The minimization of exergy destruction brings the design as closely as permissible to the theoretical limit. This study presents exergy destruction analysis of a turbojet engine for different flight Mach number and altitudes. Turbojet engine being considered consists of an inlet, a centrifugal compressor, reverse flow combustion chamber, axial-flow turbine and exhaust nozzle. The flight Mach number and altitude are examined on the exergetic destructions of compressor, combustion chamber, turbine and exhaust nozzle. The results of component-based destruction analysis are given as three dimensional exergetic-destruction response surface plots related to altitude and flight Mach number.
