Abstract: A full-range mathematical model of the LM-1600 gas turbine has been developed, for future use in EHM studies. No data were available from the manufacturer other than sales brochures giving ...

Abstract: As part of an ongoing investigation into the effects of compressor fouling on gas turbine performance, the stage stacking technique was used in conjunction with generalized turbine characteristics ...

Abstract: As yet, there is no known reliable method for directly measuring the thrust of a turbofan in flight. Manufacturers of civil turbofans use various indirect thrust measurements to indicate ...

Abstract: This paper describes experimental tests carried out on a twin-spool turbojet to confirm earlier simulator predictions of methods of improving the dynamic response. The engine was controlled by ...

Abstract: Although the overall effect of compressor fouling on engine performance has been recognized for many years, remarkably little has been published on the quantifiable effects. Mathematical modeling ...

Abstract: Thermodynamic models suitable for use as diagnostic tools for pipeline gas turbines have been developed. A basic requirement was the prediction of the performance of gas turbines subject to ...

Abstract: The Canadian Department of National Defence has identified a need for improved Engine Health Monitoring procedures for the new Canadian Patrol Frigate (CPF). The CPF propulsion system includes ...
