flying at Mach number M = 0,9 at an altitude of H = 10.500 m (ambient pressure,
temperature, sonic speed, and air density ratio are P = 24.475 Pa, T = 220 K, V = 297,3
a
m/s, and 0,3165, respectively). The low-pressure spool is composed of a turbine driving
the fan and the low-pressure compressor. The high-pressure spool is composed of a
high-pressure compressor and a high-pressure turbine. Air is bled from the outlet of
high-pressure compressor. The total temperature difference (in K) and pressure ratios
for different modules are recorded and shown in Table 1:

Bleed b = 0,202 = 20,2%
Comment: Though this bleed ratio looks like a great percentage, however, it will be
described in the turbine cooling sections that each blade row may need some 2 % of air
mass flow rate for cooling, and the two turbines here have a total of five stages and so
ten blade rows. In addition bleeding has its other applications for cabin air conditioning
as well as other anti-icing applications.
From equation (1)
Fuel-to-air ratio f = 0.01968
This fuel-to-air ratio is a reasonable figure which assures the value previously obtained
for the bleed ratio.

Comment: Though this bleed ratio looks like a great percentage, however, it will be
described in the turbine cooling sections that each blade row may need some 2 % of air
mass flow rate for cooling, and the two turbines here have a total of five stages and so
ten blade rows. In addition bleeding has its other applications for cabin air conditioning
as well as other anti-icing applications. From equation (1) Fuel-to-air ratio f = 0.01968
