To evaluate the capability of engine inlet, inlet components and power plant anti ICER under low temperature, this paper introduces the evaluation method of anti icing system for civil aviation engine room, and analyzes the anti icing power of the aircraft intake based on the symmetric algorithm. The realizable k-cube model and wall function method are used to analyze the flow field in the inlet of an aircraft engine. Based on the analysis of the flow field of the intake port of an aircraft engine, the anti ice power of the intake port is calculated according to the heat balance relationship of the intake port surface. The symmetrical particle swarm algorithm is adopted to optimize the calculation process of inlet anti-ice power, and the particle wide area learning strategy is used to promote the calculation of inlet anti-ice power. In this way, the computational complexity is significantly reduce and the accuracy of the power analysis of the inlet anti-ice is enhanced. The simulation results show that the absolute error of the proposed method is less than 1% in 1000 iterations. Through the analysis of the surface temperature changes of the inlet deflector under different experimental conditions, it can be known that the method can effectively analyze the anti-icing power of aircraft engine inlet.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is conducting research and development on aircraft engine technologies to reduce environmental impact for the Technology Development Project for Clean Engines (TechCLEAN). As a part of the project, combustion technologies have been developed with an aggressive target that is an 80% reduction over the NOx threshold of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP)/4 standard. A staged fuel nozzle with a pilot mixer and a main mixer was developed and tested using a single-sector combustor under the target engine's landing and takeoff (LTO) cycle conditions with a rated output of 40 kN and an overall pressure ratio of 25.8. The test results showed a 77% reduction over the CAEP/4 NOx standard. However, the reduction in smoke at thrust conditions higher than the 30% MTO condition and of CO emission at thrust conditions lower than the 85% MTO condition are necessary. In the present study, an additional fuel burner was designed and tested with the staged fuel nozzle in a single-sector combustor to control emissions. The test results show that the combustor enables an 82% reduction in NOx emissions relative to the ICAO CAEP/4 standard and a drastic reduction in smoke and CO emissions.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to present the pollutant gas produced by hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) and the quantity of fuel burned from commercial aircraft at Ordu-Giresun International Airport, Turkey during the landing and take-off (LTO) cycles in 2017. Design/methodology/approach The flight data recorded by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority and the aircraft engine emission data from International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Engine Exhaust Emission Databank were used for calculation. The aircraft and engine types used by the airlines for flight at Ordu-Giresun International Airport were determined. To evaluate the effect of taxi time on emission amounts, analysis and evaluations were made by taking different taxi times into consideration. Findings As a result of the emission analysis, the amount of fuel consumed by the aircraft were calculated as 6,551.52 t/y, and the emission amounts for CO, HC and NOx were estimated as 66.81, 4.20 and 79.97 t/y, respectively. Practical implications This study is aimed to reveal the effect and contribution of taxi time on the emitted emission at the airport during the LTO phase of the aircraft. Originality/value This study helps aviation authorities explain the importance of developing procedures that ensure the delivery of aircraft to flights in minimum time by raising awareness of the impact of taxi time on emitted emissions, and contributes to the determination of an aircraft emission inventory at Ordu-Giresun International Airport.

This paper presents a first principles-based model of the fluid-induced forces acting on the rotor of an axial compressor. These forces are primarily associated with the presence of a nonuniform flow field around the rotor, such as that produced by a rotor tip clearance asymmetry. Simple, analytical expressions for the forces as functions of basic flow field quantities are obtained. These expressions allow an intuitive understanding of the nature of the forces and—when combined with a rudimentary model of an axial compressor flow field (the Moore-Greitzer model)—enable computation of the forces as a function of compressor geometry, torque and pressure-rise characteristics, and operating point. The forces predicted by the model are also compared to recently published measurements and more complex analytical models, and are found to be in reasonable agreement. The model elucidates that the fluid-induced forces comprise three main contributions: fluid turning in the rotor blades, pressure distribution around the rotor, and unsteady momentum storage within the rotor. The model also confirms recent efforts in that the orientation of fluid-induced forces is locked to the flow nonuniformity, not to tip clearance asymmetry as is traditionally assumed. The turning and pressure force contributions are shown to be of comparable magnitudes—and therefore of equal importance—for operating points between the design point and the peak of the compressor characteristic. Within this operating range, both “forward” and “backward” rotor whirl tendencies are shown to be possible. This work extends recent efforts by developing a more complete, yet compact, description of fluid-induced forces in that it accounts for all relevant force contributions, both tangential and radial, that may influence the dynamics of the rotor. Hence it constitutes an essential element of a consistent treatment of rotordynamic stability under the action of fluid-induced forces, which is the subject of Part II of this paper.

