EXERCISE 1

Boeing 707 was an airliner of the end of the 50’s, powered by 4 Pratt & Whitney JT3C-
7 turbojets with the following features operating at sea level static conditions:
- Overall pressure ratio 𝜋 12.
- Turbine inlet temperature 𝑇 1143 K.
- Thrust 𝐹 52000 N.

Using the (assumed) figures of the table below, the following is requested:
1. Mass airflow 𝑚 and the fuel consumption 𝑚 .
Considering a flight Mach number 𝑀 0.86 at an altitude of 11000 m ISA, and
assuming the same compressor pressure ratio 𝜋 and turbine pressure ratio 𝜋 of the
operation at sea level, find:
2. The final combustion temperature 𝑇 and the specific fuel consumption.

Efficiencies:
