A turbofan engine operating on an aircraft flying at 200 m/s at an altitude where the air is at 50 kPa and -20°C, is to produce 50,000 N of thrust. The inlet diameter of this engine is 2.5 m; the compressor pressure ratio is 12; and the mass flow rate ratio is 8. Determine the air temperature at the fan outlet needed to produce this thrust. Assume ideal operation for all components and constant specific heats at room temperature.
