Performance analysis of the turboshaft engines for combined rotorcraft was executed. A tip jet and a ducted fan aircraft were selected for combined rotorcraft application. Gasturb 12 software was used for turboshaft engine performance analysis. In the results, maximum required power for the tip jet engine is about 1,600 hp class and maximum required power for the ducted fan engine is about 1,000 hp class at the required aircraft mission. This is due to the additional power of the auxiliary compressor to get a bleed air mass flow rate for the tip jet operation. At the same time, fuel consumption of the tip jet aircraft is 2.8 times larger than ducted fan case. Therefore ducted fan type aircraft is more efficient than tip jet aircraft in terms of fuel economy.

In this work, a steady-state performance modeling and off-design performance analysis of the 2-spool separate jet 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.

In this study, performance analysis modeling of two spool mixed flow type turbofan engine according to steady-state and transient is performed. The target engine is selected as F100-PW-229 from Pratt & Whitney, and main engine components including fan, high pressure compressors, combustion, high pressure turbines, low pressure turbines, mixer, convergent-divergent nozzle are modeled. The cooling effect of turbine through secondary flow path are considered in engine simulation model. We develop in-house Matlab/Simulink-based engine performance analysis program capable of analyzing internal engine state and compare it with GASTURB which is generally used as a commercial engine analysis program.

소, 중형 상업용 항공기나 초등 훈련기용으로 많이 이용되고 있는 터보프롭엔진의 성능해석을 위한 프로그램을 개발하였다. 대상엔진으로는 국내 최초의 초등훈련기인 KT-1의 추진기관인 PT6A-62엔진을 선정하였고 프로그램의 검증을 위하여 지상정지조건에서의 성능, 고도에 따른 성능 및 비행마하수에 따른 성능, 그리고 고도와 비행마하수를 동시에 고려한 성능 등을 상용 프로그램인 GASTURB 및 제작사에서 제시한 성능데이터와 그 해석결과를 비교하였다. 개발된 프로그램을 이용하여 비행마하수 0.2, 100% 동력터빈 회전수에서 가스발생기 회전수를 75%에서 105%까지 5% 간격으로 나누어 부분부하 성능해석을 수행하였다. 또한 연료유량의 변화에 대한 천이상태 성능해석도 수행하였다.

초등훈련기 KT-1의 주 추진기관인 터보프롭엔진(PT6A-62)의 정상상태성능해석 프로그램을 개발 하였다. 비행 마하수 0의 조건에서 장착손실을 고려하여 정상상태 성능해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과는 엔진 제작사에서 제시한 성능 및 상용 정상상태 성능해석 프로그램인 GASTURB와 비교하였다. 해석결과 공기유량, 축마력은 고도상승시 감소함을 나타내었고 비 연료 소모율은 미소한 상승을 확인할 수 있었다. 장착조건과 비 장착 조건의 비교 결과 엔진 전체 손실이 증가할수록 축 마력은 감소하고 비 연료 소모율은 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the installed performance of the PW206C turbo shaft engine used in the development of the smart UAV(Unmanned Ariel Vehicle) by KARI(Korean Aerospace Research Institute). It mainly aims to investigate performance behavior at installed conditions using both inlet and exhaust losses generated by CFD analysis of the ducts. The ways employed to be able to analyze the performance extensively were mainly rallied out by performing design point analysis of the engine where the performance simulation results from the commercial program 'GASTURB 9' used for simulation were used as inlet boundary condition for the ducts in CFD program The use of CFD tool involve modeling of the ducts to conform with the stipulated shape and sizes as defined by KARI with a grid density that allows reasonable flow characteristics applicable to aircraft components. Respective values of Shaft horse power obtained by varying flight Mach number, Gas generator RPM and Altitude considering several losses inclusive of those estimated by use of CFD tool were then plotted at three conditions with the ECS-OFF, ECS-MAX and at un-installed condition. Reasonable results were obtained as a result of using computational fluid dynamics that can hence be justified as an alternative tool for use in future flow analysis of engine and components.

A performance simulation program for the turboprop engine (PT6A-62), which is the power plant of the first Korean indigenous basic trainer KT-1, was developed for performance prediction, development of an EHMS (Engine Health Monitoring System) and the flight simulator. Characteristics of components including compressors, turbines, power turbines and the constant speed propeller were required for the steady state and transient performance analysis with on and off design point analysis. In most cases, these were substituted for what scaled from similar engine components'characteristics with the scaling law. The developed 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 such as mass flow rate, compressor pressure ratio, fuel flow rate, specific fuel consumption and turbine inlet temperature were discussed to evaluate validity of the developed program at various cases. The first case was the sea level static standard condition and other cases were considered with various altitudes, flight velocities and part loads with the range between idle and 105% rotational speed of the gas generator. In the transient analysis, the Continuity of Mass Flow Method was utilized under the condition that mass stored between components is ignored and the flow compatibility is satisfied, and the Modified Euler Method was used for integration of the surplus torque. The transient performance analysis for various fuel schedules was performed. When the fuel step increase was considered, the overshoot of the turbine inlet temperature occurred. However, in case of ramp increase of the fuel longer than step increase of the fuel, the overshoot of the turbine inlet temperature was effectively reduced.

The details of engine manufacturer's engine simulations are generally kept secret and only those parameters that are used for control purposes are accessible to users. Hence, there is often only a limited amount of data accessible for creating a performance model of the engine. The performance modeling of a low bypass turbofan engine for supersonic aircraft is described herein. The Pratt and Whitney F100-PW-229 engine has been employed for low bypass turbofan engine performance modeling. Published data from the open literature are used as initial data for building the F100-PW-229 engine performance model. The unknown components' characteristics were estimated by optimization of parameters using by adaptive random search method and sensitivity analysis with respect to design variables. The engine performance model was evaluated to be properly constructed through the comparison of result of engine performance analysis and engine deck data.
