    MEEN315-Homework Assignment #15-Extra Credit : A C V F

    Uploaded by

    Chandra Sekhar
    This document outlines a homework assignment to model the performance of a military turbojet engine using a Brayton cycle. Students are asked to: 1) Develop a Brayton cycle propulsion model to determine the thrust force, propulsion efficiency, and maximum speed of an F-16 aircraft cruising at 30,000 feet using given engine specifications and assumptions. 2) The model considers the mass flow rate, pressure ratio, turbine inlet temperature, compressor and turbine efficiencies, and negligible kinetic energy changes in the engine. 3) Thrust is determined from the mass flow rate and difference between exhaust velocity and aircraft velocity. Drag increases with the square of velocity based on given coefficients and frontal area.

    MEEN315-Homework Assignment #15-Extra Credit*

    Due: 9 Dec 2014 4PM (MEOB 412)


    Topic: Jet Propulsion Cycle
    Chapter(s): Chapter 9
    *Scoring for this homework will be: 2 pts per answer with supporting calculations; 3 pts per correct
    answer with supporting calculations. Extra credit points will be added to cumulative homework score.
    Introduction: In this problem will model the performance of a military turbojet (F-16C) using a non-ideal
    Brayton turbojet cycle (diffuser-compressor-combustor-turbine-nozzle). For our model we will use the
    following assumptions and approximate data from published information*: a) mass flow rate through engine of
    120 kg/s, b) pressure ratio 30:1, c) turbine inlet temperature of 1800 K, d) compressor and turbine efficiencies
    of 85%, e) negligible kinetic energy between diffuser outlet and nozzle inlet. We will model our performance
    for an aircraft cruising at maximum speed at an altitude of 30,000 ft (assume air conditions are 220 K and 25
    kPa). The drag force on the aircraft increases with the square of aircraft speed, and is given by:

    FD

    1
    V 2 CD Af
    2

    Where F is the drag force, is the density of the air, V is the aircraft velocity, CD is the dimensionless drag
    coefficient (0.021), and Af is the frontal area of the jet (assume 28 m2). Recall that thrust force is given by:
    .

    FT m Ve V

    Where FT is the thrust force, m-dot is the mass flow rate of air through the engine, and Ve is the exhaust nozzle
    velocity.

    Problem #1: Using the information given, develop a Brayton cycle propulsion model and determine: a) the
    thrust force, b) the propulsion efficiency, c) the maximum speed of the aircraft (m/s, no afterburner).
