A Simplified Simulation of Gas Turbine Engine Operation A simplified simulation of gas turbine engine operation John Olsen & John Page School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Sydney, N.S.W., 2052. [email protected] & [email protected] Abstract. This work outlines the analysis used in simulating the operation of a gas turbine engine. Its starting point is the analysis of Cumpsty (2006). Cumpsty’s work suggests that it is possible to simplify the behavior of gas turbine engines enormously by taking into account aspects that are common to all turbine maps, i.e., the collapse of curves representing differing constant non-dimensional spool rotational speed. As a result, the relationship between the pressure ratio and the non-dimensional mass flow rate as well as the pressure ratio and the isentropic efficiency are essentially independent of the rotational speed of the spool. Following Cumpsty, we develop equations to enable us to calculate both pressure ratios and normalised mass flow rates through compressors so that we can plot the behavior of these engines on compressor maps. numbering regime adopted in this work, i.e., station 2 at 1. INTRODUCTION the inlet to the compressor, station 3 at the inlet to the combustion chamber, station 4 at the inlet to the turbine For straight and level flight, aircraft require a constant and station 5 at the inlet to the propelling nozzle. throughput of energy to maintain altitude and speed. In many aircraft applications, gas turbine engines are utilised to provide forward thrust. It can be shown that the net thrust Tn is: n & ( j −= VVmT ) (1) where m& is the mass flow rate of air through the engine (we ignore the mass flow rate of fuel through the engine), Vj is the magnitude of the velocity of the jet issuing from the propelling nozzle with respect to the aircraft and V is the magnitude of the velocity of the incoming airflow with respect to the aircraft. To maximise propulsive efficiency, Vj must be kept low meaning that the mass flow rate must be kept high. For an aircraft powered by gas turbine engines, the rate at which the flow issuing from the jet nozzles can transfer energy to the aircraft is equal to the product of the thrust and velocity of the incoming airflow with respect to the aircraft. If we increase rate at which the jet transfers energy to the aircraft so that it exceeds the energy required for straight and level unaccelerated flight, the aircraft will climb. Similarly, if we decrease the rate at which the jet transfers energy to the aircraft to a level below that required for straight and level unaccelerated flight, the aircraft will descend. Changing the pressure ratio across the engines propelling nozzles controls the rate at which the jet transfers energy to the aircraft. This is the job of the gas turbine engine. Figure 1.

Basic operation of gas turbines turbofan, given with the numbering regime that is used in this work. The numbering regime is the same as that To understand the simulation, we need to offer a brief used by Cumpsty (2006). explanation of how gas turbine engines work. For further information we refer to reader to Gunston In a single spool engine, all compressor and turbine (2006) and Hünecke (2003). Figure 1 shows diagrams stages connect to the same shaft which is commonly of the basic engine configurations for the single-spool called the spool. We distinguish between engine turbojet, the two-spool turbojet and the more common compressor operation at design and off design two-spool turbofan engine. The figure also shows the conditions.

At this design condition, the rotational velocity of the spool and the velocity of the incoming For most gas turbine engine operating conditions, the air to the engine, are such that the inlet air impinges on flow from the propelling nozzles is choked. This is the compressor blades at zero degrees of incidence. At emphasised by Cumpsty (2006) and supported by El- this condition, the isentropic efficiency of the Sayed (2008) and Crane (2005). This means that the compressor is maximised. This ideal flow arrangement velocity at the nozzle throat has reached the local speed is not met at other engine operating conditions such as of sound. Changing the stagnation pressure and take off and landing, where there is a significant temperature through it can only alter the flow from a reduction in compressor efficiency. The practical need fixed convergent nozzle. Therefore the purpose of the to operate engines at off design conditions limits the gas generator (i.e. the compressor, combustor and the pressure ratio that a multiple stage compressor can turbine) is to provide the propelling nozzle with a flow attain if connected to a single-spool. of gas sufficient to choke the propelling nozzles.

