MixedFlowTurbofanProfile:

Path: ACPro/Airbreathing

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Mixed flow turbofan engine performance profile for p, h and v.

   A mixed flow turbofan is one in which the fan and core streams
   mix in the same nozzle. This model supports afterburning.
   This is the same code as in JetEnginePeformance but designed for
   a single input. The outputs are the same as RamjetH2. Only mks units
   are supported in this function.

   Type MixedFlowTurbofanProfile for a demo

   This function calls MixedFlowTurbofan

   Note that only ref.h0 need be entered for the atmospheric parameters.

   The following are computed from the Standard Atmosphere and AtmGamma
   as follows.

   q = StdAtm( ref.h0 );

   ref.p0        = q.pressure;
   ref.a0        = q.speedOfSound;
   ref.t0        = q.temperature;
   ref.rho       = q.density;
   ref.gammaC    = AtmGamma( ref.t0 );

   Since version 5.
