Procedures (cont.)

• Therefore, the temperature of the hot gas entering the turbine section will be at a temperature of T4=T5+242.2=2673.2(K) and it is below the maximum tolerable temperature of 3,000 K.

• The total thermal energy supplied into the engine can be determined as the difference of the energy in and out of the combustion chamber:

• Note: I neglect the energy of the fuel by assuming that is small compared to the combustion energy.
