Referred Parameter Turboshaft Engine Model 137<br />
is then ˙m0R = P0R/SP0R. The gross jet thrust Fg0C is given at MCP. These characteristics are at the<br />
specification turbine speed Nspec.<br />
The installed power required Preq and power available Pav >Preq are measured at the engine output<br />
shaft. In addition to shaft power, the engine exhaust produces a net jet thrust FN, from mass flow that<br />
goes through the engine core. The fuel flow and mass flow are the total required to produce the shaft<br />
power and jet thrust. The forces produced by mass flow that does not go through the engine core (such<br />
as IR suppressor or cooling air) are treated as momentum drag Daux.<br />
The difference between net and gross jet thrust is the momentum drag: Fn = Fg − ˙mreqV =<br />
˙mreq(Vj − V ), where Vj is the engine-jet-exhaust velocity. Note that traditional units for mass flow are<br />
pound/sec (pps), while this equation requires slug/sec ( ˙mreq/g replaces ˙mreq).<br />
The uninstalled power required is Pq, the power available Pa, the gross jet thrust Fg, and net jet thrust<br />
Fn. The engine model calculates Pa as a function of flight condition and engine rating; or calculates<br />
engine mass flow, fuel flow, and jet thrust at Pq.<br />
18–4 Installation<br />
The difference between installed and uninstalled power is the inlet and exhaust losses Ploss:<br />
Pav = Pa − Ploss<br />
Preq = Pq − Ploss<br />
The inlet ram-recovery efficiency ηd (through δM) is included in the engine model calculations. The inlet<br />
and exhaust losses are modeled as fractions of power available or power required: Ploss =(ℓin + ℓex)Pa<br />
or Ploss =(ℓin + ℓex)Pq. So<br />
Pav = Pa(1 − ℓin − ℓex)<br />
Pq = Preq/(1 − ℓin − ℓex)<br />
The engine model gives uninstalled power and the gross thrust Fg for a nominal exhaust nozzle area. The<br />
gross jet thrust FG and exhaust power loss (ℓex) are both functions of the exhaust-nozzle area. Smaller<br />
exhaust-nozzle areas increase exhaust losses and increase gross thrust. Thus the ratio of installed to<br />
uninstalled thrust is approximated by a function of the exhaust power loss:<br />
so the net installed jet thrust is<br />
FG/Fg = Kfgr = Kfgr0 + Kfgr1ℓex + Kfgr2ℓ 2 ex + Kfgr3ℓ 3 ex<br />
FN = KfgrFg − ˙mreqV<br />
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 IR suppressor on and off. Inlet particle separator loss is added to the inlet losses<br />
(ℓin).<br />
18–5 Power-Turbine Speed<br />
The shaft power available is a function of the gas power available PG and the power-turbine<br />
efficiency ηt: Pa = ηtPG. Generally the power-turbine speed N has a significant effect on ηt, but almost
