η_th = P/(m_f*Q)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Turbojet Thermal Efficiency - Turbojet Thermal Efficiency signifies the ratio of the work output of a turbojet engine to the heat input from fuel.
Propulsive Power - (Measured in Watt) - Propulsive Power refers to the power generated by a propulsion system, crucial in measuring the engine's ability to produce thrust and propel an object or vehicle forward.
Fuel Flow Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Fuel Flow Rate represents the rate at which fuel is consumed or supplied over a specified period, crucial for monitoring fuel consumption and efficiency in various engines or systems.
Fuel Calorific Value - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram) - Fuel Calorific Value denotes the amount of heat energy released per unit mass of fuel upon complete combustion.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Propulsive Power: 980 Kilowatt --> 980000 Watt (Check conversion here)
Fuel Flow Rate: 0.033 Kilogram per Second --> 0.033 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
Fuel Calorific Value: 43500 Kilojoule per Kilogram --> 43500000 Joule per Kilogram (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η_th = P/(m_f*Q) --> 980000/(0.033*43500000)

Evaluating ... ...

η_th = 0.682688958551028

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.682688958551028 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.682688958551028 ≈ 0.682689 <-- Turbojet Thermal Efficiency
