3) Thrust reversers are often used to reduce an aircraft's landing distance. Consider a turbofan engine with a thrust reverser on the bypass airstream. Given that 600 kg/s of air at 300 K and 100 kPa enters the engine at a velocity of 150 m/s and that 500 kg/s of bypass air leaves the engine at 60 deg to the horizontal, velocity of 250 m/s, and a pressure of 100 kPa. The remaining 100 kg/s leaves the engine core at a velocity of 350 m/s and pressure of 100 kPa. Determine the force on the strut Fx. Assume the outside of the engine sees an ambient pressure of 100 kPa. Fx strut 60 deg fan 600 kg/s 150 m/s 100 kg/s 350 m/s 60 deg 500 kg/s 250 m/s core
