130 Engine Group<br />
17-1.2 Performance at Power Required<br />
The engine performance (mass flow, fuel flow, and gross jet thrust) is calculated for a specified power<br />
required Pq, flight condition, and engine rating. The flight condition includes the altitude, temperature,<br />
flight speed, and primary rotor speed; and engine, drive system, and IRS states. The engine turbine<br />
speed is N = rengΩprim.<br />
The engine model deals with a single engine. The power required of a single engine is obtained<br />
by dividing the engine group power by the number of engines operational (total number of engines less<br />
inoperable engines):<br />
Preq = PreqEG/(Neng − Ninop)<br />
In the engine model, installation losses Ploss are added to Preq (Pq = Preq + Ploss).<br />
The engine model gives the performance of a single engine. The performance of the engine group<br />
is obtained by multiplying the single-engine characteristics by the number of engines operational (total<br />
number of engines less inoperable engines):<br />
˙mreqEG =(Neng − Ninop) ˙mreq<br />
˙wreqEG =(Neng − Ninop) ˙wreqKffd<br />
FNEG =(Neng − Ninop)FN<br />
DauxEG =(Neng − Ninop)Daux<br />
The fuel flow has also been multiplied by a factor accounting for deterioration of the engine efficiency.<br />
17-1.3 Installation<br />
The difference between installed and uninstalled power is the inlet and exhaust losses Ploss: Pav =<br />
Pa − Ploss and Preq = Pq − Ploss. The inlet ram recovery efficiency ηd is included in the engine-model<br />
calculations. The inlet and exhaust losses are modeled as fractions of power available or power required:<br />
Ploss =(ℓin+ℓex)Pa or Ploss =(ℓin+ℓex)Pq. Installation effects on the jet thrust are included in the engine<br />
model. The momentum drag of the auxiliary-air flow is a function of the mass flow ˙maux = faux ˙mreq:<br />
Daux =(1− ηaux) ˙mauxV =(1− ηaux)faux ˙mreqV<br />
where ηaux is the ram recovery efficiency. Exhaust losses (ℓex) and auxiliary-air-flow parameters (ηaux,<br />
faux) are defined for IRS on and off. Inlet particle-separator loss is added to the inlet losses (ℓin).<br />
17–2 Control and Loads<br />
The engine orientation is specified by selecting a nominal direction ef0 in body axes (positive or<br />
negative x, y, orz-axis; usually thrust forward, hence positive x-axis); and then applying a yaw angle<br />
ψ, then an incidence or tilt angle i (table 17-1). The yaw and incidence angles can be connected to the<br />
aircraft controls cAC:<br />
ψ = ψ0 + TψcAC<br />
i = i0 + TicAC<br />
with ψ0 and i0 zero, constant, or a function of flight speed (piecewise linear input). Hence the incidence<br />
and yaw angles can be fixed orientation or can be control variables. Optionally the lateral position of the<br />
engine group can be set equal to that of a designed rotor (useful for tiltrotors when the rotor hub lateral<br />
position is calculated from the clearance or wing geometry).
