Analysis of turbine stator adjustment required for compressor design-point operation in high Mach number supersonic turbojet engines

For turbojet engines designed for flight Mach numbers of 2.5 and 3.0, use of turbine stator adjustment to maintain compressor design-point operation was evaluated analytically to determine the effect on the aerodynamics of the turbine. Since the effect of turbine stator adjustment is to make the turbine design sensitive to the particular engine design conditions selected, in some cases the turbine must be conservatively designed for the high-speed flight condition to assure satisfactory turbine performance at take-off. A new concept, the break-even point, is introduced to provide quick evaluation of the proximity of turbines to the blade-loading limit at any off-design operation

One-dimensional analysis of choked-flow turbines

Flow conditions internal to choked-flow turbines were subjected to a one-dimensional analysis. Factors affecting the design, operation, and manufacture of such turbines were investigated. Criteria are presented which will aid in analysis of test data from such turbines. The effect of turbine-stator adjustment on internal flow conditions was investigated for one application of turbine stator adjustment

The Proteus Navier-Stokes code

An effort is currently underway at NASA Lewis to develop two- and three-dimensional Navier-Stokes codes, called Proteus, for aerospace propulsion applications. The emphasis in the development of Proteus is not algorithm development or research on numerical methods, but rather the development of the code itself. The objective is to develop codes that are user-oriented, easily-modified, and well-documented. Well-proven, state-of-the-art solution algorithms are being used. Code readability, documentation (both internal and external), and validation are being emphasized. This paper is a status report on the Proteus development effort. The analysis and solution procedure are described briefly, and the various features in the code are summarized. The results from some of the validation cases that have been run are presented for both the two- and three-dimensional codes

NACA Research Memorandums

Memorandum presenting an analysis of one-spool ducted-fan engines in order to determine the primarily limitations on ducted-fan-engine design and to compare this type with the turboprop and turbojet engines for the same application. Designs were studied at flight Mach numbers of 0 and 0.6 at sea level and Mach numbers of 0.6 and 0.8 at the tropopause. Results regarding the discussion of charts, effect of design parameters on turbine stress, effect of design parameters, effect of design parameters on thrust specific fuel consumption, and effect of design parameters on thrust per unit total weight flow are provided
