379.48 s ( specific impulse )3678.75 m/s ( exit velocity )263.21 kg/s ( mass flow )979855.3 N ( thrust )0.168 $m^{2}$ ( throat area )

Explanation:

A) Specific impulse

standard altitude = 25 km

take free steam pressure ( $p_{0}$ ) = 2527.3 N/ $m^{2}$

Exit pressure = ambient pressure. therefore exit pressure ( $p_{e}$ ) = 2527.3 N/ $m^{2}$

Applying specific impulse equation

$I_{sp}$ = $\frac{1}{g_{0} }$ [ $\frac{2Y T_{0} }{Y - 1} (\frac{R}{M} )[ 1 - (\frac{P_{e} }{p_{0} })^{\frac{y-1}{1} } ]]^{\frac{1}{2} }$ equation 1

given

$g_{0}$ = 9.81 m/ $s^{2}$ , M = 20 kg/kmol, R = 8314.47 j/kmol.k

y = 1.18, $T_{0}$ = 3756 k, $p_{e }$ = 2527.3 N/ $m^{2}$ , $p_{0}$ = 30 atm

substitute the given data into equation 1

$I_{sp}$ ( specific impulse ) = 379.48 s

B) exit velocity

Relating the equation for isentropic process, pressure and temperature at the combustion chamber , the exit temperature (Te) can be calculated using this formula :

$\frac{p_{e} }{p_{0} }$ = $(\frac{T_{e} }{T_{0} })^{\frac{y}{y-1} }$

SUBSTITUTE the value of the above parameters

make (Te) subject of the equation Te = 1273.11 k

next calculate for constant specific pressure ( Cp )

Cp = $\frac{y}{y-1}( \frac{R}{M})$

substitute the value of the above parameters into the equation

Cp = 2725.3 J/kg.k

Finally with Te and Cp known calculate the exit velocity

Ve = $\sqrt{2Cp(To - Te)}$

Cp = 2725.3 J/kg.k

To = 3756 k

Te = 1273.11 k

substitute the given values into the equation

Ve = 3678.75 m/s ( exit velocity )

C ) Mass flow

firstly calculate the density of the gas at exit ( De )

De = $\frac{Pe}{(\frac{R}{M}) } Te$

substituting the values of the parameters into the equation

De ( density of gas at exit ) = 0.00477 kg/m $^{3}$

finally calculate the Mass flow at the exit

$m_{e}$ = De*Ve*Ae

De = 0.00477 kg/ $m^{3}$

Ve = 3678.75 m/s

Ae = 15 $m^{2}$

therefore $m_{e}$ = 263.21 kg/s

D ) thrust

calculate the weight flow rate rate ( w ) firstly

w = mg ( mass flow * speed of gravity )

= 263.21 * 9.81 = 2582.1 N/s

finally calculate thrust by applying this equation for thrust

T ( thrust ) = specific impulse * weight flow rate

= 379.48 * 2582. 1 = 979855.3 N

E ) throat area

calculate the throat area using this equation

m = $\frac{PoA}{\sqrt{To} } \sqrt{\frac{y}{(\frac{R}{M} }) } (\frac{2}{y+1} )^{\frac{(Y+1)}{(y-1)} }$

substituting the values of : m , M , R, To, y, and Po into the equation and making A subject of the equation

A = $\frac{263.21 kg/s}{1568.1\sqrt{N.kg /m^{2} \sqrt{m} } }$ = 0.168 $m^{2}$ ( throat area )
