Multistage Axial Compressor

The work presents a procedure to determine the design parameters of multistage axial compressor (MAC) rows, the parameters optimum from the point of view to assure the best integrated indices of gas turbine engine (GTE) both at the design and off-design operation mode. Effectiveness of the proposed approach has been demonstrated with regards to solving the problems of optimum contouring by the radius of 7 rows of 4-stage fan included in a two-shaft turbofan. For the examples under consideration respective problems of non-linear programming have been set whose dimensionality reached up to 63 of the design parameters of fan blade rows. It is shown, that the requirement to provide the best engine characteristics, integrated matching both GTE component parts (in our case these are compressor blade rows) and integrated characteristics of components included in an engine is of more importance than assuring the highest efficiency of separate components under consideration.

This paper describes the aerodynamic design and analysis of a high-pressure, single-stage axial flow turbine suitable for small gas turbine engine application using computational methods. The specifications of turbine were based on the need of a typical high-pressure compressor and geometric restrictions of small gas turbine engine. Baseline design parameters such as flow coefficient, stage loading coefficient are close to 0.23 and 1.22 respectively with maximum flow expansion in the NGV rows. In the preliminary design mode, the meanline approach is used to generate the turbine flow path and the design point performance is achieved by considering three blade sections at hub, mean and tip using the AMDC+KO+MK+BSM loss models to meet the design constraints. An average exit swirl angle of less than 5 degrees is achieved leading to minimum losses in the stage. Also, NGV and rotor blade numbers were chosen based on the optimum blade solidity. Blade profile is redesigned using the results from blade-to-blade analysis and through-flow analysis based on an enhanced Dawes BTOB3D flow solver. Using PbCFD (Pushbutton CFD) and commercially available CFD software ANSYS-CFX, aero-thermodynamic parameters like pressure ratios, aerodynamic power, and efficiencies are computed and these results are compared with one another. The boundary conditions, convergence criterion, and turbulence model used in CFD computations are set uniform for comparison with 8 per cent turbulence intensity. Grid independence study is performed at design point to optimize the grid density for off-design performance predictions. ANSYS-CFX and PbCFD have predicted higher efficiency of 3.4% and 1.2% respectively with respect to targeted efficiency of 89 per cent.

Turbine Engine

Aero Gas Turbine engines power aircrafts for civil transport application as well as for military fighter jets. Jet pipe casing assembly is one of the critical components of such an Aero Gas Turbine engine. The objective of the casing is to carry out the required aerodynamic performance with a simultaneous structural performance. The Jet pipe casing assembly located in the rear end of the engine would, in case of fighter jet, consist of an After Burner also called as reheater which is used for thrust augmentation to meet the critical additional thrust requirement as demanded by the combat environment in the war field. The combustion volume for the After burner operation together with the aerodynamic conditions in terms of pressure, temperature and optimum air velocity is provided by the Jet pipe casing. While meeting the aerodynamic requirements, the casing is also expected to meet the structural requirements. The casing carries a Convergent-Divergent Nozzle in the downstream side (at the rear end) and in the upstream side the casing is attached with a rear mount ring which is an interface between engine and the airframe. The mechanical design parameters involving Strength reserve factors, Fatigue Life, Natural Frequencies along with buckling strength margins are assessed while the Jet pipe casing delivers the aerodynamic outputs during the engine operation. A three dimensional non linear Finite Element analysis of the Jet pipe casing assembly is carried out, considering the up & down stream aerodynamics together with the mechanical boundary conditions in order to assess the Mechanical design parameters.

The effect of the main design parameters of the aero gas turbine engine cycle, namely combustion temperature and compression pressure ratio, on the specific performance values is discussed. The resulting development trend has been of essential influence on the technology. Relevant approaches are outlined. The efforts relating to weight and manufacturing expense are also indicated. In the design of aero gas turbine engines increasing consideration is given to the specific flight mission requirements, such as for instance by the introduction of the by-pass principle. Therefore direct application of aero gas turbine engines for ship propulsion without considerable modifications, as has been practiced in the past, is not considered very promising for the future. Nevertheless, there are possibilities to take advantage of aero gas turbine engine developments for ship propulsion systems. Appropriate approaches are discussed. With the experience obtained from aero gas turbine engines that will enter service in the early seventies it should be possible to develop marine gas turbine engines achieving consumptions and lifes that are competitive with those of advanced diesel units.

Procedure for the stochastic optimization of design parameters of gas turbine engine components for a prescribed level of production technology is discussed. Such combined criteria of the stochastic optimization as effectiveness-probability of realizing a design of an intricate technical object are proposed.

There are also demonstrated a possibility of a significant increase in probability to realize in actual practice the design, obtained in stochastic setting, as compared to the design, obtained in deterministic setting.

AbstractThe certification philosophy plays an important role in ensuring the airworthiness qualification of a small gas turbine engine designed as a starter unit. The small and compactness of the engine, high rotational speed of the rotors, requirements of torque and starting capability at sea level to high altitude airfields and consecutive starts within stipulated time impose a great challenge from airworthiness point of view. This paper presents the methodology adopted and various stages of qualification, standards followed and results based on which the starter unit has been qualified for fitment on the designated aircraft.

Real Time Optimization

An adaptive control system for a gas turbine engine which diagnoses conditions of axial compressor faults is proposed and analyzed. Nonlinear models of the gas turbine, neural networks and genetic algorithms are used in this research. The adaptive control system minimizes the reduction in gas turbine performance deriving from non-destructive faults. In the absence of faults, the system automatically performs the optimization of the engine between overhauls. Improvements concern the definition of adaptive control with faults in progress, and the real-time optimization of the engine during its operative life between overhauls. Simulation results of the suggested control system are also discussed.
