98 BRAYTON CYCLE: an example
911 IDEAL JET-PROPULSION CYCLES
In the ideal case, the turbine work is assumed to equal the compressor work (back work
ratio=1 or 100%).
Also, the processes in the diffuser, the compressor, the turbine, and the nozzle are
assumed to be isentropic.
In the analysis of actual cycles, however, the irreversibilities associated with these
devices should be considered.
The effect of the irreversibilities is to reduce the thrust that can be obtained from a
turbojet engine.
The thrust is determined from Newtons second law (conservation of momentum). The
pressures at the inlet and the exit of a turbojet engine are identical (the ambient
pressure); thus, the net thrust is :
where Vexit and Vinlet are relative to the aircraft ( so Vinlet is the aircraft velocity for an
aircraft cruising in still air) and fuel mass flow rate is neglected compared to air mass
flow rate.
