Question: Consider two versions of a jet engine. The first is a standard turbojet engine run with a turbine inlet stagnation temperature of 1 2 0

Consider two versions of a jet engine. The first is a standard turbojet engine run with a turbine inlet stagnation temperature of 1200 K . The second is identical, except that its turbine is cooled by bleeding air from the compressor; in this way the allowable turbine inlet stagnation temperature may be raised to 1600 K . To make an estimate of the effect of this modification on the thrust, suppose that the engine is flying at Mach 2 at an altitude where the ambient temperature is T0=200K and that the compressor stagnation pressure ratio is c=9.
Suppose also that for the second engine, 10% of the airflow is bled from the compressor at a point where the stagnation pressure ratio is 9. This bleed air is used to cool the turbine blades at a low speed, so that there is no appreciable velocity of this bleed air in the exhaust. For simplicity assume all components of both engines to be ideal. Let =1.4 and cp=1.0kJkg-K, and assume the heating value QR is equal to 45,000kJkg. Note here that in your analysis you could employ a simplification associated with QRT0cp.
a) Determine the thrust of the two engines per unit mass flow of air entering the compressor, i.e.,Tm0 with units (N*seckg).
