  2. 16. Challenges in aero engine performance modeling

    Author : Sebastian Samuelsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; part-load modeling; Aero engine; conceptual design; performance modeling; multidisciplinary design;

    Abstract : There is a continuous drive for ever more efficient aero engines due to environmental as well as economical concerns. As the technology of conventional turbofan engines matures, there is a need for new aero engine concepts as well as incremental improvement of existing technologies. READ MORE

  4. 17. Design of an Experimental Facility for Investi- gating the Flow in a Low Pressure Turbine Exit Structure

    Author : Borja Rojo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Turbine Rear Frame; Turbine Exhaust Case; Experimental; Exit Guide Vane; Engine Exit Structure; Aerodynamics; Outlet Guide Vane; Gas Turbine; Wind Tunnel; Heat transfer.; CFD; Turbine Rear Structure;

    Abstract : This report presents the design of a turbine facility for investigating the flow in the EES located at Chalmers University of Technology. The EES is the structure located downstream of the LPT in a jet engine. In this rig, in order to generate realistic inlet boundary conditions for the EES, an LPT stage is located upstream of the EES.

  5. 18. Optimization and Model Validation of Transonic Compressors

    Author : Lars R Ellbrant; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; compressor; optimization; design; metamodels; CFD; validation; multiobjective;

    Abstract : Economical aspects such as reduced specific fuel consumptions and ever growing environmental requirements on emissions and percieved noise levels, are the major drivers in the search for improvement of aircraft engines. For turbofan engines, the global trend is towards higher efficiency which is accomplished by increasing component efficiencies, the bypass ratio and overall pressure ratio while keeping the engine weight low.

  6. 19. Experimental investigation of the flow field in an aggressive intermediate turbine duct

    Author : Lars-Uno Axelsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phase-resolved measurements; Intermediate turbine duct; flow visualization; vorticity dynamics; turbulence.; inter-turbine duct; hot-wire anemometry; experiment; 5-hole pressure probe;

    Abstract : Intermediate turbine ducts are used for connecting thehigh-pressure turbine to the low-pressure turbine in turbofan engines. In order to meet the demands for more efficient and environmentally friendly jet engines, future intermediate turbine ducts need to have larger radial off-sets without increasing their length.
