The figure below illustrates a typical single spool axial flow turbojet engine. It is required to calculate the distribution of the thrust force for each component (compressor, diffuser, combustion chamber, turbine, jet pipe, and nozzle) during ground run. Prove that the sum of these thrust forces is equal to the thrust force developed by the engine using the usual thrust force equation.

Solution
The figure below illustrates a typical single spool axial flow turbojet engine. It is required to calculate the distribution of the thrust force for each component (compressor, diffuser, combustion chamber, turbine, jet pipe, and nozzle) during ground run. Prove that the sum of these thrust forces is equal to the thrust force developed by the engine using the usual thrust force equation.
