Combined with the advantages of laser de-weight, such as, fast processing speed high machining precision and good machined surface quality, the smooth transition of the machined surface was realized by means of hierarchical machining. According to the characteristics of the turbopump rotor structure, the equivalent transformation model for laser de-weight turbopump rotor was built to convert the unbalance into laser processing parameters, which achieve the rapid and accurate de-weight of turbopump rotor. It focuses on solving the repeatedly loading and low accuracy of manual grinding dynamic balance. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique, laser de-weight experiments were carried out on two turbopump rotor test pieces. A dynamic balance test bench was set up to measure the rotor residual unbalance at 1800 r/min test speed, which is low dynamic balance. The results show that the machined surface transition was smooth, the residual unbalance was small and the machining efficiency was high. The effect of laser de-weight dynamic balance reached the expectation. It is an universal technology which is not limited to the dynamic balance of turbopump rotor, but also applicable to other rotating machinery..","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46250170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During engine ground testing, strain gauges on rotor fan blades and casing vibration sensors were employed to investigate structural dynamic aspects. The correlation between strain sensor signals and fan casing vibration signals allowed the diagnosis of fluttering fan blades. For automated flutter detection during engine development testing, a machine learning-augmented information fusion methodology was developed. The method analyses casing vibration signals by extracting time-domain statistical features, intrinsic mode function characteristics through empirical mode decomposition, and recurrence quantification features. Feature vectors obtained from a relatively large set of engine tests were subjected to dimension reduction by applying machine learning techniques to rank them. Reduced feature vector space was labelled as “flutter” or “normal” based on the correlation of rotor strain gauge signals. In addition, the labelled feature vectors were employed to train classifier models using supervised learning-based algorithms such as Support Vector Machines, Linear Discriminant Analysis, K-means Clustering, and Artificial Neural Networks. Using only vibration signals from the casing, the trained and validated classifiers were able to detect flutter in fan baldes with a 99% probability during subsequent testing.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42454644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To minimize the separation phenomenon in the compressor cascade, a passive flow control device i.e. Micro Vortex Generator (MVG) is utilized. MVG is a very simple and lightweight attachment mounted infront of the leading edge of the cascade blade. Due to being passive in nature, it neither consumes power nor requires any external device to actuate. The numerical simulations were carried out on a highly loaded compressor cascade at an angle of incidence of −1° under subsonic conditions at Mach number 0.2. The profile of the compressor cascade blade was double circular arc (DCA), unsymmetrical and cambered at 40°. Two different types of micro vortex generators were mounted infront of the leading edge in the compressor cascade to control the secondary flows since secondary flows were responsible for various losses in cascade. To analyze the flow under incompressoible state of air (M = 0.2), Star CCM + software has been used. To simulate the flow under turbulent condition, k-ω SST turbulence model was used. A velocity profile of 25 mm boundary layer thickness was extracted and used as an input in the compressor cascade. Mounting of MVG on compressor cascade enhanced drag but also increased lift. Total pressure loss coefficient (TPLC) was calculated to compare the losses. The aerodynamic efficiency in terms of coefficient of lift and coefficient of drag has been used to study the effect of MVG over cascade. It is found that there is reduction in total pressure loss coefficient (TPLC) for trapezoidal and curved trapezoidal types of MVGs and the decrease in percentage are 2.17 and 8.86%, respectively. Alos, aerodynamic efficiency is increased by mounting trapezoidal and curved trapezoidal types of MVG and the increase in percentages are 2.03 and 3.10%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49510946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with Apparatus A, Apparatus B enables a 1.60–2.25% higher temperature drop coefficient and a 1.1–3.0% higher water evaporation rate. Six high-altitude conditions are simulated to find that the spray device and water injection are the main factors causing flow loss, whereas the additional mass flow caused by water vapor reduces the amount of loss. The highest temperature drop coefficient is observed for Case 6 (27.3%), in which there is a more uniform nozzle arrangement. A slight difference in terms of total pressure drop coefficient between Apparatus A and Apparatus B is observed.

Different cases of total pressure and total temperature boundary conditions at this compressor inlet are studied by 3-D numerical simulations with experimental validations. The numerical results confirm that the variations of inlet total pressure and total temperature make different effects on the rated condition performance of compressor. The overall performance parameters, such as the corrected mass flow and isentropic efficiency, will increase with inlet total pressure increasing and decrease with inlet total temperature increasing by different change rules. The flow similarity is also investigated by comparing the calculated results of critical quantities in different cases. The results indicate that the rising inlet total pressure can increase the Reynolds number and it is beneficial to reduce the viscous influence so that it is available to improve the performance; the rising inlet total temperature can decrease both the specific heat ratio and Reynolds number so that it will lead to the compressor performance decline inevitably.","PeriodicalId":50284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Turbo & Jet-Engines","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44795898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vanes are positioned inside the nozzle near the exit, inclined to the flow with the longitudinal direction of the jet. Two configurations namely, straight vanes (k = 0 mm−1) and curved vanes (k = 0.05 mm−1) are considered. Curvature k is defined as the reciprocal of the radius of the vanes. The blockage due to the presence of the vanes is 0.5%. The total pressure variation along the jet centreline and along the radial distance is determined from nozzle exit at a Mach number of 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8.
