8. In a bypass engine, the bypass air: Increases the air mass flow and therefore reduces the propulsive efficiency. Reduces the air mass flow and therefore increases the propulsive efficiency. Cools the combustion chamber and therefore increases the thermal efficiency. Increases the air mass flow and therefore increases the propulsive efficiency.
