Analysis of parameters for thrust control of a turbojet engine equipped with air-inlet throttle and variable-area exhaust nozzle

From Introduction: "In this report, altitude, airplane velocity, exhaust-nozzle area, and turbine-inlet temperature were chosen and corresponding engine speed, fuel flow, and throttle pressure ratio were found. A detailed discussion of the engine analysis and the calculations used are presented in Appendix A. The derivations of the principal equations used are presented in appendix B."

Preliminary Results of an Altitude-Wind-Tunnel Investigation of an Axial-Flow Gas Turbine-Propeller Engine 4 - Compressor and Turbine Performance Characteristics

"As part of an investigation of the performance and operational characteristics of the axial-flow gas turbine-propeller engine, conducted in the Cleveland altitude wind tunnel, the performance characteristics of the compressor and the turbine were obtained. The data presented were obtained at a compressor-inlet ram-pressure ratio of 1.00 for altitudes from 5000 to 35,000 feet, engine speeds from 8000 to 13,000 rpm, and turbine-inlet temperatures from 1400 to 2100 R. The highest compressor pressure ratio obtained was 6.15 at a corrected air flow of 23.7 pounds per second and a corrected turbine-inlet temperature of 2475 degrees R" (p. 1).
