Question: Problem 2 : You are designing a turbojet engine with an afterburner. The inlet and compressor have 0 - 3 = 1 . 4 ,

Problem 2: You are designing a turbojet engine with an afterburner. The inlet and compressor
have 0-3=1.4,cp,0-3=1000(J)(kg)*(K), and the turbine, afterburner and nozzle have 4-9=
1.3,cp,4-9=1150(J)(kg)*(K). The engine is travelling at V0=550ms, with the ambient conditions
being p0=1atm,T0=290K.Tt4=1850K and Tt7=2200K. The inlet and compressor
adiabatic thermal efficiencies are d=0.92 and c=0.88. The burner pressure ratio and
efficiency are b=0.98 and b=0.99. The fuel's heating value in both the burner and
afterburner is QR=QR,AB=41000kJkg. The turbine has a polytropic efficiency et=0.93 and
a mechanical efficiency m=0.92. The afterburner has a pressure ratio AB=0.97 and thermal
efficiency AB=0.95. The nozzle is perfectly expanded and has thermal efficiency n=0.94.
a) Using the ideal jet with afterburner result, find the compressor pressure ratio which
maximizes specific thrust. Be careful with the thermal limit parameters.
b) Using the compressor pressure ratio from problem 1(p3/p2)=25, drop the ideal jet assumption and
calculate the specific thrust and thermal efficiency of the actual jet.
