Mechanical Engineering

Air enters the diffuser of a turbojet engine at 18 kPa, 216 K,with a volumetric flow rate of 230 m3/s and a velocityof 265 m/s. The compressor pressure ratio is 15, and its isentropicefficiency is 87%. Air enters the turbine at 1560 K and the samepressure as at the exit of the compressor. The turbine isentropicefficiency is 89%, and the nozzle isentropic efficiency is 97%. Thepressure at the nozzle exit is 18 kPa. Use an air-standardanalysis.

a)
