  • Robust Gas Turbine and Airframe System Design in Light of Uncertain
    Robust Gas Turbine and Airframe System Design in Light of Uncertain Fuel and CO2 Prices Stephan Langmaak1, James Scanlan2, and András Sóbester3 University of Southampton, Southampton, SO16 7QF, United Kingdom This paper presents a study that numerically investigated which cruise speed the next generation of short-haul aircraft with 150 seats should y at and whether a con- ventional two- or three-shaft turbofan, a geared turbofan, a turboprop, or an open rotor should be employed in order to make the aircraft's direct operating cost robust to uncertain fuel and carbon (CO2) prices in the Year 2030, taking the aircraft pro- ductivity, the passenger value of time, and the modal shift into account. To answer this question, an optimization loop was set up in MATLAB consisting of nine modules covering gas turbine and airframe design and performance, ight and aircraft eet sim- ulation, operating cost, and optimization. If the passenger value of time is included, the most robust aircraft design is powered by geared turbofan engines and cruises at Mach 0.80. If the value of time is ignored, however, then a turboprop aircraft ying at Mach 0.70 is the optimum solution. This demonstrates that the most fuel-ecient option, the open rotor, is not automatically the most cost-ecient solution because of the relatively high engine and airframe costs. 1 Research Engineer, Computational Engineering and Design 2 Professor of Aerospace Design, Computational Engineering and Design, AIAA member 3 Associate Professor in Aircraft Engineering, Computational Engineering and Design, AIAA member 1 I. Introduction A. Background IT takes around 5 years to develop a gas turbine engine, which then usually remains in pro- duction for more than two decades [1, 2].

  • Introduction Firstly, We Have Given a Little Background of France, in Terms
    Introduction Firstly, we have given a little background of France, in terms of its geographic, Demographic, political and economic characteristics and a brief History of France from its old age till the Modern times. Secondly, In order to find the absolute and comparative advantages of France, in terms of its international trade and economic prosperity, we have categorized the imports and exports of France into the following categories: Mineral products, Wood products, Metal products, Stones and glass products, Paper goods, Agriculture products, Animal products, Food stuffs, Weapons, Footwear and headwear, Animal hides, Textiles, Transportations, Machineries, Arts and antiques, Precious metals, Chemical products, instruments, plastics and rubbers. We have kept the imports/exports data of the year 2013 and 2014 under observations and had a relative comparison of France’s imports and exports commodities of these three years. The relative comparison of which are listed in the appendix, in terms of monetary value, percentage value of each categories and the overall imports and exports. Since, the imports and exports were in large numbers, thus we have taken the top 5 imports and exports of each category, as mentioned in the above paragraph, to find out the absolute and comparative advantages of France. Furthermore, we have: revealed the best comparative advantage by applying porter’s diamond model; determined the destination countries, where commodities are exported, by selecting a single company with in the industry that has the best comparative advantage. And finally, we determined the mode expansion using Foreign Direct Investment model. Background Geographically: France, with an Area of 643,801 Sq.

  • Comparison of Helicopter Turboshaft Engines
    Comparison of Helicopter Turboshaft Engines John Schenderlein1, and Tyler Clayton2 University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, 80304 Although they garnish less attention than their flashy jet cousins, turboshaft engines hold a specialized niche in the aviation industry. Built to be compact, efficient, and powerful, turboshafts have made modern helicopters and the feats they accomplish possible. First implemented in the 1950s, turboshaft geometry has gone largely unchanged, but advances in materials and axial flow technology have continued to drive higher power and efficiency from today's turboshafts. Similarly to the turbojet and fan industry, there are only a handful of big players in the market. The usual suspects - Pratt & Whitney, General Electric, and Rolls-Royce - have taken over most of the industry, but lesser known companies like Lycoming and Turbomeca still hold a footing in the Turboshaft world. Nomenclature shp = Shaft Horsepower SFC = Specific Fuel Consumption FPT = Free Power Turbine HPT = High Power Turbine Introduction & Background Turboshaft engines are very similar to a turboprop engine; in fact many turboshaft engines were created by modifying existing turboprop engines to fit the needs of the rotorcraft they propel. The most common use of turboshaft engines is in scenarios where high power and reliability are required within a small envelope of requirements for size and weight. Most helicopter, marine, and auxiliary power units applications take advantage of turboshaft configurations. In fact, the turboshaft plays a workhorse role in the aviation industry as much as it is does for industrial power generation. While conventional turbine jet propulsion is achieved through thrust generated by a hot and fast exhaust stream, turboshaft engines creates shaft power that drives one or more rotors on the vehicle.
