Question: 7 . 2 1 : A three - spool pusher - type propfan, or unducted fan engine ( UDF ) is fitted to an aircraft

7.21: A three-spool pusher-type propfan, or unducted fan engine (UDF) is fitted to an aircraft flying at a speed of 200 m/s and altitude of 6 km (Ta=249.2 K and Pa=47.182 kPa)(Fig.7.27). The engine is composed of three spools: intermediate-pressure spool composed of an intermediate-pressure compressor driven by an intermediate-pressure turbine, a high-pressure compressor driven by a high-pressure turbine, and the unducted fan (resembling a low-pressure compressor) driven by a low-pressure turbine. The maximum temperature is 1400 K, and fuel having a heating value of 40,000 kJ/kg is used. It has the following particulars:
1. The bypass ratio
2. The ratio between thrust force generated by unducted fan and nozzle
3. The total equivalent horsepower
4. The propulsive efficiency Fig. 7.34b Control volume for hovering helicopter
