• Problem
  No. 14: A turbojet aircraft is flying at 800km/h at 10700 m. where the
pressure and temperature of atmosphere are 0.24bar and -50 respectively. The
compressor pressure ratio is 10/1 and the maximum cycle temperature is 820.
Calculate the thrust developed and specific fuel consumption using the following
information. Entry duct efficiency is 0.9, isentropic efficiency of compressor is
0.9. Stagnation pressure loss in the combustion chamber is 0.14 bar. Calorific
value of fuel is 43300 kJ/kg. Combustion efficiency is 98%. Isentropic efficiency
of turbine is 92%. Mechanical efficiency of drive is 98%. Jet pipe efficiency is
92%. Nozzle outlet area is 0.08m2.Assume nozzle is convergent, take

Problem sheet
•  Problem No. 15:A turboprop air craft is flying at 650 km/h at an
altitude where the ambient temperature is -80. The compressor
pressure ratio is 9 to 1 and maximum cycle temperature is 850. The
intake duct efficiency is 90% and stagnation isentropic efficiencyof
compressor and turbine are 89% and 93% respectively. Calculate the
specific power output and cycle efficiency taking mechanical
efficiency of 98%. Neglecting pressure losses in combustion chamber
and assuming exhaust gas leave the aircraft at 650 km/h relative to the
aircraft.
