A Turbojet-engined aircraft flies at 350m/s at an altitude of
9000 m. The pressure at this height is 30 kPa and the temperature
is-32⁰ C. The pressure ratio of the compressor is 12, the turbine
input temperature is 1400 K. Air enters the compressor with a flow
of 60 kg/s and the heat value of the fuel is 42 700 kJ/kg.
Admitting that adiabatic efficiency of compressor, turbine and Lule
is 100% and specific temperatures are constant at room
temperature,
a) The speed at which the combustion end gases exit the
engine,
b) Reaction force,
c) Calculate the amount of fuel consumed in Unit time. (k=1.4
Cp=1.005 kj/kgK )
