Computerized Aeronautical Gas Turbine

The engine is a small compact free turbine engine.  It comprises a gas generator and an accessory drive assembly. The gas generator incorporates a centrifugal compressor, an axial flow turbine rotating unit and an ignition and combustion system. The engine is mounted a sturdy Mild steel frame with caster wheels. The software calculates the thrust, temperature and pressure readings using the Brayton cycle formulae. This calculated thrust can be compared with the measured thrust. The software also calculates the turbine entry pressure.

The user has access to a wide range of data acquisition, graph plotting and display functions. As well as the standard graph plotting functions, a special routine has been written to display H – S diagrams (Entropy – Enthalpy diagrams) which are of particular interest in thermodynamics.
