The complexity of modern gas turbine engines has led to the adoption of a modular design approach, in which a conceptual design phase fixes the values for a number of parameters and dimensions in order to facilitate the subdivision of the overall task into a number of simpler ...
The design of gas turbine engines is a complex problem. This complexity has led to the adoption of a modular design approach, in which a conceptual design phase fixes the values for some global parameters and dimensions in order to facilitate the subdivision of the overall tas ...
Gas turbine compression systems are required to perform adequately over a range of operating conditions. Complexity has encouraged the conventional design process for compressors to focus initially on one operating point, usually the most commonor arduous, to draw up an outlin ...
The design of a gas turbine, or one of its constituent modules, is generally approached with some specific operating condition in mind (its design point). Unfortunately, engine components seldom exactly meet their specifications and do not operate at just one condition, but ov ...
Modern turbofan engines are designed with pressure ratios as high as 40 and with bypass ratios in excess of 8. Multiple spools with substantial radial offset are essential to achieve the desired design and off-design performance and s-shaped ducts are necessary to deliver the ...
