In an airbreathing gas turbine engine, the combustor inlet temperature is 600 K. The heating value of the fuel is 43.4 × 10⁶ J/kg. Assume Cₚ to be 1100 J/kg K for air and burned gases, and fuel-air ratio f<< 1.0. Neglect kinetic energy at the inlet and exit of the combustor and assume 100% burner efficiency. What is the fuel-air ratio required to achieve 1300 K temperature at the combustor exit?
