A pure jet engine propels an aircraft at 520 mph at an altitude where the pressure and temperature
are 3.5 psia and -46 °F, respectively. The compressor pressure ratio is 12.4 and the mass flow rate at
the engine inlet is 70 lbm/sec. Operational considerations dictate that the maximum temperature of
the working fluid entering the turbine be restricted to 1800 °F. Use cold air-standard
assumptions. Calculate the
a) Velocity of gas flow at the nozzle exit
b) Thrust produced by the engine (lbf)
c) Propulsive efficiency of the cycle
