the compressor, Wturbine = Wcompressor
η m (m + m f )c pg (T04 − T05 ) = m c pa (T03 − T02 )
T05 = c pg T04 − c pa (T03 − T02 ) / η m (1 + f )

Problem # 4
• An aircraft operating on a turboprop engine flies
at 200 m/s while ingesting a primary mass flow
of 20 kg/s. The propeller of the engine having an
efficiency of 0.8, generates a thrust of 10000 N,
while the jet thrust is 2000N. The power turbine
and nozzle have efficiencies of 0.88 and 0.92
respectively. If we remove the power turbine
and the nozzle, what would be the thrust
developed by the engine while operating under
the same conditions?

Solution: Problem # 4
• We know that the thrust power developed by
the propeller is given by,
Fn , pr × V = η pr ×η pr × α∆h × m
10000 × 200
∴α∆h = = 142045.45 J / kg
0.8 × 0.88 × 20
The nozzle thrust is
Fn ,nozzle = m (V ex−V )
2000 = 20(V ex−200) or , V ex= 300 m / s
28
Prof. Bhaskar Roy, Prof. A M Pradeep, Department of Aerospace, IIT Bombay
Lect-11
Solution: Problem # 4
V ex= 2η n (1 − α )∆h
300 = 2 × 0.92 × (1 − α )∆h
2
∴ ∆h = 190958.49 J / kg
With the power turbine and the propeller removed,
the entire ∆h drop occurs through the nozzle.
∴V ex= 2η n ∆h = 2 × 0.92 × 190958.49
= 592.76 m / s
∴Thrust = 20(592.76 − 200) = 7855.18 N
