The Significance of Major Cycle Variables on Turbojet Engine Performance at Mach 3.0

L. R. Woodworth

ResearchPublished 1955

A study of the effects of major cycle variables on turbojet engine performance at the operating condition of Mach 3.0. These effects (i.e., compressor pressure ratio, compressor and turbine efficiency, turbine inlet temperature, afterburner temperature, cooling air bleed, inlet water injection, and inlet ram recovery) are presented in terms of specific fuel consumption and specific thrust.
