Theoretical studies of variable geometry : hot section of the miniature jet engine

Chmielewski M., Fulara S., Gieras M.

Journal of KONES

Vol. 23, No. 2

69--80

The aim of this article is to present the results of theoretical studies regarding the use of variable geometry hot section of a miniature gas turbine. The variable geometry combustor and variable area nozzle concepts for GTM-120 miniature jet engine are presented in particular. Recent trends of propulsion system size reduction, low-emission combustion and improved fuel efficiency have been considered. A system of variable geometry combustor and variable area nozzle has been proposed as solution. The basic zero-dimensional analytical models for variable geometry combustor and variable area nozzle are developed. Chemkin based model shows significant NOX/CO emissions reduction and combustor outlet enthalpy increases with the use of variable geometry combustor chamber. The analytical model of the variable area nozzle has been proposed. It shows turbine effectiveness increase across its operating range by raising the compressor working line. As a result, noticeable turbine stage efficiency increase has been obtained. Finally, physical implications and future work plans regarding variable geometry hot section of miniature gas turbines are discussed.

Small gas turbine GTM-120 bench testing with emission measurements

The aim of this paper is to provide comprehensive bench testing results for small gas turbine engine with a strong focus on the flue gas emission measurements. After a short overview of small gas turbine GTM-120 design and working principles, the test bench developed at the Institute of Heat Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology is presented. Capability and accuracy of the sensors used in test bench are discussed in detail. Data acquisition software based on LabVIEW is also presented. Five separate sections representing successive engine stations have been distinguished. Experimental set of data of pressure and temperature on all of the stations is presented for the whole range of engine rotational speeds. Additionally, the engine thrust and fuel consumption data is provided. Special attention is given to the engine NOx and CO content in the engine exhaust gas, since turbine engine emissions are of great concern due to their adverse impact on natural environment. Experimental results are followed by the engine cycle parametric study for real engine thermodynamic cycle. Finally, future work plans regarding variable combustor chamber utilization for emission reduction from small gas turbine are discussed.
