| Title | Optimizing the Super-Turbocharged Aeroengine |
| Author | Dr Julian R. Panting |
| Biblio | 1998; 210 Pages; Hard Cover |
| Description | Turboprop or turbojet engines are the main means of providing motive power for flight. Any improvements that can be made to these technologies in terms of power or fuel efficiency are significant and important developments. After first setting the scene with a short account of aeroengine development, the book goes on to show how a super-turbocharged aeroengine can be significantly more efficient. A detailed account of the studies into the new design philosophy is given and the numerical results of the computational model of this engine design model are analysed. The unusual design of these piston engine units is theoretically modelled and their mechanical design is discussed in some detail. The aim is to obtain improved cycle thermal efficiency and to maintain competitive power-to-weight ratios. This book presents novel means by which these aims may be achieved. The optimization and in-depth computer modelling propounds the super-turbocharged engine as a great step forward from the normally aspirated and conventionally turbocharged engines in common use today. Topics covered include: Conventional jet engine performance; centrifugal supercharger; emissions; performance at altitude; axial piston engine; gas generator; turbine and high-speed alternator design; optimization techniques; numerical modelling and results; compound turbocharged engine. |
