A turboprop aircraft propulsion engine operates where the air is at 8 psia and −10°F, on an aircraft flying at a speed of 600 ft/s. The Brayton cycle pressure ratio is 10, and the air temperature at the turbine inlet is 940°F. The propeller diameter is 10 ft and the mass flow rate through the propeller is 20 times that through the compressor. Determine the thrust force generated by this propulsion system. Assume ideal operation for all components and constant specific heats at room temperature.
