138 Referred Parameter Turboshaft Engine Model<br />
no effect on PG. The model used for the efficiency variation is ηt ∼ = 1 −|(N/Nopt) − 1| XNη, where Nopt<br />
is the speed for peak efficiency, hence<br />
P (N) ηt(N)<br />
=<br />
P (Nspec) ηt(Nspec) = 1 −|(N/Nopt) − 1| XNη<br />
1 −|(Nspec/Nopt) − 1| XNη<br />
Two approximations for the optimum turbine speed are used. The first is a linear expression in p =<br />
P/(P0Rδ √ θ):<br />

Nopt = Nspec θ KNoptA θM + KNoptB<br />

and the second is a cubic function of p = P/(P0Cδ √ θ):<br />
√ <br />
Nopt = Nopt0C θ KNopt0 + KNopt1p + KNopt2p 2 + KNopt3p 3 [θM ] XNopt<br />
The second expression is based on a larger data sample. For power-available calculations, P = Pa(Nspec);<br />
for power-required calculations, P = Pq(N).<br />
18–6 Power Available<br />
Given the flight condition and engine rating, the power available Pa is calculated as follows. The<br />
specific power and referred mass flow (at Nspec, relative to SP0 and ˙m0 for this rating) are approximated<br />
by functions of the ambient temperature ratio θ and inlet ram air ratios:<br />
SPa(Nspec) =SP0 θKspa<br />
˙ma(Nspec) = ˙m0<br />

where the static lapse rate (Kspa, Kmfa) and ram air exponents (Xspa, Xmfa) are piecewise linear<br />
functions of θ. The power available is then<br />

This expression for ˙ma is used only to calculate Pa; elsewhere the ˙mq expression for performance at<br />
power required is used to obtain the mass flow at a power Pq. Finally<br />
Pa(N) =Pa(Nspec)<br />
1 −|(N/Nopt) − 1| XNη<br />
1 −|(Nspec/Nopt) − 1| XNη<br />
is the power available at turbine speed N. Installation losses Ploss are subtracted from Pa (Pav =<br />
Pa − Ploss), and then the mechanical limit is applied: Pav = min(Pav,PmechR).<br />
18-6.1 Piecewise Linear Parameters<br />
Several parameters K are input as piecewise linear functions of the temperature ratio θ. One format<br />
of the input is a set of I regions, with the function in the i-th region given by K = K0i + K1iθ. The break<br />
point between the i and i − 1 regions is<br />
θbi = − K0i − K 0(i−1)<br />
K1i − K 1(i−1)<br />
Kbi = K0i + K1iθb
