Referred Parameter Turboshaft Engine Model 141<br />
where P is the installed takeoff power (SLS static, specified rating) per engine. A constant weight per<br />
power W/P is given by using only K1eng. Alternatively, the specific weight SW = P/W can be scaled<br />
with the mass flow ˙m0C. The scaling is determined from the specific weight SWref at the reference mass<br />
flow ˙mref; and either the limit SWlim at ˙mlim (for ˙mref < ˙mlim) or the intercept SWzero at ˙m =0(for<br />
˙mref ≥ ˙mlim). Then<br />
SW =<br />
and Wone eng = P/SW.<br />
SWzero + Ksw1 ˙m0C = Ksw0 + Ksw1 ˙m0C<br />

In this engine model, only the reference values and scaling constants are dimensional. Conventional<br />
English units and SI units are shown in table 18-2. Units of specific power and specific fuel consumption<br />
follow from these conventions.<br />

18–12 Typical Parameters<br />
Typical values of the principal parameters describing the engine and its performance are given in<br />
table 18-3 for several generic engine sizes. These values represent good current technology. Advanced<br />
technology can be introduced by reducing the specific fuel consumption and weight, and increasing the<br />
specific power. Typical ratios of the power, specific power, and mass flow to the values at MCP are given<br />
in table 18-4 for several ratings. Figure 18-1 shows typical performance characteristics: fuel flow ˙w,<br />
mass flow ˙m, and net jet thrust Fg variation with power P and speed (referred quantities, normalized, at<br />
Nspec). Figure 18-2 shows typical variation of the power available with engine-turbine speed. Figures<br />
18-3 to 18-8 show typical power-available characteristics: specific power SP, mass flow ˙m, and power P<br />
variation with temperature ratio θ, for static and 200 knots conditions and several engine ratings (referred<br />
quantities, normalized, at Nspec).
