A designer finds that because a new material has been discovered, she can increase the allowable turbine inlet temperature (i.e., that can be increased). She already has a turbojet design - say engine 1- and decides to redesign the engine to engine 2, so that engine 2 has the same air specific impulse Isp as engine 1(at the same flight Mach number).
1
a.) Show that the compressor stagnation temperature ratio of the new engine, c2, is related to c1,1,r, and 2 by the following:
(c2c1)=12{[(2-1)rc1+1+1(rc1)2]+
{:[(1-1(rc1)2)2+2-1(rc1)2{(2-1)-4+2(rc1+1rc1)}]12}
HINT: your solution will require use of the quadratic formula. Reason why you have chosen one particular sign to obtain the above solution.
b.) Given the conditions for engine 1 of =1.4,T0=222K,M0=2,QR=4.42107Jkg,cp=1005JkgK,1=7, and c1=20, calculate the air specific impulse and specific fuel consumption for engine 1.
c.) Given that 2=8, calculate c2 and the SFC for engine 2.
d.) Compare the thermal and propulsive efficiencies, th and p, respectively, of the two engines.
