    Habib ur Rehman
    This document discusses converting a General Electric T700 helicopter gas turbine engine into a turbojet engine by removing the power turbine and replacing it with a nozzle. The mass flow rate through the system is 4.6 kg/s. By performing an ideal thermodynamic analysis of this conversion, the document aims to determine: 1) The temperature (T5) and exhaust velocity (V5) at the nozzle outlet. 2) The thrust force (Thrust5) produced by the nozzle, given in pound-force (lbf), using the known mass flow rate and calculations of temperature and velocity.

    Solved Problem 6.

    13 - T700 Proposed Turbojet Conversion


    Recall Solved Problem 6.11 in which we did an ideal thermodynamic analysis of the General Electric T700
    helicopter gas turbine engine. During Fall Quarter 2008 Dr. Tom Scott (currently retired) presented an inspiring
    and animated demonstration of the cutaway T700 gas turbine engine as shown below:

    During the talk he mentioned that one could unclamp and remove the power turbine at the rear and replace it with
    a nozzle to form a turbojet engine. This captured our imagination, hence we would like to do an initial ideal
    thermodynamic analysis of this conversion. Consider the schematic diagram of this conversion shown in the figure
    below:

    Notice that the h-s diagram has retained the same shape and characteristics as that in Solved Problem 6.11, with
    the only difference being that the change in enthalpy on the nozzle gives rise to a kinetic energy increase, rather
    than work output.
    On replacing the power turbine with an isentropic jet nozzle, determine the temperature (T5) and exhaust
    velocity (V5 - m/s). Given that the mass flow rate of the working gas through the system is 4.6 kg/s,
    determine the thrust force at the outlet of the nozzle (Thrust5 - lbf). [Note: 1 lbf (pound force) = 4.46 N]
