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 />

SWlim<br />

˙m0C ≥ ˙mlim<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).
