Off-Design Performance Prediction of Jet Engines

In this paper it is attempted to predict the off-design performance of a jet engine. After a review of the governing equations, the off-design performance is investigated by two methods. In the first method, the component characteristic curves of the Gas Turbines are used. In the second method some design point parameters and the reference state conditions are employed. The results obtained by ...

Jet Propulsion Engines

The jet propulsion engine is used for the propulsion of aircraft, m issile and submarine (for vehicles operating entirely in a fluid) by the reaction of jet of gases which are discharged rearward (behind) with a high velocity. As applied to vehicles operating entirely in a fluid, a momentum is imparted to a mass of fluid in such a manner that the reaction of the imparted momentum furnishes a pr...

Efficiency bounds for nonequilibrium heat engines

We analyze the efficiency of thermal engines (either quantum or classical) working with a single heat reservoir like an atmosphere. The engine first gets an energy intake, which can be done in an arbitrary nonequilibrium way e.g. combustion of fuel. Then the engine performs the work and returns to the initial state. We distinguish two general classes of engines where the working body first equi...
