The TF34 is a military turbofan engine developed by General Electric. In the context of a jet engine like the TF34, the term “nozzle exit” refers to the point where the high-speed exhaust gases exit the engine’s nozzle.
The total energy () at the nozzle exit can be expressed as:
where,
- E is the Total Energy, i.e sum of kinetic and potential energy
- Â is the static enthalpy at the nozzle exit,
- Â is the velocity of the exhaust gases relative to the reference frame of the exhaust gases
