Turbofan engines are one of the most common types of engines used in modern commercial and military aircraft due to their efficiency and performance characteristics. In this study, a thermodynamic model is generated using GasTurb 14 software for a commercial two-spool, unmixed flow, and booster turbofan engine (CFM56-5A3) used in Boeing A320-212. Besides, an exergy analysis of the modeled turbofan engine is performed. Exergy performance criteria such as exergy efficiency, exergy development potential, exergy destruction ratio, productivity lack ratio, and fuel depletion ratio are evaluated for the engine components. In addition, how bypass ratio (BPR) affects net thrust and specific fuel consumption (SFC) for the modeled turbofan engine is investigated. As a result, the net thrust and SFC values of the modeled engine and the actual engine are overlapped with 14.0% and 7.2% deviation, respectively. The maximum exergy efficiency occurs at the high-pressure turbine as 0.992. When the bypass ratio is minimum, the maximum net thrust and SFC occur as 62.24 kN and 24.08 g kN-1 s-1, respectively. High pressure turbine has the minimum exergy development potential of 1528.5 kW.
