Instabilities Everywhere! Hard Problems in Aero-Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many of the challenges that limited aero-engine operation in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s were static in nature: hot components exceeding temperature margins, stresses in the high-speed rotating structure approaching ...
The Role of Impeller Outflow Conditions on the Performance of Vaned Diffusers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Highly loaded impellers, typically used in turbocharger and gas turbine applications, exhaust an unsteady, transonic flow that is nonuniform across the span and pitch and swirling at angles approaching tangential. With the ...
Tail-Integrated Boundary Layer Ingesting Propulsion Systems for Turbo-Electric Aircraft
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents conceptual design guidelines and results for a tail-integrated propulsion system for a turbo-electric civil transport aircraft with boundary layer ingestion (BLI). The aerodynamic performance goal is ...
