Joe,

Consult your Thermodynamics text. I believe you are oversimplifying. While a jet engine can be modeled as a simple open Brayton cycle, you must remember to account for adiabatic losses (compressor and turbine efficiencies). Your Thermodynamics professor will be able to help you with the particulars.

Best regards,

Tom Johnson
