The propulsion system of turboprop has been rarely used in the large aircraft due to the limitation of the maximum velocity of the propeller, the power limitation by the reduction gear, etc. Recently, the demand on turboprop aircraft continues to increase because of economical efficiency and environmental factors. In this paper, turboprop propulsion system which is composed of a Pratt & Whitney 127F turboprop engine and a Hamilton Standard 568F propeller was modeled by using the Gasturb11 software. The result of the performance analysis on this propulsion system model showed that the propulsion system model was evaluated to have been successfully builded.

In this study, the steady state performance analysis program was developed for a turboprop engine, and its performance was analyzed at uninstalled and installed conditions. For the purpose of evaluation the developed program was compared with the performance data provided by the engine manufacturer and analysis results of GASTURB8.0 program. It was confirmed that the developed program was reliable because the results by the developed program were well agreed with those by GASTURB8.0 within %%. The linear and non-linear GPA(Gas Path Analysis) programs for performance diagnotics were developed, and selection of optimal measurement variables was studied. Furthermore, in order to investigate effects of the number and the kind of measurement variables, the linear and non-linear GPAs were analyzed with various measurement set. If the measurement parameters were properly selected, the reliable and economic faults detection might be possible even thought the small number of measuring parameters were used.

A steady-state performance simulation program using $EASY5^{(R)}$ on the turboprop engine was developed through in this study. The PT6A-62 turboprop engine which is the power plant of the first Korean basic trainer KT-1, was selected for this study. In order to evaluate the proposed perfrmance model the analysis results of $EASY5^{(R)}$ model were compared with the simulated results by the GASTURB program, which is well blown commercially for the simulation performance analysis at various cases. The first case was the uninstalled condition with various altitudes from ground to 30000ft and flight Mach No. 0. The second case was the install condition with various altitude from ground to M at the maximum take off and the ECS (Environmental Control System) OFF conditions. The third case was install condition with the altitude range from 5000 ft to 1000ft and Mach No. 0.1 to 0.3 at maximum ECS operating condition. It was confirm that the results by the $EASY5^{(R)}$ model were well agreed with those by GASTURB within maximum 5.0%

In this study, a component map generation method using experimental data and the genetic algorithms are newly proposed. In order to generate the performance map for components of this engine, after obtaining engine performance data through many experimental tests, and then the third order equations which have relationships the mass flow function the pressure ratio and the isentropic efficiency as to the engine rotational speed were derived by using the genetic algorithms. A steady-state performance analysis was performed with the generated maps of the compressor by the commercial gas turbine performance analysis program GASTURB. In comparison, it was found that the component maps can be generated from the experimental test data by using the genetic algorithms, and it was confirmed that the analysis results using the generated maps were very similar to those using the scaled maps from the GASTURB.

This paper presents on research findings of how Visual C++ program can be used to generate codes capable of performing ramjet engine simulation an arbitrary ramjet model will be considered for which generated output values will be compared with those from a commercial program GASTURB 9 Several governing thermodynamic equations will first be discussed in order that we understand the fundamental idea behind values printed out on the GUI. The program is designed that it generates its station input value. Similar results were realized compared to those produced by gasturb 9.

This paper dealt with the Performance Modeling of a low-bypass turbofan engine for supersonic aircraft. The Pratt and Whitney F100-PW-229 engine has been employed for low-bypass turbofan engine performance modeling. Generally, The complete commercially-classified information concerning the engine are unknown. So, Components' generic characteristics are described and assumptions made in order to model the F100-PW-229 engine performance model. All the analysis has been undertaken using published data taken from the open literature. The results of the Engine Performance using Gasturb11 showed that the Engine performance model was evaluated to be properly constructed.

This paper presents on research findings of how Visual C++ program can be used to generate codes capable of performing ramjet engine simulation To understand the diversity and applicability of this tool an arbitrary ramjet model will be considered for which generated output values will be compared with those from a commercial program GASTURB 9 iterated under the same input parameters. Several governing thermodynamic equations will first be discussed in order that we understand the fundamental idea behind values printed out on the GUI. C++ compiler was chosen as a tool of use due to its availability, ease of use, ability to compute functions faster and uniquely possible to make a stand alone GUI executable in DOS mode. The program is developed in such a way that given the ambient flight conditions, burner exit temperature and several geometry areas the program generates its own input values used in the succeeding stations. A close resemblance of output values that define performance and thermodynamic state of the engine was realized between GASTURB 9 and using this code made from C++ compiler.

In this work the realistic install performance analysis of a helicopter was performed together with power extraction enabling to operate auxiliary system as well as intake pressure loss, loss due to bleed air, etc. which must be considered in practical propulsion system's performance modelling to be installed to the airframe. The pressure loss occurring in intake was estimated from the intake performance map with relationships of Mach Number and pressure loss. In order to evaluate the proposed installed performance model, the experimental data for comparison must be needed when mounted in propulsion system. However because of lack of accessibility to such real data at the moment, the alternative way was made through comparison that the analysis results by the proposed model were compared with a wellknown commercial program GASTURB's analysis results. The validity of the proposed installed performance model was consequently confirmed because its average deferences from the GASTURB's results were within 0.5%.
