Question: 6 . 3 1 : A double - spool turbofan engine; Fig. ( 6 . 6 6 ) , is used to power an aircraft

6.31: A double-spool turbofan engine; Fig. (6.66), is used to power an aircraft flying at speed of 250 m/s at an altitude of 11,000 m. As shown in the figure below, the low-pressure turbine drives the fan and low-pressure compressor, while the high-pressure turbine drives the high-pressure compressor. The engine has the following data:
Bypass ratio =8.
Total ingested air flow rate =180 kg/s.
Overall pressure ratio OPR =35.
Fan pressure ratio =1.6.
Pressure ratio of high-pressure compressor is four times that of the low-pressure compressor; HPC=4 LPC.
Turbine inlet temperature =1650 K.
Fuel heating value =43 MJ/kg.
Assuming all processes are ideal and neglecting any pressure drop, its required to:
1. Find the thrust, TSFC, and efficiencies of the engine
2. Plot the velocity and temperature distribution over the engine cross section
