Exergetic, Exergoeconomic, Sustainability and Environmental Damage Cost Analyses of J85 Turbojet Engine with Afterburner

Abstract

Abstract This paper deals with the performance analyses of exergetic, exergoeconomic, sustainability and environmental damage cost for J85 turbojet engine at Idle (ID), Intermediate (INT), Military (MIL) and Afterburner (AB) operation modes. The exergetic efficiency of whole engine is calculated to be 0.24 % at ID, 18.67 % at INT, 29.81 % at MIL and 22.77 % at AB modes, respectively. The unit exergy cost of product is accounted to be 30,423.94 $/GJ at ID, 269.35 $/GJ at INT, 121.47 $/GJ at MIL and 133.47 $/GJ at AB modes. The sustainable cost index is found to be 30,350.92 $/GJ at ID, 224.45 $/GJ at INT, 85.26 $/GJ at MIL and 103.0 $/GJ at AB modes while the sustainability index is obtained to be 1.0 at ID, 1.2 at INT, 1.43 % at MIL and 1.3 at AB modes. On the other hand, the environmental damage cost rate of engine are calculated to be 180.22 $/h at ID, 271.34 $/h at INT, 657.95 $/h at MIL and 1992.55 $/h at AB modes while the total cost rates of engine are determined to be 974.07 $/h at ID, 1357.15 $/h at INT, 2641.76 $/h at MIL and 6573.04 $/h at AB modes, respectively. The results indicate that J85 engine operates the exergetic-efficiently and cost-effectively at MIL mode.
