II ABSTRACT Centrifugal compressors are widely spread throughout the industry, with important applications in the transportation (aircraft engines, auxiliary power units), fuel cell systems, etc. All dynamic compressors are prone to instabilities at significantly lower mass flow rates than nominal, which restricts the useable operating range. In order to increase efficiency, stability and operational life, utilization requires finding solutions that are able to meet the requirements of the supplied downstream system while maintaining the compressor within the stable zone. Historically, the surge avoidance systems have been operated far from the surge margin, due to the lack of the possibilities for sensing the onset of surge and reacting on the conditions. As in electronics more sophisticated developments have been reached, the actively controlled surge suppression has been introduced in the late 1980’s. Over the past more than twenty years, most researches have focused on the improvement of existing systems, equipping them with more effective regulators, etc. The aim of the present dissertation is to find methods, which are not currently used as active surge suppression, but can meet the requirement of such application. The decision on the devices to be developed has to be based on a comprehensive analysis of the literature, in order to get familiarized with the up-to-date solutions in this field. With the selected methods, the investigation has to include a preliminary survey based on one-dimensional mathematical model, which is able to supply relevant information about the general behavior of the present devices. The software is written in MATLAB in order to extend the possibilities of calculations and visual interpretation. This has to be followed by detailed numerical simulations in three dimensions, in order to get information about the flow field in full particulars. For the CFD simulations, the ANSYS commercial software is selected, which is available at the Department. Another important step in the research is the design of a control system. Based on thorough survey of the related literature, a linear quadratic (LQ) optimal regulator has been chosen to develop and investigate. The simulation of compression system dynamic behavior with the investigated surge suppression device is realized in MATLAB Simulink environment as it offers extensive mathematical apparatus to solve similar problems in engineering. The previously mentioned parts of the work should also be supported by experimental research; hence a compressor test bench has been developed and equipped with a sophisticated data acquisition system. As a conclusion to the investigation, the achieved results are detailed and evaluated in order to ascertain the applicability of the chosen devices, draw consequences from the CFD simulations and find the possible ways of further improvement of the topic.

  • Limits to Principles of Electric Flight
    AIRCRAFT DESIGN AND SYSTEMS GROUP (AERO) Limits to Principles of Electric Flight Dieter Scholz Hamburg University of Applied Sciences https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4072283 Deutscher Luft- und Raumfahrtkongress 2019 German Aerospace Congress 2019 Darmstadt, Germany, 30.09. - 02.10.2019 Abstract Purpose – This presentation takes a critical look at various electric air mobility concepts. With a clear focus on requirements and first principles applied to the technologies in question, it tries to bring inflated expectations down to earth. Economic, ecologic and social (noise) based well accepted evaluation principles are set against wishful thinking. Design/methodology/approach – Aeronautical teaching basics are complemented with own thoughts and explanations. In addition, the results of past research and student projects are applied to the topic. Find ings – Electric air mobility may become useful in some areas of aviation. Small short-range general aviation aircraft may benefit from battery-electric or hybrid-electric propulsion. Urban air mobility in large cities will give time advantages to super-rich people, but mass transportation in cities will require a public urban transport system. Battery- electric passenger aircraft are neither economic nor ecologic. How overall advantages can be obtained from turbo- electric distributed propulsion (without batteries) is not clear. Maybe turbo-hydraulic propulsion has some weight advantages over the electric approach. Research limitations/implications – Research findings are from basic considerations only. A detailed evaluation of system principles on a certain aircraft platform may lead to somewhat different results. Practical implications – The discussion about electric air mobility concepts may get more factual. Investors may find some of the information provided easy to understand and helpful for their decision making.

