1 Parametric Cycle Analysis of Real Turbojet Introduction Parametric cycle analysis of a real turbojet Parametric cycle analysis of a real turbojet with afterburner

2 Introduction Parametric cycle analysis of ideal gas turbine engine: Engine components are idealized and Working fluid is assumed to behave as a perfect gas with constant c p Analysis of engine performance trends Component Performance: Variation of specific heat with temperature and fuel/air ratio More realistic assumptions, e.g. component losses Developed figures of merit of various engine components Real Engines Parametric cycle analysis of real engines: Equations for different engine cycles Determine their performance Determine the effects of real components with losses Source: The Jet Engine (1986) by Rolls Royce plc,

3 Parametric Cycle Analysis of Real Engines Assume one-dimensional flow Similar cycle analysis as ideal engine except Variation of specific heats : c pc and c pt for upstream and downstream of the combustor respectively Inclusion of component losses, Mass flow of fuel through components Pressure at exhaust nozzle is not necessarily atmospheric Real Turbojet Source: Elements of Propulsion: Gas Turbines and Rockets by Jack D.

Mattingly Effect of e c on Turbojet Cycle R-1, Example 7.3 Mission consideration: Short range interceptor -Lowπ c preferred for high F/ṁ 0 as compressor size is small and weight is reduced As π c increases, the effect of engine losses increases. Optimum π c is affected by e c Long-range transport prefer high π c to give lower Sfor operating efficiency Source: Example 7.3 Elements of Propulsion: Gas Turbines and Rockets by Jack D. Mattingly

7 Effect of Nozzle Off-Design Conditions R-1, Example 7.3 π c = 16; e c = 0.92 Effect of slight exit pressure mismatch is small Source: Example 7.3 Elements of Propulsion: Gas Turbines and Rockets by Jack D. Mattingly Effect of Speed on Real Turbojet Note: thrust for real engine falls faster at high M 0 than f Source: Example 7.4 Elements of Propulsion: Gas Turbines and Rockets by Jack D. Mattingly

8 Effect of Speed on Real Turbojet R-1, Example 7.4 Real cycle S increases exponentially since thrust for real engine falls to zero at high M 0 before fdoes Thermal efficiency at high M 0 is zero for real engine but increases in ideal engine Source: Example 7.4 Elements of Propulsion: Gas Turbines and Rockets by Jack D. Mattingly Effects of Component Losses on Performance Performance Parameter Specific Thrust, Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption, S Fuel/Air Ratio, f Ideal Turbojet Maximum occur at a higher Goes to zero at high Lower S Decreases with increasing Lower f Real Turbojet Similar variation Similar magnitude Maximum occur at a lower (for same ) Goes to zero at high with lower Higher S Decreases to an minimum, then increases with increasing Increases with velocity, and rapidly towards infinity at high Higher f due to increase in c p, combustor inefficiency and higher combustor exit massflow ( + ) Propulsive Lower Slightly higher due to lower exhaust velocity Efficiency, Thermal Higher Lower Efficiency, Goes to zero at high for engine with high Overall Higher Lower due to lower Efficiency,

Mattingly Effects of Afterburning Afterburner increases both specific thrust and fuel consumption Magnitude of increases depend on π c π c is important in gas turbine engine design Mission type dictates π c choice Figure 6-6 Performance of Turbojet Engine with and w/o Afterburner Source: Elements of Propulsion: Gas Turbines and Rockets by Jack D.
