After modeling an aircraft turboprop engine using SIMULINK$\circledR$, performance simulation of PT6A-62 engine, which is main power plant of KT-1, was performed. For validation, performance parameters of the SIMULIINK model were compared with the simulated results by GASTURB program. It was confirm that the results by the SIMULINK model were well agreed with those by GASTURB within 1.07%, It was assumed that installation losses were bleed-air exteraction with a range from 0% to 5%, and power for accessories with a range from 0 to 20hp. In this investigation, it was found that the shafthorsepower was decreased by maxium 0.68%, but specific fuel consumption ratio was not effected nearly by these losses.

The purpose of this study is to analyze both the design and off design performance simulation of the PW206C turbo shaft engine used in the development of the smart UAV (Unmanned Ariel Vehicle) by KARI(Korean Aerospace Research Institute). Its mainly aims to investigate performance behavior at the un-installed and installed conditions. The ways employed to be able to analyze the performance extensively were mainly carried out by comparison of performance simulation results from both the commercial program 'GASTURB 9' using compressor maps generated by Genetic algorithms (GAs) or Scaling Method, and the engine manufacturer's program 'EEPP'. Off-design performance analysis was performed through matching of both mass flow and work between engine components. The set of performance simulations of the developed analytical models was performed by a commercial program package (GASTURB 9) that provides great flexibility in the choice of independent variables of the overall system. The results from the simulations are used to compare turbo shaft engine (PW206C) performance data obtained by the EEPP. At un-installed condition, it was found that the results with the compressor map generated by GAs were relatively agreed well than those with the compressor map generated by the Scaling Method. The performance calculation results using the compressor map generated by GAs were compared at un-installed condition and installed conditions with ECS-off and ECS-Max in variation of altitude, gas generator speed and flight speed.

This paper dealt with the performance modeling of a low bypass turbofan engine for supersonic aircraft. The Pratt and Whitney F100-PW-229 engine has been employed for low bypass turbofan engine performance modeling. Generally, the complete commercially-classified informations concerning the engine are unknown. The components' generic characteristics and assumptions made in order to build the F100-PW-229 engine performance model using by the published data from the open literature as basic data are described. Through the comparison of engine performance model's analysis data using Gasturb11 with engine deck data showed that the engine performance model was evaluated to be properly constructed.

A steady state performance simulation and diagnostics program for the turboprop engine (PT6A-62), which is the power plant of the first developed military basic trainer KT-1 in Republic of Korea, was developed. The developed steady state performance analysis program was evaluated with the performance data provided by the engine manufacturer and with analysis results of GASTURB program, which is well known for the performance simulation of gas turbines. Performance parameters were discussed to evaluate validity of the developed program at various cases such as altitude, flight velocity and part load variation. GPA(Gas Pass Analysis) allows engine performance deterioration to be identified at the module level in terms of reduction in component efficiencies and changes in mass flow. In order to find optimal instrument set to detect the physical faults such as fouling, erosion and corrosion, a gas path analysis approach is utilized. This study was performed in two cases for selection of optimal measurement parameters. One case was considered with the effect of instrument number by changing independent parameter number. The other case was performed with selection of independent parameter set. According to the analysis results, the optimal measurement parameters selected were eight dependent variables such as shaft horsepower, fuel flow rate, compressor exit pressure and temperature, compressor turbine inlet pressure and temperature and power turbine inlet pressure and temperature.

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.

A performacne simulation model of the PT6A-62 turboprop engine using the $SIMULINK^R$ was proposed to predict transient and steady state behaviors. The $SIMULINK^R$ has several advantages such as user-friendliness due to the GUI(Graphic User Interfaces) and ease in the modification of the computer program. The $SIMULINK^R$ model consists of subsystems to represent engine gas path components such as flight initial subsystem, compressor subsystem, burner subsystem, compressor turbine subsystem, power turbine, exhaust nozzle subsystem and integrator subsystem. In addition to subsystems, there are search subsystems to find an appropriate operating point by scaling from the 2-D components look-up table, Gasprop Subsystem to calculate the gas property precisely. In case of steady state validation, performance results analyzed by the proposed $SIMULINK^R$ model were agreed well with the analysis results by the commercial GASTURB program. Moreover in validation of the transient model, it was found that performance simulation results by the proposed model were reasonable agreement with analysis results by the well-proved computer program using FORTRAN.

This paper presents a preliminary study of a convergent divergent nozzle in an afterburning turbofan engine of a supersonic aircraft engine. In order to design a convergent divergent nozzle, cycle model of a low bypass afterburning turbofan engine of which thrust class is 29,000 lbf at a sea level static condition is established. The cycle analysis at the design point is conducted by Gasturb 12 software and one dimensional gas properties at a downstream direction of the turbine are obtained. The dimension and configuration of an model turbofan engine are derived from take-off operation with wet reheat condition. The off-design cycle calculation is conducted at the all flight envelope on the maximum flight Mach number of 2.0 and maximum flight altitude of 15,000 m.
