Temperature of the back of a turbine jet engine (or something like that)

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the temperature at the back of turbine jet engines, specifically in the context of modern fighter planes. Participants seek to clarify the temperature range under various operating conditions for use in calculations and experiments.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for the temperature at the back of a normal turbine jet engine, specifying a preference for degrees Celsius.
  • Another participant notes the wide range of temperatures and requests more specific details regarding the type of engine and operating conditions.
  • A participant mentions interest in temperatures for modern fighter planes and indicates the need for this information for calculations related to their idea.
  • Reference is made to an introductory treatment of jet engines on Wikipedia, highlighting that different types of jet engines have varying exhaust temperatures, with high-bypass designs cooling the exhaust more than low-bypass types.
  • A participant expresses gratitude after receiving information, indicating they can proceed with their calculations and experiments.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on a specific temperature, as the discussion highlights the variability based on engine type and operating conditions.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks specific assumptions about the types of engines or conditions being referenced, and the temperature ranges remain unresolved.

can anybody please tell me the temperature (degrees Celsius please.) there is at the back of a normal turbine jet engine (or something like that:-p )?? i couldn't find it on wikipedia or something like that:frown: so i ask it here:approve:
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
There is an extremely wide range - could you be more specific as to what type and under what operating conditions?
 
hmm
i think the types used in modern fighter planes, in the air or something
i need the temperatures for calculations for my idea
 
There is a pretty good introductory treatment of the different types of jet engines at wikipedia.org:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine

As Russ says, and as the article discusses, different jet engine types have different exhaust temperatures. High-bypass designs obviously cool off the exhaust more than low-bypass types. The temperature of the combustion is given about 2/3 of the way down the long page.
 
thank you very much
now i can go on calculating and experimenting ;)
