Problem 2. The jet engine on a plane flying at 160 m/s in still air draws in air at standard
atmospheric temperature and pressure through a 0.5-m-diameter inlet. If 2 kg/s of fuel is
added and the mixture leaves the 0.3-m-diameter nozzle at 600 m/s, measured relative to
the engine, determine the thrust provided by the engine.
160 m/s
A launch vehicle has 6 engines operating in parallel which are fed from the same propellant tank.
Initially, each engine has an equivalent exhaust velocity of 3500 m/s and consumes 400 kilograms of
propellant per second.
One of the engines malfunctions and consequently operates at 50% thrust and 120% propellant
consumption. Calculate the equivalent exhaust velocity in m/s of all engines if treated as a single
engine, including the malfunctioning engine in your calculation.
Air enters the engine of the aircraft with a mass flow rate of 48 kg/sec and with a speed of 270 m/sec. The air leaves the aircraft engine with a speed of 1150 m/sec. Determine the force (thrust) supplied to the engine?

- Principle of Linear Impulse and Momentum for a System of Particles To apply the principle of linear impulse and momentum to a system of particles. Integrating the equation of motion, as applied to all particles in a system, yields ∑mi(vi)1+∑∫t2t1Fidt=∑mi(vi)2 where mi is the ith particle's mass, vi is the ith particle's velocity, and Fi is the external force that acts on the ith particle. This relationship states that the sum of the initial linear momenta, at time t1, and the impulses of all the external forces acting between times t1 and t2 is equal to the sum of the linear momenta of the system, at time t2. If the system has a mass center, G, the expression becomes m(vG)1+∑∫t2t1Fidt=m(vG)2 This expression allows the principle of linear impulse and momentum to be applied to a system of particles that is represented as a single particle.
