For a turbojet, a high ߠ௧ ൌ ൗܶ gives a high thermodynamic efficiency ߟ௧ at any ௧ compression ratio ߨ . ܶ One can have a ௧ସൗܶ with very small pressure ratio in the cycle. This gives a Brayton ௧ cycle low efficiency. 2. The pressure ratio of the turbine does not change when the pilot changes the fuel/air ratio f. ߬௧ ൌ ቀ ళ ቁ ర మሺംషభሻ ംశభ True False √ √ is fixed by geometry (due to double choking of the flow). 3. If the throat area ܣof a turbojet decreases due to some obstruction, the compressor operating line moves closer to the stall line.

The bypass ratio ߙ of a turbofan engine is fixed by the geometry, and does not change with operating conditions. It does not vary with ߠ. 5.

The Euler equation is only valid for ideal, isentropic flow. It is a mechanical work balance, so it is not sensitive to non-idealities. 7. The stall line on a compressor map can be pre-determined by flow matching conditions even before the specific compressor has been selected. The working line is pre-determined, but the stall line depends on compressor details. 8. In a multi-stage turbine in which each stage has the same isentropic efficiency ߟ௦௧ , the overall turbine isentropic efficiency ߟ ் is greater than ߟ௦௧ . The inefficiency ͳ െ ߟ௦௧ of each stage means that extra heat is deposited in the flow by each stage, and the subsequent stages convert some of it to work by expansion. 1 √ √ √ 9. The nitrogen oxides produced in the primary zone of a jet engine burner are largely destroyed by the cooler secondary air that is injected downstream. The destruction reactions are very slow. 10. A quadrupole made up of four monopoles emits less acoustic power than would each of the monopoles separately. There are partial cancellations between positive and negative monopoles. √ √ PROBLEM 1 (30 points) The design of a certain turbofan engine is such that the turbine inlet temperature at takeoff on a standard day ሺܶͲ ൌ ʹͺͺܭǡ ܲͲ ൌ ͳܽ ݉ݐis ͳͷͲܭ, and the compressor-face Mach number is ܯଶ ൌ ͲǤͷǤ The compressor is designed to provide maximum thrust at that condition. A set of such engines provides the required thrust (including margin) for takeoff of a passenger jet plane. Consider now a “hot day” situation ሺܶ ൌ ͵Ͳͷܭǡ ܲ ൌ ͳܽ݉ݐሻ for the same plane, with the same load and at the same take-off Mach number.

Assume the wheel speed is as high as allowed by hoop stress limitations on the rim (assumed to be self-sustaining, namely, the blade centrifugal pull is compensated by the disk tension). The rim material is a Titanium alloy with ݎ working stress ߪ ൌ ൈ ͳͲ଼ ܲܽ, and density ߩ ൌ ͶͷͲͲ݇݃Ȁ݉ଷ . Take the blade ratio ுൗ ்ݎൌ ҧ ͲǤͺ, so that ݎൗ ݎு ൌ ͻȀͺ.

Values of ߚଵ that are too small will therefore lead to excessive blade losses, and possibly to stall. Choose the smallest ߚଵ that keeps ߜ ͳͷι. Let us consider three values of ߚଵ : zero, a medium value, and the maximum that still makes ߱ݎҧ െ ʹߚ ݓଵ Ͳ: It is clear that as ߚଵ increases (left to right), ߜ decreases. So, the smallest ߚଵ angles give the highest blade loading (most flow turning). 4 If ߜ is prescribed, what is ߚଵ ?
