1 Classify jet engines. 3
2 Define:Specific Impulse thrust, propulsive efficiency, thermal efficiency, and 5
overall efficiency in terms of jet engine.
3 Explain the Brayton cycle with reheating, intercooling and regenerator. 6
Make the comparison of all the possible modifications compared to simple
Brayton cycle.
4 In a gas turbine engine the compressor is driven by high pressure stage of a 6
two stage turbine and compresses 5 kg of air per second from 1 bar to 5 bar
with an efficiency of 85%. High pressure turbine stage has an efficiency of
87% and its inlet temperature is 980K. the low pressure turbine stage is
having efficiency of 82% and both the turbines has different pressure ratios.
Exhaust from low pressure turbine is preheated in heat exchanger having an
effectiveness of 70%. Neglect the mass of fuel and pressure losses. Estimate
the intermediate pressures and temperatures for the cycle. Also calculate the
power output of the cycle and overall efficiency. Ambient temperature and
pressure 288K and 1 bar.
