume V = ΔV/(1-1/r) = 0.0108m3
Engine speed, n = 2400rpm = 40 rps → k = n/2 = 20 rps
T = 293K
Rair = 0.287kJkg-1K-1
