ITB(Interstage Turbine Burner) is a kind of afterburner locating between HPT(High Pressure Turbine) and LPT(Low Pressure Turbine). The objective of this study is to use the engine's design parameters as input parameters to obtain engine's performance parameters, such as specific thrust and its thrust specific fuel consumption. This study analyzes the performance of Turbofan engines with ITB and compares the performance between Turbofan engines with ITB and Turbofan engines without ITB. Results of this study can verify the advantages of Turbofan engine with ITB in term of thrust, efficiency.

The infrared signature that is associated with an aircraft is mainly caused by heat released from the engine and the exhaust plume. In this study, a test-system was designed to observe the overall infrared signature characteristics of a turbofan engine during operation under ground running conditions and the infrared reduction features that result from different exhaust nozzle configurations. A test stand was designed for the 1400 lbf class turbofan engine that included a bell-mouth type intake, fuel supply system, a measurement system, and a data acquisition/control system. The design and verification of the test system were conducted so that the basic nozzle and various 2D nozzles could be applied to study the infrared signature produced by a turbofan engine exhaust.

With the increase in global air travel, aircraft noise has become a major public issue. In modern aircraft engines, only a small proportion of the air that passes through the whole engine actually goes through the core of the engine, the rest passes around it down the bypass duct. A successful method of reducing noise further, even in ultra-high bypass ratio engines, is to absorb the sound created within the engine. Acoustically absorbent material or acoustic liners have desirable acoustic attenuation properties and thus are commonly used to reduce noise in jet engines. The liners typically are placed upstream and downstream of the rotors (fans) to absorb sound before it propagates out of the inlet and exhaust ducts. Noise attenuation can be dramatically improved by increasing the area over which a noise reducing material is applied and by placing the material closer to the noise source. In this paper we will briefly discuss acoustic liner applications in modern turbofan engines.

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.

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.

The present study is aimed to develop an integrated performance analysis approach for the application of a compressor with variable inlet guide vane (VIGV) and vairable stator vane (VSV) in a small turbofan engine. For the integrated analysis approach, an engine performance analysis program, NPSS and a computer program used for predicting of axial flow compressor performance based on stage stacking method, STGSTK were linked with an optimisation package, Isight. This enables off-design performance analysis for the turbofan engine with VIGV and VSV hence provides the capability to predict stable operation condition of the engine with acceptable surge margin.

There is a growing interest in engine diagnostic technology for gas turbine engines. An engine simulation program, precisely simulating the engine performance, is required in order to apply it to the engine diagnosis technology for engine health monitoring. In particular, the simulation program can predict not only design point performance but also off-design point and partial load performance in accurate. So the engine simulation program for the 2-spool separate flow type turbofan engine was developed and the JT9D-7R4G engine of PW(Pratt & Whitney) was analyzed. The steady-sate performance analysis is conducted at both design and off-design points in flight path and the differences between analysis results of takeoff and cruise conditions are compared. The effect of Reynold's correction method was analyzed as a scaling method of the engine component performance. The simulation results was compared with NPSS.

The three dimensional numerical method using actuator disk blade row model is applied for calculating the flowfield interaction between an outlet guide vane (OGV) and a pylon in a typical civil turbofan engine. The static pressure distortion produced by the pylon is decaying upstream but is still felt at the turbofan exit, and hence can significantly affect the fan performance. The OGV amplifies the static pressure perturbation decaying upstream. The calculation results show that cyclic OGV which consists of three types of blades with different exit angles can reduce more than half of the asymmetries of total pressure and static pressure propagated through the OGV with uniform exit blade angle.

Parametric cycle analysis of a dual-spool, mixed exhaust turbofan engine with turbine blade cooling were described to investigate the effect of turbine blade cooling on the engine performance such as specific thrust and thrust specific fuel consumption. Coolant of low pressure turbine triggers high engine performance loss and cooling effect loss in high pressure turbine. Therefore low pressure turbine coolant should be much more considered for effective design.