Abstract Traditional civil aviation security check measures are focused on baggage rather than passengers. The goal of this study is to enhance the level and effectiveness of security measures. We propose an anomalous behavior detection technique for civil aviation passengers and a passenger risk-assessment method based on a neural network method. A large number of real cases were analyzed and summarized to extract indicators of anomalous behavior of civil aviation passengers, and an index system was developed to detect anomalous behavior of passengers at checkpoints. A neural network method was used to evaluate the passengers and classify the risk level to detect potentially dangerous personnel, monitor people, and create an emergency warning system. The synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE), the conjugate gradient method, and a multilayer perceptron neural network were used to classify the risk level of passengers at checkpoints. The results demonstrated that the proposed index system and evaluation method were well suited to deal with the ambiguity and uncertainty in the recognition process. The anomalous behavior of civil aviation passengers at checkpoints and the associated threat level were accurately identified.

Abstract Relative to the rotor overspeed compliance governed by civil aviation airworthiness regulation, nowadays Area-Average Stress method is commonly used approach. However, in order to effectively apply the Area-Average Stress method in analyzing burst speed, large amount of testing data is needed to define an important element of this method: a correction factor. This prerequisite hinders the use of this method for many companies which have limited test data. Meanwhile, analysis of rotor burst speed based on Strain-based Fracture Criteria using true stress-strain curves and burst tests has been done on the LPT rotor, and a work procedure obtaining the most critical burst speed for certification is proposed. The analysis results, which had a good correlation with test results, showed that Strain-based Fracture Criteria can accurately predict the burst speed considering the most adverse combination of dimensional tolerances, temperature, and material properties, and rotor dimensional growth under the overspeed condition. Both are required by the aircraft engine airworthiness overspeed regulation. Compared to the Area-Average Stress method, Strain-based Fracture Criteria reflects the physical essence of the rotor burst more realistically and can be simply verified without requiring too much test data, therefore it has a good application prospect in the aircraft engine airworthiness.

Abstract Sector cascade experiments can not only be convenient to measure various aerodynamic parameters but also reveal the real flow characteristics in turbomachinery. However, the sector cascade is only a part of the whole annular cascade. The circumferential angle, the structure of the side guide plate (SGP) and the suction mode on the SGP have a great effect on the periodicity of the flow field. Therefore, the effect of structure on periodicity must be taken into consideration in order to obtain accurate data of the sector cascade experiment. In this paper, a compressor sector cascade composed of a row of adjustable guide vanes (AGVs) and a row of stators is designed. The effect of the circumferential angle, SGP structure and suction position on the periodicity is studied by numerical simulation. An optimal cascade scheme is selected for experimental research. The results show that a larger circumferential angle can weaken the effect of low-energy fluid near the SGP on the middle passages. However, given the limited experimental conditions, the circumferential angle is set at 110° which consists of 15 AGVs and 14 stators. What’s more, the SGP with the same bowed angle of AGV on both sides of the cascade can reduce the influence of the SGP on the adjacent passages and obtain a regular periodicity. The low-energy fluids still accumulate near the SGP. The suction near the stator suction side of the SGP can alleviate the blockage in the flow passage and further improve the periodicity of the cascade. Serious analysis of the experiment results have further identified that the suction near the stator suction side of SGP can make the aerodynamic parameters of the flow field uniform and lead to a good periodicity. At the same time, the feasibility of this design method is verified.

This paper establishes a novel mathematical model for computing the plume flow field of a carrier-based aircraft engine. Its objective is to study the impact of jet exhaust gases with high temperature, high speed and high pressure on the jet blast deflector. The working condition of the nozzle of a fully powered on engine is first determined. The flow field of the exhaust jet is then numerically simulated at different deflection angle using the three-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations and the standard [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] turbulence method. Moreover, infra-red temperature tests are further carried out to test the temperature field when the jet blast deflector is at the [Formula: see text] deflection angle. The comparison between the simulation results and the experimental results show that the proposed computation model can perfectly describe the system. There is only 8–10% variation between them. A good verification is achieved. Moreover, the experimental results show that the jet blast deflector plays an outstanding role in driving the high-temperature exhaust gases. It is found that [Formula: see text] may be the best deflection angle to protect the deck and the surrounding equipment effectively. These data results provide a valuable basis for the design and layout optimization of the jet blast deflector and deck.

Smart grid technology based on renewable energy and energy storage systems are attracting considerable attention towards energy crises. Accurate and reliable model for electricity prediction is considered a key factor for a suitable energy management policy. Currently, electricity consumption is rapidly increasing due to the rise in human population and technology development. Therefore, in this study, we established a two-step methodology for residential building load prediction, which comprises two stages: in the first stage, the raw data of electricity consumption are refined for effective training; and the second step includes a hybrid model with the integration of convolutional neural network (CNN) and multilayer bidirectional gated recurrent unit (MB-GRU). The CNN layers are incorporated into the model as a feature extractor, while MB-GRU learns the sequences between electricity consumption data. The proposed model is evaluated using the root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), and mean absolute error (MAE) metrics. Finally, our model is assessed over benchmark datasets that exhibited an extensive drop in the error rate in comparison to other techniques. The results indicated that the proposed model reduced errors over the individual household electricity consumption prediction (IHEPC) dataset (i.e., RMSE (5%), MSE (4%), and MAE (4%)), and for the appliances load prediction (AEP) dataset (i.e., RMSE (2%), and MAE (1%)).
