Developed a MATLAB simulation of an ideal turbojet engine operating on the Brayton Cycle to analyse thermodynamic behaviour throughout the engine stages. The model calculates pressure, temperature, entropy, exhaust velocity and thermal efficiency across the engine.
A complete Temperature–Entropy (T-s) diagram was generated to visualise the cycle and illustrate energy transfer through the engine. Compressor and turbine efficiencies were included to produce more realistic performance behaviour and analysis.
This project strengthened my understanding of propulsion systems, thermodynamics, gas dynamics and engineering simulation using computational methods. The simulation produced realistic thermodynamic trends and performance estimates, demonstrating the relationship between pressure ratio, exhaust velocity and overall engine efficiency.
