Abstract: Although the benefits of intercooling for aeroengine applications have been realized and discussed in many publications, quantitative details are still relatively limited. In order to strengthen the understanding of ...

Abstract: An exergy framework was developed taking into consideration a detailed analysis of the heat exchanger (HEX) (intercooler (IC)) component irreversibilities. Moreover, it was further extended to include an adequate formulation ...

Abstract: An optimal baseline turbofan cycle designed for a performance level expected to be available around year 2050 is established. Detailed performance data are given in takeoff, top of climb, and cruise to support the analysis. ...

Abstract: This work presents an experimental and numerical investigation of the laminar-turbulent transition and secondary flow structures in a turbine rear structure (TRS). The study was executed at engine representative Reynolds ...

Abstract: A good aerodynamic design of the turbine rear structure (TRS) is crucial for improving efficiency and reducing emissions from aero-engines. This paper presents a detailed experimental evaluation of an engine-realistic TRS ...