  • A Numerical Model for Predicting the Aerodynamic Characteristics of Propelling Nozzles
    ISABE-2019-24047 1 A numerical model for predicting the aerodynamic characteristics of propelling nozzles Aws Al-Akam [email protected] Former PhD student at Propulsion Engineering Centre, School of Aerospace, Transport, and Manufacturing, Cranfield University Babylon University, College of Engineering Hilla, Babil Iraq Theoklis Nikolaidis, David G. MacManus, Ioannis Goulos Cranfield University Propulsion Engineering Centre, School of Aerospace, Transport, and Manufacturing MK43 0AL Bedfordshire England ABSTRACT It is essential to predict the exhaust-system performance of the aero-engine during the design stages as it plays a critical role in the engine components matching. In addition to this, it has an impact on the overall engine performance. Consequently, it is important to model the complex flow features around the exhaust system accurately in order to capture the flow characteristics. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) alongside with low-order models can play a central role in the design and performance assessment of the propulsion system. This paper aims to explore the suitability of a numerical model, boundary conditions, and the employed mesh topology in computing a propelling ISABE 2019 2 ISABE 2019 nozzle performance. The current work is a first step towards building a module to assess a wide range of nozzle configurations at the preliminary design stages. A single-stream and plug-nozzle propelling nozzle were simulated for this purpose. For the single-stream nozzle, the simulations were run at various flight conditions and different geometrical features. For both nozzle configurations, a comparison between the effectiveness of six turbulence models to capture the nozzle flow features is presented. The validated module is then used to assess the impact of the bypass flow and the plug half-angle on the performance of the core nozzle for a dual-stream nozzle configuration.

A simpleturbojet engine was designed, and construction in this project using a large diesel car turbocharger on a small-scale level. The turbocharger serves as an integrated compressor & turbine assembly that is suitably manipulated and carefully convertedinto an open cycle constant pressure gas turbine. The design was made bystudying the work done by industry and researchers over the course of the history ofjet engines. The project mainly involves modelling and designing of combustion chamber using software packages likeAutoCAD, SolidWorks etc.; and then complete fabrication of the same by us.The methods were then discussed and chosen in a way that wouldsimplify the design work as well as the construction of the engine. In this research, our main objective is to design, develop and manufacturea self- sustaining combustion within the engine. The design settled uponconsists of a radial compressor, an annular combustion chamber and an axial turbine.Since the compressor would have been the most difficult part to machine, the decision was made early on to use the compressor from a turbocharger out of an automotiveengine. Turbocharger consists of two chambers that are connected by center housing and the two chambers contain a turbine wheel and a compressor wheel connected by a shaft which passes through the center housing.

  • Acoustic and Aerodynamic Characteristics Of
    Aeroacoustic Characteristics of Model Jet Test Facility Flow Conditioners Kevin W. Kinzie*, Brenda S. Henderson**, and Harry H. Haskin*** NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton , VA 23681 An experimental investigation of flow conditioning devices used to suppress internal rig noise in high speed, high temperature experimental jet facilities is discussed. The aerodynamic and acoustic characteristics of a number of devices including pressure loss and extraneous noise generation are measured. Both aerodynamic and acoustic characteristics are strongly dependent on the porosity of the flow conditioner and the closure ratio of the duct system. For unchoked flow conditioners, the pressure loss follows conventional incompressible flow models. However, for choked flow conditioners, a compressible flow model where the duct and flow conditioner system is modeled as a convergent-divergent nozzle can be used to estimate pressure loss. Choked flow conditioners generate significantly more noise than unchoked conditioners. In addition, flow conditioners with small hole diameters or sintered metal felt material generate less “self-noise” noise compared to flow conditioners with larger holes.

Deshpande, Nitin L. Narappanawar Abstract:-The FSAE guidelines state that it is mandatory for many crucial components are to be fitted in a very little each and every car participating in the said event to have a space. Therefore there is a need to design a new kind of single circular 20mm restrictor in the intake system. All the air nozzle achieving optimality at a higher angle than that of the flowing to the engine must pass through this restrictor. Conventionally, a Venturi Nozzle is used as a restrictor. In our venturi nozzle. For this purpose De Laval Nozzle and Bell research, we have proposed two Nozzles: De-Laval Nozzle and Nozzle are analyzed as a possible alternative to the venturi.

ABSTRACT Abstract Emerging 21st century military missions task engines to deliver the fuel efficiency of a high bypass turbofan while retaining the ability to produce the high specific thrust of a low bypass turbofan. This study explores the possibility of satisfying such competing demands by adding a second independently modulated bypass stream to the basic turbofan architecture. This third stream can be used for a variety of purposes including: providing a cool heat sink for dissipating aircraft heat loads, cooling turbine cooling air, and providing a readily available stream of constant pressure ratio air for lift augmentation. Furthermore, by modulating airflow to the second and third streams, it is possible to continuously match the engine‟s airflow demand to the inlet‟s airflow supply thereby reducing spillage and increasing propulsive efficiency. This research begins with a historical perspective of variable cycle engines and shows a logical progression to proposed architectures.
