1
Q

what is isentropic

A

constant entropy, -. pressure temperature ratio stays the same

2
Q

what is isobar?

A

constant pressure

3
Q

what are key differences in the real and ideal joule cycles

A

real: entropy always increases
- temp increases to higher at point 3
- same curve on 3->4

4
Q

what are assumptions for the real joule cycle? (3)

A
  • inviscid flow
  • ideal gas everywhere
  • complete expansion in nozzle
5
Q

what is a total pressure ratio?

A

pi

total pressure,out/total pressure,in

6
Q

are pi and tau relations of static or total pressure and temp

A

total

7
Q

what values are dimensionless total temp are pressure referenced to

A

static temp and pressure outside free stream. (position zero)

8
Q

what does specific trust depend on for

A
  • flight mach number
  • temp rise (or pressure) rise in compressor -> cycle efficiency
  • turbine entry temp -> energy addition in cycle
9
Q

what does specific trust depend on for turbijet

A
  • flight mach number
  • temp rise (or pressure) rise in compressor -> cycle efficiency
  • turbine entry temp -> energy addition in cycle
10
Q

what is a trend that has resulted in turbojet engines from the results of the three specific thrust equation dependencies

A

higher material and cooling costs for the turbine allow higher turbine entry temps

11
Q

what is the conditions for maximum specific thrust of a turbojet

A

for a specific turbine entry temperature and flight mach number there is a given compression ratio to maximize static thrust

12
Q

what is the conditions for maximum specific thrust of a turbojet

A

for a specific turbine entry temperature and flight mach number there is a given compression ratio to maximize static thrust

13
Q

what is the condition for the maximum specific impulse of a turbojet engine?

A

no condition , no maximum

14
Q

what are (5) sources of losses in real cycles

A
  • friction losses in flow
  • incomplete expansion
  • incomplete combustion
  • gas constants change (eg heat capacity ratio)
  • bleed air
15
Q

what is the inconsistant ratio of heat capacities lead to nonideal

A

cp varies a lot with heat. cv as well but not as much. leads to varying kappa

16
Q

what happens in the boundary layer that leads to losses from viscous flow?

A

no slip condition at wall -> in boundary layer there is flow losses and total pressure loss

17
Q

where can frictional losses come from?

A
  • boundary layer

- shocks (supersonic)

18
Q

how do frictional losses affect S-T diagram

A

“isotropic” rxns actually increase entropy with temperature change.

19
Q

where do losses come from in the burner?

A
  • incomplete combustion (normally 95-99%)

- viscous losses (strong because of mixing) (represented by the pressure ratio (pi b)

20
Q

where do losses in the nozzle come from

A
  • viscous effect of flow moving over outlet

- expansion such that pressure does not equal outside pressure

21
Q

what direction does the air go in over, under and ideal expanded flow? Where are the shocks

A

under - out from nozle
over - in from nozzle
ideal - straight out

22
Q

where can bleed air go?

A
  • turbine cooling
  • anti-icing
  • aircon systme
23
Q

what is the effect of bleed air on the cycle?

A

very detrimental

24
Q

what amount of core mass flow is bleed?

A

15-25%

25
Q

what type of nozzle is necessary at the different mach number levels of turbojets

A

ma < 1 convergent sufficient
ma > 1 increasing influence of losses to thrust
ma > 1.25 convergent-divergent nozzle necessary

26
Q

how does the importance of equal jet velocities and component losses vary with increasing bypass ratios in turbofan engines

A

increasing bypass ratio gives:
decreased importance of equal jet velocities
increased importance of component efficiencies
