Note: Show your work completely with calculation steps, not just the result(s). Problems (25 points each) 1. An airplane flying at Mach 0.8 and 10 km altitude (speed of sound a = 230 m/s) has following uninstalled engine measurement: Air mass flow rate mo = 50 kg/s Fuel mass flow rate my= 2.55 kg/s Exhaust velocity Ve= 1250 m/s Calculate the uninstalled thrust F and the net power out of engine Wout. 2. The compressor of a gas turbine has 16 stages, ac = 30, ns = 0.92. Knowing that each stage has the same pressure ratio and air specific heat ratio is 1.4, find the polytropic efficiency ec, isentropic efficiency ne, and temperature ratio te of the compressor. Tc Po 3. A real convergent-divergent nozzle (Cn=0.975) which has an h-s diagram shown expands gas (constant cp = 0.257 Btu/lbm.R, gas constant R= 0.05 Btu/lbm.R) from 400 Psia/1,320 R. The temperature at throat is measured 600°F and diameter of the throat is 2”. Determine the mass flow (lbm/s) of the nozzle without considering friction loss. entrance pressure P = 58P throat pressure outlet pressure be - diagram for a convergent divergent no
