This paper compares the performance of JP-8(Jet Propellant) fuel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas in the F110 GE100 jet engine. The cost of natural gas usage in gas turbine engines is lower than JP-8 and LPG. LPG cost is more than JP-8. LPG volume is bigger than JP-8 in the same flight conditions. Fuel tank should be cryogenic for using natural gas in the aircraft. Cost and weight of the cryogenic tanks are bigger. Cryogenic tanks decrease the move capability of the aircraft. The use of jet propellant (JP) is the best in available application for F110 GE 100 jet engine.

Test experience with a micro-turbine jet engine is introduced. The engine provides us with valuable opportunities to experience know-hows essential for engine development. It consists of a single radial compressor and a single stage turbine. Engine starting procedure has been established after many trials and errors. Static and dynamic engine performance tests were conducted. Static performance was found to be inferior to that advertised by the manufacturer. Further improvement is needed. Dynamic performance revealed that engine thrust overshoots unfavorably for the purpose of UAV control.

A mim turbo-shaft engine of 50HP for UAV, which can be easily modified to turbo-prop and turbo-jet engine by sharing the core engine and has many applications to civilian demands and munitions, will be developed This kind of micro gas turbine engine has been developed mostly by the corporations which have special technology but are small in its scale. Especially, the gas turbine engine can be easily applied to other fields and developed by domestic technology, so that the sharing of technology is planed to realize through the cooperations with academies and research institutes. In this paper, the gas turbine engine, which has the compressor ratio of 3.8, the turbine inlet temperature of l180K and the engine speed higher than 100,000 rpm, is composed of centrifugal compressor, combustor, gas generator turbine, free power turbine and gear box. The competitiveness of the gas turbine engine can be obtained from minimizing its cost by the utilization of domestic infrastructure for the performance test and the decisive outsourcing.

The one of critical factor in gas turbine engine performance is high turbine inlet gas temperature. Therefore, the turbine rotor has so many problems which must be considered such as the turbine blade cooling, thermal stress of turbine disk due to severe temperature gradient, turbine rotor tip clearance, under the high operating temperature. The purpose of this study is to provider the temperature distribution and heat flux in turbine disk which is required to considered premensioned problem by the Finite Difference Method and the Finite Element Methods on the steady state condition. In this study, the optimum aspect ratio of turbine disk was analysed for various heat conductivity of turbine disk material by Finite Difference Method, and the effect of laminating method with high conductivity materials to disk thickness direction by Finite Element Methods in order to cool the disk. The laminating method with high conductivity material on the side of the disk is effective.

A turbo fan engine performance analysis and the optimization using particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm have been conducted to investigate the effects of major performance design parameters of an aircraft gas turbine engine. The FJ44-2C turbofan engine, which is widely used in the small business jet, CJ2 has been selected as the basic model. The design parameters consists of the bypass ratio, burner exit temperature, HP compressor ratio, fan inlet mass flow, and nozzle cooling air ratio. The sensitivity analysis of the parameters has been evaluated and the optimization of the parameters has been performed to achieve high net thrust or low specific fuel consumption.

This paper presents the characteristics of lifted height and flame length from non-premixed jet flames in highly preheated air to investigate the detail combustion mechanism in the gas turbine or HCCI engine, etc. Special attention was paid to the effect of preheated air temperature, oxygen concentration and fuel injection flow rate on flame length and lifted hight. By using highly preheated air, stable flames were formed even in low oxygen concentration condition. The lifted height increased with decreasing preheated air temperature, where the flame length showed opposed phenomena. The flamelet model, which is thought to have very thin flamelet, is difficult to applicable to the present flame conditions which is formed In low oxygen concentration in highly preheated air.

Conjugate heat transfer analysis was performed to investigate the flow and cooling performance of the high pressure turbine nozzle of gas turbine engine. The CHT code was verified by comparison between CFD results and experimental results of C3X vane. The combination of k-${\omega}$ based SST turbulence model and transition model was used to solve the flow and thermal field of the fluid zone and the material property of CMSX-4 was applied to the solid zone. The turbine nozzle has two internal cooling channels and each channel has a complex cooling configurations, such as the film cooling, jet impingement, pedestal and rib turbulator. The parabolic temperature profile was given to the inlet condition of the nozzle to simulate the combustor exit condition. The flow characteristics were analyzed by comparing with uncooled nozzle vane. The Mach number around the vane increased due to the increase of coolant mass flow flowed in the main flow passage. The maximum cooling effectiveness (91 %) at the vane surface is located in the middle of pressure side which is effected by the film cooling and the rib turbulrator. The region of the minimum cooling effectiveness (44.8 %) was positioned at the leading edge. And the results show that the TBC layer increases the average cooling effectiveness up to 18 %.

제트연료변경에 따른 엔진 운용 특성 변화를 살펴보기 위해 JP-8 연료와 JP-S 연료를 사용하여 소형터 보제트엔진의 지상시험 및 고도시험을 수행하였다. 비중이 18% 높은 JP-S 연료에 대한 연료조절시스템 특성은 동일 연료공급명령에 대한 실 연료공급량이 JP-8 연료보다 8% 많이 공급되었다. 시동특성은 연료조절시스템의 명령 대비 공급량의 차이로 인한 점화시점 및 엔진 회전수 가속율 등의 변화를 제외하고는 유사한 특성을 보였다. 정상상태 성능 특성은 순 추력의 일부 구간을 제외하고는 순 추력과 공기유량, 배기가스온도 등 대부분의 엔진 성능 변수가 1% 이내로 유사하였으나 연료소모량만은 연료의 발열량 차이로 인해 최대 5 %이상 차이가 발생하였다. 이를 동일 추력 대비 비 연료소모율로 비교할 때 지상시험에서는 약 1.1~2.6 %, 고공환경시험에서는 5 % 이상 차이가 발생하였다.

가상엔진 시뮬레이터를 이용한 시험장치는 실제 엔진을 이용한 시험과 유사한 시험 수행을 통하여 엔진 시험 횟수를 줄이고 동일한 조건에서 반복 시험이 가능하므로 엔진 정비 및 운용비용을 감소시켜 준다. 그리고 실제 시험에서 수행하기 어려운 극한 상황을 쉽게 구현할 수 있기 때문에 실제 엔진 시험 시 발생할 수 있는 엔진 손상 및 위험한 시험을 대체해 준다. 본 연구에서는 사전 연구를 통해 개발하였던 소형제트엔진 성능시험장치에 실시간 엔진 모델을 적용하여 실제 엔진 시험과 가상 엔진 시험을 다목적으로 수행할 수 있는 업그레이드 된 소형제트엔진 성능시험장치를 개발하였다. 새로 개발된 다목적 소형 제트엔진 성능시험장치는 교육용 및 연구용으로 더욱 다양하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
