Book excerpt: Here is a rounded picture of the aircraft gas turbine power plant. Stressing basic theory, it offers an authorative source of information on the design of the components, the calculation, analysis, and prediction of performance, the correction of test results, and the presentation of performance data. Much of the material applies to stationary as well as to aircraft power plants. The book concentrates on fundamental principles which are important regardless of changes in design details and adopts throughout the practice of expressing equations in terms of the isentropic factor X. This method results in considerable simplification of equations and greater ease of calculation (tables of X are provided in text).

This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary human activities that release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere are the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil) to generate electricity, the provision of energy for transportation, and as a consequence of some industrial processes. Although aviation CO2 emissions only make up approximately 2.0 to 2.5 percent of total global annual CO2 emissions, research to reduce CO2 emissions is urgent because (1) such reductions may be legislated even as commercial air travel grows, (2) because it takes new technology a long time to propagate into and through the aviation fleet, and (3) because of the ongoing impact of global CO2 emissions. Commercial Aircraft Propulsion and Energy Systems Research develops a national research agenda for reducing CO2 emissions from commercial aviation. This report focuses on propulsion and energy technologies for reducing carbon emissions from large, commercial aircraftâ€" single-aisle and twin-aisle aircraft that carry 100 or more passengersâ€"because such aircraft account for more than 90 percent of global emissions from commercial aircraft. Moreover, while smaller aircraft also emit CO2, they make only a minor contribution to global emissions, and many technologies that reduce CO2 emissions for large aircraft also apply to smaller aircraft. As commercial aviation continues to grow in terms of revenue-passenger miles and cargo ton miles, CO2 emissions are expected to increase. To reduce the contribution of aviation to climate change, it is essential to improve the effectiveness of ongoing efforts to reduce emissions and initiate research into new approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method utilizing precalculated solutions graphically presented for calculating subsonic and supersonic ram-jet thrust coefficients and other important quantities is presented with the associated equations and graphs. Using the assumption of constant values of specific-heat ratio and gas constant equal to those of standard air, the thrust-coefficient calculation has been reduced to a few simple operations. Correction methods are presented to account for variations in specific-heat ratio and gas constant. The correction to the thrust coefficient for a typical set of operating conditions may be of the order of 5 to 10 percent.

Arnaiz and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deficiencies in established techniques of measuring aircraft thrust in flight led to the application of the gas generator method of calculating engine thrust to the XB-70-1 airplane. A series of tests on a ground static-thrust stand [were]performed on the airplane to establish at ground static conditions the accuracy of this method, to measure the installed thrust of the YJ93-GE-3 engine, and to determine the effect of instrumentation errors and nonuniform flows at the engine compressor face on the thrust calculation. Tests with an aerodynamically choked inlet, an opened inlet-bypass system, and varying combinations of operating engines were also conducted. Results showed that the accuracy of the gas generator method was ±2 percent for the normal operation of the XB-70-1 airplane at ground static conditions and for the upper 70 percent of the engine's throttle range. They also showed that the effect of individual instrument errors on the thrust calculation was reduced because of the large number of measurements and that abnormally high inlet flow distortion affects the thrust calculation. When corrected for inlet losses, the installed thrust of the YJ93-GE-3 engine agreed favorably with the engine manufacturer's uninstalled estimated thrust for all power settings except those at the low end.--P.

This book was released on 1966 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An approximate method for calculating climb and acceleration performance of an air-breathing aircraft has been developed. Basically, the method involves linearization of the equations of motion to obtain closed-form expressions for the desired performance parameters. These expressions are applied over finite velocity intervals where the aerodynamic, propulsion, and flight-path parameters are assumed to be constant. The method is extended by a rapidly convergent iteration procedure to estimate the climb performance for a flight path limited by sonic-boom considerations. Typical examples are presented where the performance is estimated for an air-breathing boost mission to hypersonic speeds and for a complete supersonic-transport mission. The examples illustrate the simplicity of the method and show that the estimated performance is in good agreement with the results of a numerical integration of the equations of motion. The application of the approximate method to these examples indicates the utility of the method for producing performance estimates suitable for preliminary airframe design, sizing studies, propulsion-system evaluation, and cursory heat-transfer and inlet-flow-field determinations along a flight path. In order to increase the utility of the method further, nomograms are presented which provide rapid solutions to the approximate performance equations.

This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The P404-GF-400 Powered F/A-18A High Alpha Research Vehicle (HARV) was used to examine the impact of inlet-generated total-pressure distortion on estimating levels of engine airflow. Five airflow estimation methods were studied. The Reference Method was a fan corrected airflow to fan corrected speed calibration from an uninstalled engine test. In-flight airflow estimation methods utilized the average, or individual, inlet duct static- to total-pressure ratios, and the average fan-discharge static-pressure to average inlet total-pressure ratio. Correlations were established at low distortion conditions for each method relative to the Reference Method. A range of distorted inlet flow conditions were obtained from -10 deg. to +60 deg. angle of attack and -7 deg. to +11 deg. angle of sideslip. The individual inlet duct pressure ratio correlation resulted in a 2.3 percent airflow spread for all distorted flow levels with a bias error of -0.7 percent. The fan discharge pressure ratio correlation gave results with a 0.6 percent airflow spread with essentially no systematic error. Inlet-generated total-pressure distortion and turbulence had no significant impact on the P404-GE400 engine airflow pumping. Therefore, a speed-flow relationship may provide the best airflow estimate for a specific engine under all flight conditions. Williams, J. G. and Steenken, W. G. and Yuhas, A. J.
