Question 3
For a turbofan engine write down the mathematical expressions for
1. The thrust force
2. The overall efficiency
Prove that the maximum overall efficiency is given by
$\eta_{o,max} = \frac{(1 + \beta)u^2}{fQR}$
Question 4
Figure 2 illustrates a turbofan engine during testing in a test cell. It has the following
characteristics:
1. $\beta = 3$, $f = 2\%$, $V_2 = 3V_1$
2. $\dot{m}_a = 200kg/s$, thrust = 60kN.
a) Calculate: $m_1$, $m_2$ and $m_r$.
b) Evaluate $V_1$, $V_2$ if f is neglected.
c) Calculate the propulsive efficiency. What are your comments?
