Description

The engine is a small compact free turbine engine. It comprises a gas generator and an accessory drive assembly. The gas generator incorporates a centrifugal compressor, an axial flow turbine rotating unit and an ignition and combustion system. The engine is mounted a sturdy Mild steel frame with caster wheels.

The engine is mounted on a load cell to measure the thrust of the engine. The engine is also provided with pressure, temperatures, air flow and fuel flow measurement system. The data from these sensors is passed to the PC on the USB interface and is displayed using the software provided. The data display and acquisition system require a PC running Windows 8. The software calculates the thrust, temperature and pressure readings using the Brayton cycle formulae. This calculated thrust can be compared with the measured thrust. The software also calculates the turbine entry pressure.

The user has access to a wide range of data acquisition, graph plotting and display functions. As well as the standard graph plotting functions, a special routine has been written to display H – S diagrams (Entropy – Enthalpy diagrams) which are of particular interest in thermodynamics.

Experiments you can perform

  1. Measure engine thrust and compare it with thrust calculated from Brayton cycle relations
  2. Determine turbine entry pressure and temperature
  3. Plot the cycle on an enthalpy–entropy (H-S) diagram
  4. Determine fuel consumption against thrust at different throttle settings
