MixedFlowTurbofan:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Mixed flow turbofan engine performance.

   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 MixedFlowTurbofan for a demo

   This function employs a reference model and its outputs are deviations
   from the reference model. Type

   ref = MixedFlowTurbofan

   to get the reference data structure along with the demo.

   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 );
