Single Cycle Output
This is a cycle for a business jet engine.
Cruise flight condition is 11000m @ Mach
0.8. The overall pressure ratio is rather low
(P3/P2=17.33), burner exit temperature is
1450K and the bypass ratio is 6.

This is the HP Compressor Pressure Ratio of
the Single Cycle calculated before this
parametric study.
Choose a property from the list, double click or drag it to the
parameter page on the right. You can also click the arrow for
moving a parameter from left to right.
We employ
HP Compressor Pressure Ratio
as the only parameter for now.

Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) as a Function of
HPT Pressure Ratio
Sometimes the lines are
overlapping and the plot is
difficult to read
Changing the Layout
resolves this problem
The disadvantage of this plot is that
there is no information about
HPT Pressure Ratio anymore.
To correct for that we add contour
lines for HPT Pressure Ratio. We go for
another
New Picture

Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) as a Function of
Ideal Jet Velocity Ratio V18/V8
For each HP Compressor Pressure Ratio the
best SFC is achieved if the Ideal Jet Velocity
Ratio V18/V8 is approximately 0.8. This
relation between the bypass nozzle velocity
V18 and the core nozzle velocity V8 can be
achieved by choosing the right Outer Fan
Pressure Ratio.
In the next parametric study we will iterate
Outer Fan Pressure Ratio in such a way that
the Ideal Jet Velocity Ratio V18/V8 is equal to
0.8. Thus all the cycles are optimized for
Specific Fuel Consumption SFC .
