    This document contains homework problems for a mechanical engineering thermodynamics class. Homework 27 has two practice problems analyzing the performance of a turbojet engine. Problem 27-1 asks students to calculate engine performance metrics like exit velocity, thrust, heat transfer rate, and propulsive power and efficiency assuming 100% compressor and turbine efficiency. Problem 27-2 repeats the calculations assuming 85% compressor and turbine efficiency and asks students to compare the results. The document also lists preparatory reading questions on topics like Carnot engines, Stirling engines, and the Brayton cycle.

    ME 322 – Mechanical Engineering Thermodynamics

    Spring 2020

    HOMEWORK #27

    Practice Problem
    27-1 A turbojet engine propels an aircra2 at a speed of 535 miles per hour through s9ll air at 6.5
    psia, 9°F. The inlet diameter of the diffuser of the engine is 5.25 2. The pressure ra9o of the engine
    is 13 and the temperature at the turbine inlet is 1035°F. Air leaves the nozzle of the engine at 6.5
    psia. Analyze engine performance with 100% compressor and turbine isentropic efficiency. Analyze
    this engine using the real-fluid proper9es of air (fluid name = ‘air_ha’). Calculate the following:
    (a) The velocity at the exit of the nozzle (mph)
    (b) The propulsive force (thrust) of the engine (lbf)
    (c) The heat transfer rate required at the combus9on chamber (Btu/hr)
    (d) The propulsive power of the engine (hp)
    (e) The propulsive efficiency of the engine

    27-2 Repeat the above problem for a turbine and compressor isentropic efficiency of 85%.
    (a) Compare your answers to the ideal case above.
    (b) Does the propulsive efficiency make sense, and why/why not?

    Preparatory Reading Questions (not turned in)


    1. Sketch the opera9on of an air standard Carnot engine on Ts and Pv diagrams. Using
    thermodynamic vocabulary, rigorously describe each process in the Carnot gas engine cycle.


    2. What device is used in a S9rling engine to approach Carnot cycle efficiency?


    3. Sketch the opera9on of an air standard Brayton cycle on Ts and Pv diagrams. Use a SOLID LINE
    to express ideal opera9on. Use a DASHED LINE to express real opera9on that includes
    compressor inefficiency, turbine inefficiency, and combus9on chamber pressure drop.


    4. In a Brayton cycle, what is meant by pressure ra9o? Express the thermal efficiency of a cold air
    standard Brayton cycle in terms of the pressure ra9o. Define all parameters in this expression.

    Homework is due at the beginning of the next class period, unless specified otherwise
    on the course website. Homework not handed in at the beginning of the class period is
    late and will not be graded.
