- (compressor pressure ratio)
- (compressor efficiency)
- (turbine pressure ratio)
- (fuel heating value)
- (combustion efficiency)
- (burner pressure ratio)
- (specific heat ratio in the turbine)

- (exit pressure equal to ambient pressure)
Tasks:
-
Calculate total pressure and temperature throughout the engine, fuel-to-air ratios and :
- You need to compute the pressure and temperature at each stage of the engine. This involves the isentropic relationships and efficiencies across the compressor, combustor, turbine, and afterburner.
-
Non-dimensional specific thrust :
- Specific thrust can be calculated using the momentum equation for jet engines.
-
Thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC):
- TSFC is given by the ratio of fuel consumption rate to thrust. In SI units, it's often expressed in .
-
Thermal and propulsive efficiencies and :
- Thermal efficiency relates to how efficiently the energy from fuel is converted into useful work.
- Propulsive efficiency relates to how effectively the jet converts this work into thrust.
Would you like me to begin with a step-by-step calculation for one of these parts or all together?
Here are some follow-up questions:
- Would you like to see the detailed equations for calculating pressures and temperatures across the engine?
- Should I go into more detail about how to compute fuel-to-air ratios and ?
- Do you want to understand how specific thrust is derived from jet engine principles?
- Should I explain the process to calculate TSFC for this specific afterburning turbojet?
- Would you like to focus on either the thermal or propulsive efficiency in more detail?
Tip: When solving these problems, always remember the role of isentropic relationships and efficiencies when moving through different engine components!