BELL 214B-1 (HELICOPTER), C-GTWV LILLOOET, BRITISH COLUMBIA, 20 NM NW 29 JULY 2010 The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) investigated this occurrence for the purpose of advancing transportation safety. It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. Aviation Investigation Report Loss of Engine Power and Landing Rollover Transwest Helicopters Ltd. Bell 214B-1 (Helicopter), C-GTWV Lillooet, British Columbia, 20 nm NW 29 July 2010 Report Number A10P0242 Summary The Transwest Helicopters Ltd. Bell 214B-1 helicopter (registration C-GTWV, serial number 28048), with 2 pilots onboard, was engaged in firefighting operations approximately 20 nautical miles northwest of Lillooet, British Columbia. At 1124 Pacific Daylight Time, after refilling the water bucket, the helicopter was on approach to its target near a creek valley. As the helicopter slowed and started to descend past a ridgeline into the creek valley, the engine lost power. The pilot-in-command, seated in the left-hand seat, immediately turned the helicopter left to climb back over the ridgeline to get to a clearing, released the water bucket and the 130-foot long-line from the belly hook, and descended toward an open area to land. The helicopter touched down hard on uneven, sloping terrain, and pitched over the nose. When the advancing main-rotor blade contacted the ground, the airframe was in a near-vertical, nose-down attitude, which then rotated the fuselage, causing it to land on the left side.

  • Design of a Business Jet
    Design of a Business Jet a project presented to The Faculty of the Department of Aerospace Engineering San José State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering by Nicholas Dea August 2018 approved by Dr. Nikos Mourtos Faculty Advisor Chapter 1 Introductory Literature Review 1.1 Motivation Currently, there are several factors that contribute to the negative connotations that come with air travel. Some issues that are most often negatively associated with flying are personal space and safety. These issues are at the forefront of today’s topics as airlines are doing their best to maximize profits, while leaving passengers in the rear-view mirror. One example of a reduction in one’s personal space would be in the journal article presented by Govindaraju and Crossley [1]. In their observations and analysis, they determined that the most profitable travel for airlines were not on large passenger transports with maximized seating, but rather with smaller regional jets whom are able to fly shorter distances, yet make a higher number of trips between the destinations. Others may argue that a reduction in personal space may be a hinderance on emergency evacuations as the volume of passengers that must exit the plane in confined spaces will take considerably more time than fewer passengers in wider more open aisles and seats. Safety refers to a multitude of factors, for instance, security checkpoints as well as turbulence or airplane mechanical or technical issues. Safety is an issue as the public and those setting the regulations have a distance between the two as to what the objective of the security measures are meant for, as discussed in the article by David Caskey [2].

  • Geared Turbofan - Wikipedia 7/9/20, 1010 AM
    Geared turbofan - Wikipedia 7/9/20, 10)10 AM Geared turbofan The geared turbofan is a type of turbofan aircraft engine, with a gearbox between the fan and the low Geared turbofan pressure shaft to spin each at optimum angular velocities. Contents Technology Engines Tentatives Geared turbofan. [1]: Fan. [2]: Gearbox. See also References Notes Bibliography Technology In a conventional turbofan, a single shaft (the "low-pressure" or LP shaft) connects the fan, the low- pressure compressor and the low-pressure turbine (a second concentric shaft connects the high- pressure compressor and high-pressure turbine). In this configuration, the maximum tip speed for the larger radius fan limits the rotational speed for the LP shaft and thus the LP compressor and turbine. At high bypass ratios (and thus high radius ratios) the tip speeds of the LP turbine and LP compressor must be relatively low, which means extra compressor and turbine stages are required to keep the average stage loadings and, therefore, overall component efficiencies to an acceptable level. In a geared turbofan, a planetary reduction gearbox between the fan and the LP shaft allows the latter to run at a higher rotational speed thus enabling fewer stages to be used in both the LP turbine and the LP compressor, increasing efficiency and reducing weight. However, some energy will be lost as heat in the gear mechanism and weight saved on turbine and compressor stages is partly offset by that of the gearbox. There are manufacturing cost and reliability implications as well. The lower fan speed allows higher bypass ratios, leading to reduced fuel consumption and much reduced noise.
