`5—27a and 5—28a show that specific thrust decreases with increasing flight Mach
`number and with increasing bypass ratio. These four figures also show that the
`high—bypass-ratio engines are limited to lower flight Mach numbers and that a
`low-bypass—ratio engine is required for the higher flight Mach numbers. ’
`Propulsive, thermal, and overall efficiencies are plotted versus the flight
`Mach number for different values of the bypass ratio in Figs. 5—.27c, 5—27d, 5—28c,
`and 5—28d. We can see that propulsive efficiency increases with flight Mach
`number and that there is an optimum bypass ratio for each flight Mach number
`that gives maximum propulsive and overall efficiencies.
`‘
`The thrust ratio is plotted versus flight Mach number for difierent Values of
`‘ the bypass ratio in Figs. 5—27e and 5-28:2‘. These plots show that thrust ratio
`decreases with increasing bypass ratio and generally decreases with increasing
`flight Mach number.

`For a given set of flight conditions To and M0 and design limit 1',\, there are
`three design Variables:
`7rC,_{_zf_,_ and oz. In Figs. 5-23a through 5-233 and 5-2-4a
`through 5-246, we can see that by increasing the compressor ratio no we can
`increase the thrust per unit mass flow and decrease the thrust specific fuel
`consumption. Increases in the compressor pressure ratio above a Value of 20 do
`not increase the thrust per unit mass flow but do decrease the thrust specific
`fuel consumption. In Figs. 5-25a through 5-25d, We can see that an optimum

`that an
`optimum bypass ratio exists for all other parameters
`This optinmm
`bypass ratio gives the minimum thrust specific fuel consumption. ‘W’e will look.
`at this optimum bypass ratio first. The optimum fan pressure ratio will be

`
`When Eq. (5-58]‘) for the fuel/ air ratio and Eq. (5—58z') for specific thrust are
`‘inserted into the equation for specific fuel consumption [Eq.
`(5-58k)], an
`expression in terms of the bypass ratio oz and other prescribed variables results.
`For a given set of such prescribed variables (7,, yrc, 73,:-, 1;, V};,), we may locate
`the minimum 5 by taking the partial derivative of S with respect to tlie bypass
`ratio—oz. Since the fuel/ air ratio f is not a function of the bypass ratio, We have

`Noting from Eqs. (5-50) and (5-53) that the term within the square root on the
`left side of the equals sign is the Velocity ratio V19/V0, and that the term within
`the square root on the right side is the Velocity ratio V9/V0, We see that Eq. (vi)
`becomes
`
`(5—60)
`
`Thus
`
`We thus note from Eq. (5-60) that when the bypass ratio is chosen to give the
`minimum specific fuel consumption, the thrust per unit mass flow of the engine
`core is one—half that of the fan. Thus the thrust ratio of an optimum-bypass
`ratio ideal turbofan is 0.5. Using this fact, we may write the equation for the
`specific thrust simply as
`
`(5-61)
`
`where a* is obtained from Eq. (5~59).
`One can easily show that the propulsive efficiency at the optimum bypass
`ratio is given by

`
`The optimum bypass ratio is plotted in Fig. 5-2951 versus the compressor
`pressure ratio for a flight Mach number of 0.9 and fan pressure ratio of 2. From
`this plot, we can see that the optimum bypass ratio increases with the compressor
`pressure ratio. The optimum bypass ratio is plotted in Fig. 5-291) versus the fan
`pressure ratio, and this figure shows that optimum bypass ratio decreases with fan
`pressure ratio.
`The optimum bypass ratio versus the flight Mach number is plotted in Fig.
`5—29c for fan pressure ratios of 2 and 3. From these plots, we can see that the
`optimum bypass ratio decreases with the flight Mach number. Note that the
`optimum engine is a turbojet at a Mach number of about 3.0 for a tan pressure
`ratio of 3.
`'
`The plots of specific thrust and thrust specific fuel consumption. for an ideal
`turbofan engine with optimum bypass ratio versus compressor pressure ratio are
`superimposed on Figs. 5—23a through 5—23e by a dashed line marked a*. The
`optimum-bypass-ratio ideal
`turbofan has
`the minimum thrust
`specific fuel
`consumption.
`The plots of specific thrust and thrust specific fuel consumption for the
`optimum-bypass-ratio ide'al turbofan versus fan pressure ratio are superimposed
`on Figs. 5-255: through 5-2503 by a dashed line marked ct*. As shown in these
`figures, the plot for a* is the locus of the minimum value of S for each rzrf.
`The plots of specific thrust and thrust specific fuel consumption for the
`optimum—bypass-ratio ideal turbofan versus flight Mach number are superimposed
`on Figs. 52752 through 5—27e for a fan pressure ratio of 2 and on Figs. 5—28a .
`through 5-288‘ for a fan pressure ratio of 3. As shown in these figures, the plots for
`a* are the locus of the minimum value of S for fixed values of me and 75,.
`The thermal efficiency of an optimum-bypass—ratio ideal turbofan is the
`same as that of an ideal turbojet. The bypass ratio of an ideal turbofan afifects
`only the propulsive efficiency. The propulsive efficiency of an optimum—bypass—
`ratio ideal turbofan is superimposed on those of Figs. 5-23d, 5-25¢, 5-2”/c, and
`5—28c. As can be seen, the optimum bypass ratio gives the maximum propulsive
`eficiency. Likewise, as shown in Figs. 5—23d, 5~25c, 5-27d, and 5-28d,
`the
`optimum bypass ratio gives the maximum overall efficiency. The thrust ratio of an
`optimum—bypass—ratio~ ideal turbofan is superimposed on those of Figs. 5-236,
`5—25d, 5—27e, and 5-288 and is equal to 0.5.

`fan pressure ratio rtf which gives the minimum specific fuel consumption and
`maximum specific thrust. As will be shown, the optimum fan pressure ratio
`corresponds to the exit velocity V19 of the fan stream, being equal to the exit
`velocity of the core stream V9. It is left, as a reader exercise, to show that equal
