Questions
Your report must also include answers to the following questions in the appropriate section:

1. Does the temperature entering the turbine change with the engine RPM? If it does, suggest why this occurs, and a reason supported by your data is preferable.
2. How does the efficiency of this device compare to a Carnot cycle?
3. How does compressor pressure ratio of this device compare to with that of a modern turbofan?
