Generalization of Turbojet-engine Performance in Terms of Pumping Characteristics

Résumé du livre

Characteristics of a basic turbojet engine consisting of compressor, combustor, and turbine can be presented in terms of pumping characteristics; that is, corrected air flow, ratio of engine-outlet to -inlet total pressure, ratio of engine-outlet to -inlet total temperature, Reynolds number index, corrected engine speed, and corrected fuel-air ratio. Such a presentation describes the engine independently of the characteristics of other elements of the propulsion system. This method of presentation also permits rapid estimation of performance of complex propulsion systems involving the basic tubojet engine.
