In this study, a steady state performance analysis program was developed for a turbofan engine, and its performance was analyzed at installed conditions. For the purpose of evaluation, the developed program was compared with the performance data provided by the engine manufacturer. It was confirmed that the developed program was reliable because the results by the developed program were well agreed with those by the engine manufacturer within 3.5%. The non-linear GPA(Gas Path Analysis) program for performance diagnostics were developed, and selection of optimal measurement variables was studied. Furthermore, in order to investigate effects of the number and the kind of measurement variables, the non-linear GPA was analyzed with various measurement sets. Finally, the measurement parameters selected in the previous step were applied to the fault detection analysis of the 2-spool separate flow type turbofan engine.

Technical trends of propulsion system for small aircraft are investigated. Currently, most small aircraft are equipped with piston engine, turboprop and turbofan engines, and the technology development is going continuously. For piston engines, new diesel engines are arising besides gasoline engine. The diesel engines use relatively low-cost and easy to get fuel(Jet A), so the demand for small aircraft is getting increased, and new engines with high reliability and efficiency are being developed. For gas turbine engines, application of small turbofan is getting increased for newly arising VLJ market and the engine demand will be rapidly increased in the future. On the other hand, some electric propulsions without fossil fuels are being developed without high cost of fuel and environmental effects. In the future, propulsion system for small aircraft will be developed having enhancement of performance and efficiency with higher reliability and safety.

램젯 엔진을 장착한 미사일은 기존의 터보젯 이나 터보팬 엔진에 비해 압축기와 터빈과 같은 엔진 구성품이 없어 무게가 가볍고 초음속에서 저항도 적으며 고속의 비행영역에서 연료효율과 생존성능이 뛰어나기 때문에 차세대 미사일 추진 시스템으로서 세계 여러 국가에서 개발 및 운용이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 램젯 엔진은 충분한 램 효과를 얻어야 초기 점화가 가능하기 때문에 현재 개발되고 있는 대부분의 시스템은 최초 발사시 로켓 부스터에 의해 가속하고 로켓연료를 모두 소모하고난 후에 흡입구가 개방되어 램젯 엔진이 점화하는 방식을 취하고 있다.

An algorithm is realized for estimating the component fault and health diagnosis such as a deterioration. Based on the turbofan engine health diagnosis model, from the health parameters which are estimated by a real time tracking filter, the outliers are eliminated efficiently by an effective median filter to minimize an false alarm. The difference between the fault and deterioration trends is identified by the detection measure for abrupt change, thereby the clear diagnosis classifying the fault and the health condition is possible. The effectiveness of the algorithm for fault and health diagnosis is verified from the simulated results of engine component faults and deterioration.

Surge phenomenon can be occurred in a compressor when compressor performance of turbofan engine for an aircraft is changed considerably in a short time on the cases like take-off phase and changing of RPM from idle to maximum, because performance of aircraft engine is changed suddenly. This study is aimed to avoid surge in a compressor. Dynamic simulation in a compressor is modeled by simulink in specific condition. Fuel flow is control input, rpm and air mass flow are expressed in terms of transfer function. Surge margin is obtained by using compressor performance map from NPSS. VIGV(Variable Inlet Guide Vane) is controlled by PD controller with difference between surge margin and reference. Finally this paper verifies IGV can prevent surge phenomenon in a compressor.

In this work, a steady-state performance modeling and off-design performance analysis of the 2-spool separate-flow turbofan engine named (BR715-56) which is a power plant for the narrow body commercial aircraft is carried out for engine performance behaviors investigation and condition monitoring using a commercial code MATLAB/SIMULINK. Firstly, the engine component maps of fan, high pressure compressor, high pressure turbine and low pressure turbine are generated from similar component maps using the scaling method, and then the off-design performance simulation model is constructed by the mass flow matching and the work matching between components. The model is developed using SIMULINK, which has advantages of easy steady-stare and dynamic modelling and user friendly interface function. It is found that the off-design performance analysis results using the proposed model are well agreed with the performance analysis results by GASTURB at various operating conditions.

This study presents a detailed analysis of aircraft engine maintenance cost based on the relationships between engine performance and geometric parameters. Some trend equations based on the engine performance and maintenance database were developed for the estimation of shop-visit interval, work-scope, man-hours, material cost and Life Limited Part cost. The results show that this approach can give a more reasonable and detailed estimation of engine maintenance cost than older empirical methods.

During the preliminary design phase of aircraft development, it is necessary to evaluate many potential engine/airframe combinations to determine the best solution to given set of mission requirements and it is very important to establish a methodology to calculate precisely engine installed performance. It was carried out to calculate turbofan engine installed performance of a supersonic aircraft for a given engine/aircraft configuration. Thus "Thrust minus drag accounting system" was introduced to identify and calculate the elements of installed thrust or installed propulsive force by using the database based on wind tunnel test data. This paper describes the calculated results of installed thrust of turbofan engine for a supersonic aircraft. aircraft.
