Problem C:
Following that first initial study, you decide to gain some more insight, by looking at one of
aviations classic engine: the Rolls-Royce Olympus, used in the Concorde. This was one of the
first two-spool engines ever designed, a big achievement, but what matters here is that the flow
also had to be slowed down before reaching the main engine, and thats what you care about.
At its main cruise design point, the plane traveled at Mach 2.2 at 20km altitude. Its intake clever
design dropped the speed to Mach 1.3 isentropically (see Problem B, above...). Then, the flow
passed through a normal shock, and expanded through an isentropic diffuser, before entering the
compressor at Mach 0.4.
Determine:
a) The state of the flow downstream of the normal shock.
b) The total pressure and total temperature of the flow as it enters the engine.
c) The static pressure and static temperature of the flow as it enters the engine.
d) Compare to the outside static and stagnation pressure and temperature of the flow, before
reaching the planeProblem C:
