A method of cycle analysis for aircraft gas-turbine power plants driving propellers

Description: Report presenting an investigation to develop a convenient and accurate method for analyzing gas-turbine cycles to aid in predicting the performance of propeller-driving power plants and the state of the gas at various stations within the power plant. The method takes into account the effects of ram, altitude, variation of specific heats, increase in weight flow due to the addition of fuel, and thrusts from the exhaust jet.

Evaluation of a Ducted-Fan Power Plant Designed for High Output and Good Cruise Fuel Economy

Description: Theoretical analysis of performance of a ducted-fan power plant designed both for high-output, high-altitude operation at low supersonic Mach numbers and for good fuel economy at lower fight speeds is presented. Performance of ducted fan is compared with performance (with and without tail-pipe burner) of two hypothetical turbojet engines. At maximum power, the ducted fan has propulsive thrust per unit of frontal area between thrusts obtained by turbojet engines with and without tail-pipe burner… more
