Air enters the combustor of a jet engine at p1=10 atm, T1=1000°R, and M1=0.2. Fuel is injected and burned, with a fuel/air mass ratio of 0.06. The heat released during combustion is 4.5 x 10^8 ft-lbf per slug of fuel (or 18,000 BTU/lbm).
1. Assuming one-dimensional frictionless flow with γ = 1.4 for the fuel-air mixture, calculate M2, p2, and T2 at the exit of the combustor.

M2 = 0.06404

P2 = 2.273

T2 = 5806.45°R

Explanation:

Given that p1 = 10atm, T1 = 1000R, M1 = 0.2.

Therefore from Steam Table, Po1 = (1.028)*(10) = 10.28 atm,

To1 = (1.008)*(1000) = 1008 ºR

R = 1716 ft-lb/slug-ºR cp= 6006 ft-lb/slug-ºR fuel-air ratio (by mass)

F/A = = FA slugf/slugaq = 4.5 x 108ft-lb/slugfx FA slugf/sluga = (4.5 x 108)FA ft-lb/sluga

For the air q = cp(To2– To1)

(Exit flow – inlet flow) – choked flow is assumed For M1= 0.2

Table A.3 of steam table gives P/P* = 2.273,

T/T* = 0.2066,

To/To* = 0.1736 To* = To2= To/0.1736 = 1008/0.1736 = 5806.45 ºR Gives q = cp(To* - To) = (6006 ft-lb/sluga-ºR)*(5806.45 – 1008)ºR = 28819500 ft-lb/slugaSetting equal to equation 1 above gives 28819500 ft-lb/sluga= FA*(4.5 x 108) ft-lb/slugaFA =

F/A = 0.06404 slugf/slugaor less to prevent choked flow at the exit

unlike the threaded fasteners which are used to clamp the machine members, power screws are used to transmit power. common applications of power screws are: screw jacks: to lift weight. lead screw of lathe: for axial movement of tool and its precise positioning.
