  • There is fire dangers inside engine bay where fuel of oil leakge can be ignited by hot engine surfaces. So, Fire suppressor is needed to extinguish the flames. The current FAA requirement is that the concentration level should be greater than 6% by volume throughtout the protected zone for longer than a half second simultaneously. To Satisfy the FAA requirement, The Fire extinguish system should quickly delivery the fire extinguish agents and Fire extinguish system should be designed effectively. This study is to develop and simulate the injection of fire extinguish agents into the engine-bay. Transient simulations were performed and predicted the concentration of fire extinguish agents at the certain locatioin in the engine-bay.

  • An ejector is designed for the purpose of engine bay cooling. The primary flow of the ejector is the exhaust gas of the PW206C turboshaft engine. The mass flow of secondary flow is calculated by using the approximate analytic equation. For the purpose of verification of approximate analytic method, comparison is made with the results of Navier-Stokes turbulent flow solution. According to the results of CFD, the mixing of two flows is incomplete due to the short length of mixing duct.

  • This study has been conducted to develop an ejector system applied in the aircraft engine-bay ventilation system. Tandem-Ejector was selected as a component of ventilation system because it could achieve high ventilation performance in spite of motive flow with small flow rate. Tandem-Ejector is composed of a primary nozzle and two mixing ducts ($1^{st}$ mixing duct and $2^{nd}$ mixing duct). In this study, 1-D Tandem-Ejector model has been built with conservation laws and isentropic relation for 1-D ejector sizing and performance prediction. Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) has been conducted to investigate ejector performance and flow characteristics in the ejector. Also, Tandem-Ejector performance tests have been conducted to obtain ejector pumping performance and to investigate stand-off (gap between primary nozzle and $1^{st}$ mixing duct inlet) effect on ejector pumping performance.

  • Fuel or oil which is leaked into the aircraft engine bay can make a fire when it is contacted to the engine surface of hot temperature. In order to avoid fire, the fire extinguish system should be designed so that the extinguishing agent is quickly injected and its concentration keeps higher in the fire protection region. FAA requires that the extinguishing agent injected within the fire protection region should be sustained longer than 0.5 second on keeping a higher concentration than 6%. For developing a fire protection system satisfying the FAA regulation, numerical and experimental studies for the injection time and the concentration of the extinguishing agent were conducted. These results showed similar trend for the injection time or concentration, but the data acquisition was delayed due to the response of the sensors in the experiment.

  • Tandem-ejector has been devised for engine-bay cooling. In this study, 1-D model has been developed to analyze Tandem-ejector. In the model, the primary, the secondary and the tertiary flow conditions have been analyzed with isentropic process. The mixing process has been analyzed with conservation laws based on the control volume analysis. The total pressure loss of the primary flow has been analyzed under the matching condition between the static pressure of Tandem-ejector discharge flow and atmospheric pressure. Consequently, 1-D model can predict Tandem-ejector performance accurately and provide the performance map.

  • An ejector is designed for the purpose of engine bay cooling. The primary flow of the ejector is the exhaust gas of the PW206C turboshaft engine. The mass flow of secondary flow is calculated by using the approximate analytic equation. And the effect of exhaust gas flow on the fuselage surface is investigated by using the Fluent Code. Three types of exhaust duct shape were compared in the viewpoint of surface temperature and aerodynamic drag. As a result, exhaust duct shape P3 shows minimum interference of exhaust gas and fuselage and minimum increment of drag among the three candidate shapes.

  • Intercoolers for multi-stage turbocharger of the hydrogen reciprocating engine for HALE UAV are installed for reducing the charged air inlet temperature of the engine. The intercooler is air to air, cross flow, plate-fin type and the fin configuration is offset-strip fin which is referenced from the heat exchanger of the ERAST. Most of HALE UAV's cruising altitude is 60,000 ft and the density of air for this altitude is very low compared to sea level. Therefore the required heat transfer area for the HALE UAV is about three-times bigger than the sea level. Consequently, it is essential to design to meet the required efficiency of intercooler in the range of not excessively growing the weight of the heat exchanger. The quasi-one dimensional heat transfer design/analysis for satisfying the requirement of the engine are written in this paper. The numerical analyses for estimating the coolant flow rate of the engine bay and pressure loss in the header and core are also summarized.

  • Using a cycle simulation program developed by authors, some thermodynamic characteristics of an aircraft ECS under various operating conditions are studied. When the inlet temperature of cockpit and avionics bay, as well as ram air flow, is held fixed, the effect of the change of regulated bleed pressure is examined. When the regulated bleed pressure, and the cockpit and avionics bay inlet temperature are fixed, the effect of the change of ram air flow is also investigated.
