Cycle Analysis of Real Turbofan As α increases, difference in S between real engine cycle and ideal engine cycle increases: Due mainly to the much higher f for the "real" engine. Turbofan with Losses: Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption vs Comp Pressure Ratio Source: Example 7.7 Cycle Analysis of Real Turbofan Specific thrust is reduced more than that of ideal engine at high M 0 because of increasing inlet total pressure loss Limiting M 0 is much lower for real engine than for ideal engine.
