(20 points) A non-afterburning turbojet is being designed for operation at an altitude of 15km and a Mach number of 1.8. The maximum stagnation temperature at the inlet of the turbine is 1500K. The fuel is a jet fuel having a LHV of 43124kJ/kg and fst? is 0.06 . The following efficiencies apply at this Mach number: ?d?=0.9?c?=0.9??b?=0.98rb?=0.97??t?=0.92?n?=0.98? Use a gamma value of 1.4 up to the burner, and a value of 1.3 for the rest of the engine. Assume R is 0.287kJ/kgK throughout the engine. Plot the specific thrust, TSFC ,?th?,?p?, and ?o? as a function of rc?, the total pressure ratio across the compressor. Is there an optimum rc? that minimizes TSFC? Is there an optimum rc? that maximizes specific thrust? Consider a range of rc? from 2 to 60 . Assume the exhaust is ideally expanded. Also plot the nozzle area ratio as a function of rc?
