Turbofan thrust specific fuel consumption is $c_t = 0.55 \frac{lb}{(lbf \cdot hr)}$. The turbofan engine generates thrust of 44 kN. Calculate the fuel mass flow rate in kg/s.

Step 1
1 kN = 224.8089 lbf So, 44 kN = 44 * 224.8089 lbf = 9891.9596 lbf Show more…

'(c) An aircraft flies at 960 kmph One of its turbojet engines takes in 40 kg/s of air and expands the gases to the ambient pressure. The air-fuel ratio is 50 and the lower calorific value of the fuel is 43 MJ/kg: For maximum thrust power determine (i) jet velocity, (ii) specific thrust and (iii) thrust power_'

Referring to the turbojet in Problem $9.54$ and the modified turbojet in Problem 9.56, calculate the thrust developed by each engine, in $\mathrm{kN}$, if the mass flow rate of air is $50 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{s}$. Discuss.
