Question: Note that a turbojet engine produces forward thrust when operating in a normal man - ner, but it can produce reverse thrust if the exhaust
Note that a turbojet engine produces forward thrust when operating in a normal man
ner, but it can produce reverse thrust if the exhaust jet is deflected by a "thrust
reverser", which is used in particular when the aircraft is landing. Suppose that while
the aircraft rolls down the runway at a speed of the idling engine consumes
air at and produces an exhaust velocity of The inlet and exhaust
pressures are the same, and in this problem one can neglect the mass flow rate of fuel.
a What is the forward thrust of this engine during standard operation while landing,
without any thrust reverser?
b What are the magnitude and direction ie forward or reverse, in the positive or
negative direction, respectively of the net thrust if the flow from the exhaust
is deflected by without affecting the mass flow? A common geometry for a
thrust reverser to achieve this is shown in the sketch below. In this problem, the
stated deflection would correspond to the angle in the sketch.
c What are the magnitude and direction of the thrust forward or reverse after
the plane has come to a stop, with the thrust reverser operating such that
and with an inlet airflow rate of
