An un-mixed turbofan engine with a bypass ratio of 6.0, flies with a velocity of 200 m/s. The core
and the bypass nozzles of the engine, that are both convergent nozzles, operate under choked
condition and have exhaust static temperatures of 580 K and 295 K, respectively. The specific gas
constant and the ratio of specific heats for both the streams are 287 J/kgK and 1.4, respectively. If
the fuel-air ratio is negligible, the thrust per unit mass flow rate generated by the engine is
_______Ns/kg.
