Gas Turbine Engine Behavioral Modeling

This paper develops and validates a power flow behavioral model of a gas turbine engine with a gas generator and free power turbine. “Simple” mathematical expressions to describe the engine’s power flow are derived from an understanding of basic thermodynamic and mechanical interactions taking place within the engine. The engine behavioral model presented is suitable for developing a supervisor...

Gas-Dynamic Modeling of Gas Turbine Engine Components Collaborative Workflow

The aim of this article was the development of the gas-dynamic models allowing to calculate the working processes of the gas turbine engine (GTE) in the compressor, in the combustion chamber and in the turbine at the same time. The possibilities of software systems for complex engine workflow modeling are specified. The advantages and disadvantages of the presented methods are specified. The re...

Reformer Gas Application in Combustion Onset Control of HCCI Engine

Homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion is spontaneous multi-site combustion of a nominally premixed air/fuel mixture that exhibits high rate of pressure rise and short combustion duration. To avoid excessive pressure rise rate and knocking, HCCI engines are fueled with highly diluted mixture using a combination of excess air and/or EGR. HCCI combustion is attractive due to ...
