Summary of the test results with the results for contemporary applied fuel allows drawing the conclusions about the turboprop engine performance change by various fuel application. Main of them refers to the point that higher combustion heat value of fuel and higher heat constant of fumes cause better engine work conditions By this way the hydrogen seems to be perspective fuel of future, because its combustion heat value is three times JET A-1 and by this way it is possible the engine fuel consumption will be lower.

At the beginning, on the basis of scientific literature analysis possible benefits were pointed out which follow from modification of a turbofan aircraft engine. First of all, the attention was drawn to a possibility to limit the gas temperature in the exhaust area of a combustion chamber, which helps to reduce NOx in relation to currently used aircraft engines. Then, a design solution scheme of a two combustor engine was presented. It was discussed how this solution modifies the engine cycle. The assumptions and the adopted limitations in the stage of preparing a numerical model of the engine were presented. The main parameters of the engine operating which were used to estimate its functional qualities were characterized. On the bases of an existing high bypass ratio turbofan engine and the assumptions concerning the influence of the mentioned modification of the engine to its internal characteristics performance properties of a two combustor engine in variable performance conditions were determined: for different speeds and flight altitudes. The results were graphically illustrated in the charts in the form of dependences of thrust, specific thrust, fuel consumption and specific fuel consumption vs. the flight speed for different altitudes. In the discussion of the obtained results performance characteristics for standard a high bypass ratio turbofan engine were referred to. On this basis possible benefits which follow from exploitation of the two combustor engine were shown. This engine is characterized by better performance characteristics in comparison to a conventional turbofan engine in the range of transonic velocity. It was pointed out that despite a little higher specific fuel consumption in takeoff conditions it can be more economic in further exploitation cycle, which in the case of the aircraft for which it is dedicated, takes place mostly at a transonic velocity at the altitude of about 11 km.

In the military application the turbofan mixer engines are used. Although the turbofan mixer engines are applied for a long time, the information about exact analysis of their thermodynamic cycle and performance are still incomplete. The thermodynamic cycle of the turbofan mixer engine is presented and discussed in this paper. Based on it cycle parameters selection is discussed. Then the optimization of turbofan mixer engine cycle is presented. Final results present the influence of chosen engine cycle parameters on the engine performance. The results are analyzed and discussed. On the basis of them the conclusions are formulated. It is not such an easy process to choose for the turbofan mixer engine thermodynamic parameters. It is connected with the fulfilment of two important rules. The equalization of total pressure of mixer inflow stream for mixer efficient work is the first of it. The other rule i...

Next the conception of turbofan engine with two combustors is presented, and an engine thermodynamic cycle is analysed. The proposed engine it is a modification of the contemporary turbofan engine by addition of another combustor. First one is classical combustor located between high pressure compressor and turbine. Second one is located between high pressure turbine and low pressure turbine. This conception allows to lower the high pressure turbine inlet temperature. The second combustor increases energy of gasses inflow the low pressure turbine to the sufficient level for fan drive. The results of numerical analysis are used to show performance of the proposed engine and to present their advantages with compare to the classical turbofan engine construction. Then some other positive aspects of two combustors engine are discussed. It refers to possibilities of pollution emission reduction and overhau...

Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na zespół napędowy, wskazując na jego istotną rolę w zapewnieniu bezpieczeństwa eksploatacji całego statku powietrznego. Na podstawie analizy instrukcji eksploatacji wybranych samolotów lekkich oraz produkowanych do nich silników dokonano przeglądu procedur postępowania w stanach awaryjnych zespołu napędowego. Następnie wykonano analizę przyczyn wypadków w klasie samolotów lekkich, gdzie wskazano na znaczący udział wypadków spowodowanych awarią zespołu napędowego w ogólnej liczbie wypadków w tej klasie statków powietrznych. Wykonano analizę liczby wypadków ze skutkiem śmiertelnym, wskazując, Ŝe awarie zespołu napędowego nie mają w tym względzie znaczącego udziału. Wskazano jednak, Ŝe co 12. wypadek spowodowany awarią tego zespołu pociąga za sobą ofiary śmiertelne. Wyniki analizy wypadkowości samolotów lekkich skonfrontowano z zaleceniami instrukcji dotyczącej postępowania w stanach awaryjnych zespołu napędowego. PosłuŜyło to do opracowania wniosków na temat aktualnego stanu bezpieczeństwa eksploatacji, jak teŜ zaleceń na przyszłość, w celu podnoszenia niezawodności i bezpieczeństwa eksploatacji samolotów lekkich.

The cooling systems of the contemporary jet engines are briefly described in the first part of the paper. Than the models of various turbine, cooling systems are presented and discussed. The main scope of the paper is the turbine cooling system consisted of internal convection cooling and external film cooling of turbine blades. This cooling system is commonly used in contemporary military and civil turbojet engines. The model of the internal-external cooling turbine incorporated in the overall jet engine model is presented and discussed. Some simplifying assumptions are discussed. Then the results of the jet engine calculation taking into account the proposed model are presented in the tables. The results are compared with results obtained by simple model of the jet engine with cooling turbine. The simple model is commonly applied for 1D turbojet engine analysis. Based on this analysis, some aspects of the turbojet engine calculation with reference to different models applied for description of the turbine cooling process are presented and discussed. The analysis allowed formulating some conclusions, which are presented in the final part of the paper. One of them is that proposed model of cooling turbine allows to calculate of coolant mass flow, while the simple models of cooling turbine require the assumption of coolant mass. By this way the calculation results accuracy by the use of simple model, strictly depend on the proper assumption of coolant mass flow.

Based on this, the state of the art in the contemporary turbofan engines is presented and their change in the last decade is briefly summarized. The main scope of the work is the bypass ratio growth analysis. It is discussed for classical turbofan engine scheme. The next step is presentation of reach this goal by application of an additional combustor located between high and low pressure turbines. The numerical model for fast analysis of bypass ratio grows for both engine kinds are presented. Based on it, the numerical simulation of bypass engine increasing is studied. The assumption to carry out this study is a common core engine. For classical turbofan engine bypass ratio grow is compensated by fan pressure ratio reduction. For inter turbine burner turbofan, bypass grown is compensated by additional energy input into the additional combustor. Presented results are plo...
