3. Consider an air-breathing jet engine which is flying at a velocity of 600 feet per second. For every \(\mathrm{lbm}/\mathrm{second}\) of air mass flow, a \(0.030\mathrm{lbm}/\mathrm{sec}\) mass flow of fuel is injected into the engine. The thrust force is 5000 lbf. ; the entrance pressure equals the ambient pressure at the altitude (0.5 atm ) and the exhaust pressure is 0.75 times the ambient atmospheric pressure. The incoming air temperature is \(525^{\circ}\mathrm{R}\). The entrance area and exhaust areas are both ten square feet. Determine:
(a) exhaust velocity
(b) specific fuel consumption
3 . Consider an air - breathing jet engine which
