Investigation of Turbine-outlet Temperature Distribution of XJ34-WE-32 Turbojet Engine
Turbine-outlet radial temperature distributions of an XJ34-WE-32 turbojet engine were investigated in the altitude wind tunnel at the NACA Lewis laboratory over a range of pressure altitudes, engine-inlet air temperatures and flight Mach numbers at or near rated engine conditions. From blade stress considerations, the turbine-outlet temperature distribution was considered satisfactory at altitudes up to 25,000 feet at corrected engine speeds corresponding to rated speed (12,500 rpm); however, operation at either higher corrected engine speeds or higher altitudes resulted in an inversion of the turbine temperature distribution that was detrimental to turbine life. Installation of a compressor-outlet mixer greatly improved the turbine radial temperature distribution
Altitude-wind-tunnel Investigation of Performance Characteristics of a J47d Prototype (RX1-1) Turbojet Engine with Fixed-area Exhaust Nozzle
Effect of Compressor-outlet Bleedoff on Turbojet-engine Performance
An investigation was conducted in the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel to determine the effect of compressor-outlet bleedoff on the performance of an axial-flow turbojet engine equipped with a variable-area exhaust nozzle. Results presented indicate the effect of compressor-outlet bleedoff on performance at altitudes of 25,000 and 40,000 feet and a flight Mach number of 0.53. Variation of performance with bleedoff flow is indicated for operation with fixed- and variable-area exhaust nozzles. Temperature and pressure losses through the bleedoff ducting system are also discussed
