The moisture in the atmosphere exerts a lot of influence upon Gas turbine engine performances. There is a noticeable influence of wet air at the summer sea level, high flight mach number and low engine rpm increasingly. An altitude Engine Test Facility is used to accomplish the engine performance tests at dry air condition and wet air condition, through which engine performance results is revealed. Also, Gas turbine Simulation Program is used to predict the variation of engine performance due to inlet humidity. In the result, net thrust and specific fuel consumption measured -2.826% and 1.325%, respectively at wet air condition compared to dry air condition.

Recently operation and maintenance cost of gas turbine engines has been issued as a major parameter in terms of designing and manufacturing. Accordingly, the conception that the maintenance and repair of an engine has to be conducted in assembled condition has been spreaded out. However, it is possible only if the prediction of the engine performance is clearly identified. In this study, therefore, a diagnostic code of the engine performance has been developed by using GPA(Gas Path Analysis) and Fuzzy Logic which can analyze the engine performance and estimate the health parameters. The prediction of the quantitative performance deterioration of the established model of the turbo-shaft engine for SUAV has been achieved in a satisfied level compared to that obtained by GSP code.

The operation of a gas-turbine engine gradually deteriorates the performance of its main components and often generates the defects of its components. The GPA method has been usually used for the diagnosis of the deterioration. In this study, the diagnostic code of the engine performance using the thermodynamic sensitivity between the sensed parameters and the health parameters has been developed without an application of the commercial program. The single performance deterioration of the turbo-shaft engine for SUAV has been estimated with this code.

소형항공기용 IO-540 왕복엔진을 대상으로 추진기관의 성능에 미치는 배압 특성을 조사하기 위해서 지상 성능시험을 수행하였다. 본 시험은 6가지 배기조건에 대해서 엔진의 배압과 흡기압력, 토크, 그리고 프로펠러의 정지추력을 측정하였다. 엔진의 배압은 대체로 머플러를 장착할 경우와 배기관 끝단이 상대적으로 직경이 작고 길이가 길수록 증가하였다. 배압 특성은 특히 엔진의 회전속도가 고속 영역으로 갈수록 프로펠러 추력에 변화를 나타냈으며 전반적으로 추진기관 성능에 미세한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

가스터빈 엔진의 성능모사는 개발단계에서의 개발위험도 감소나 개발비용 절감의 목적뿐만 아니라 운용단계에서 최적의 정비를 위한 엔진의 상태 진단을 위해서도 그 필요성이 매우 크다. 가스터빈 엔진의 성능모사를 위해서는 "각 구성품의 성능은 구성품 성능선도를 따라야 한다"는 제약조건을 만족해야 하며 이를 위해서는 구성품의 특성을 나타내는 성능선도가 매우 중요하다. 구성품 성능선도는 다양한 조건에서의 성능시험을 통해 얻는 것이 당연하나 이는 엔진 개발사에서나 가능하며 대부분 공개를 기피한다. 따라서 일반 구매자나 가스터빈 엔진의 성능을 연구하는 사람들은 일부 공개된 성능도를 축척하여 이용하고 있다.여 이용하고 있다.

Test device using virtual engine simulator can help reduce the number of engine tests through tests similar to the actual engine tests and repeat the test under the same condition, and thus reduce the engine maintenance and operating costs. Also, as it is possible to easily implement extreme conditions in which it is hard to conduct actual tests, it can prevent engine damages that may happen during the actual engine test under such conditions. In this study, an upgraded small jet engine performance test device was developed that can conduct both real and virtual engine test by applying real-time engine model to the existing micro jet engine performance test device that was previously developed by authors. This newly developed multi-purpose small jet engine performance test device is expected to be used for various educational and research purposes.

Open Rotor Engine is one of the several new technologies offering potential solution for the next generation aircraft. The coupling of ultra high bypass ratio and aerodynamically advanced fan blade design allow the open rotor engine to achieve and advantage in fuel consumption. The open rotor engine does have more thrust lapse than the general high bypass turbofan. The open rotor engine performance model was analyzed using a reference data based on the GE36 which was designed and tested data at which time a F404 turbojet was used as the core. The performance model of open rotor engine was verified by referred test data and was evaluated to be properly constructed, through the comparison of recent Next generation turboprop engine performance.

자동차에서 윤활을 필요로 하는 부분으로서는 엔진과, 차체 그리고 변속 및 주형장치로 대별되며 엔진만의 윤활을 위해서는 엔진유가 필요하고 차체나 변속 주형장치는 그리이스 및 기어유가 사용된다. 특히 자동차윤활에서 가장 가혹한 조건으로 윤활되고 또한윤활문제로 고심하는 엔진 윤활은 엔진의 구조나 윤활방식 또는 사용연료등엥 따라 윤활상태가 크게 달라질 수도 있으나 윤활이 기본원리와 목적은 대동소이하다. 자동차엔진, 특히 가솔린엔진에서 윤활을 필요로 하는 부분은 베어링, 실린더 및 캠부분등으로 나눌 수가 있으며 이런 부분의 윤활은 극히 가혹한 상태에 놓이게 된다. 따라서 이와 같은 문제들을 고려하면서 가솔린엔진윤활의 제문제점과 엔 진유에 요구되는 성능에 대하여 고찰하여 보고자 한다.

Performance test was conducted by micro gas turbine engine. A small test rig was established for the performance measurement of the micro gas turbine engine. The performance was conducted by the Olympus HP engine. Engine inlet mass flow rate, static thrust, fuel consumption rate, air and gas temperature at the inlet of major components were measured. In the test results, we could well understand about the micro gas turbine engine performance characteristics.
