In this paper, controller Propose to prevent compressor surge and improve the transient response of the fuel flow control system of turbojet engine. Turbojet engine controller is designed by applying Artificial Neural Network PID control algorithm and make an inference by applying Artificial Neural Network Error Back Propagation Algorithm. To prevent any surge or a flame out event during the engine acceleration or deceleration, the ANN PID controller effectively controls the fuel flow input of the control system. ANN PID results are used as the fuel flow control inputs to prevent compressor surge and flame-out for turbo-jet engine and the controller is designed to converge to the desired speed quickly and safely. Using MATLAB to perform computer simulations verified the performance of the proposed controller. Response characteristics pursuant to the gain were analyzed by simulation.

Infrared signal and exhaust gas temperature distribution with bypass ratio were measured using a micro turbojet engine. Micro turbojet engine was modified to simulate the turbofan engine behaviour. Core flow was simulated using the jet flow of the micro turbojet engine, and high-pressure air was supplied to its external duct to simulate bypass flow. The effects of bypass ratios (0.5, 1.0, and 1.4) were examined. The experimental results indicate that the infrared signal decreases as the bypass ratio increases. And also gas temperature decreases with bypass ratios. Additionally, Schlieren visualization of the exhaust gas plume was conducted. From the exhaust gas temperature distribution and Schlieren images, the structure of jet plume with various bypass ratios was understood.

A core engine for pre-cooled turbojet engines is designed and its component performances are examined both by CFD analyses and experiments. The engine is designed for a flight demonstration of precooled turbojet engine cycle. The engine uses gas hydrogen as fuel. The external boundary including measurement devices is set within $23cm{\times}23cm$ of rectangular cross section, in order to install the engine downstream of the air intake. The rotation speed is 80000 rpm at design point. Mixed flow compressor is selected to attain high pressure ratio and small diameter by single stage. Reverse type main combustor is selected to reduce the engine diameter and the rotating shaft length. The temperature at main combustor is determined by the temperature limit of non-cooled turbine. High loading turbine is designed to attain high pressure ratio by single stage. The firing test of the core engine is conducted using components of small pre-cooled turbojet engine. Gas hydrogen is injected into the main burner and hot gas is generated to drive the turbine. Air flow rate of the compressor can be modulated by a variable geometry exhaust nozzle, which is connected downstream of the core engine. As a result, 75% rotation speed is attained without hazardous vibration and heat damage. Aerodynamic performances of both compressor and turbine are obtained and evaluated independently.

In the study of control technique for a turbojet engine model, the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy logic controller has been designed based on the model identification by the well designed PI controlled system through T-S neuro-fuzzy inference system. To enhance this designed controller, those procedures are proposed that certainty factors are adopted to each rule of objective groups which are classified by the fuzzy C-Means algorithm and the satisfaction degrees are matched to meet the objectives. This proposed technique shows its feasibility by upgrading performances of the previously well-designed T-S fuzzy controller.

The BEM for linear elastic stress analysis is applied to the highly rotating axisymmetric body problem which also involves the thermoelastic effects due to steady-state thermal conduction. The axisymmetric BEM formulation is briefly summarized and an alternative approach for transforming the volume integrals associated with such body force kernels into equivalent boundary integrals is described in a way of using the concept of inner product and vector identity. A discretization scheme for higher order BE is outlined for numerical treatment of the resulting boundary integral equations, and it is consequently illustrated by determining the stress distributions of the turbine rotor disk of the small turbojet engine(ADD 500) for which a FEM stress solution has been furnished by author.

In this paper, we designed an intelligent fault detection and isolation algorithm for improving reliability of turbojet engine controller. The proposed method uses multilayer neural network to detect and accommodate sensor failure from the functional relationship of dissimilar sensors. Signals of failure sensors are estimated from neural network trained by backpropagation algorithm. Simulation results on the state-space model of a turbojet engine illustrate that the proposed algorithm achieves the desired performance.

In this paper are described recent studies about variable nozzles, that are a rectangular type nozzle and an axisymmetric type nozzle, of the precooled turbojet engine(S-engine) which are developed for the demonstration of the key technologies for the propulsion system of the hypersonic airplane and the first stage propulsion of the TSTO space plane. For the rectangular nozzle, three types of C-shaped carbon/carbon composite cowls which includes subscale model of the precooled turbojet engine are fabricated and the fine attachment to the ramp is confirmed. For the firing of the S-engine, stainless steel cowl with concrete heat insulator are fabricated and tested for 20 sec. Axisymmetric variable plug nozzle which is made of C/C material is fabricated and pressurized by the cold flow test. The axisymmetric plug nozzle can be operative up to 0.57 MPa of nozzle inlet pressure.

A slinger combustor which can be applied to micro turbojet engine has been developed with the combustor rig test. A rotating fuel injector with high speed rpm was designed, manufactured and tested to apply into slinger combustor through spray test and adequate droplet size and spray distribution were achieved. The CFD was used to analyze internal flow of the combustor. We found out that the combustor shows 11.2% of pressure loss and 99.8% of combustion efficiency at full combustor rig test.

A study is performed for the effective detection method of a fault which is occurred during operation in a small turbojet engine with non-linear characteristics used by unmanned air vehicle. For this study the non-linear dynamic model of the engine is derived from transient thermodynamic cycle analysis. Also for inducing real operation conditions the controller is developed associated with unscented Kalman filter to estimate noises. Sequential probability ratio test is introduced as a real time method to detect a fault which is manipulated for simulation as a malfunction of rotational speed sensor contaminated by large amount of noise. The method applied to the fault detection during operation verifies its effectiveness and high feasibility by showing good and definite decision performances of the fault.

Infrared (IR) stealth technology to protect aircraft from heat-tracking missiles is a very important factor in the development of military aircraft. In this study, the intensities of signal generation were compared by observing the IR signals generated from the plumes of the engine and identifying them for each measurement angle. To simulate a jet engine applied to an actual aircraft, a small turbojet engine was constructed, the infrared signal characteristics for each wavelength were identified according to the measurement angle, and the total infrared radiance was derived by integrating the signal for each wavelength. Through this study, we intend to present basic data for improving the infrared stealth performance of aircraft.
