EXERCISE 2

A transport aircraft is powered by two-spool turbojets fitted with convergent nozzles and
the following features operating at sea level static conditions:
- Compressors pressure ratios 𝜋 5, 𝜋 6.
- Turbine inlet temperature 𝑇 1685 K.
- Thrust 𝐹 120000 N.

Using the figures of the table below, the following is requested:

1. Mass airflow 𝑚 and the fuel consumption 𝑚 .
Considering a flight Mach number 𝑀 0.85 at an altitude of 11000 m ISA, with 𝑇
1390 K and assuming the same turbine pressure ratios 𝜋 and 𝜋 of the operation at
sea level, find:
2. The specific fuel consumption 𝑐 , mass airflow 𝑚 and thrust 𝐹.
