Triple-Spool Non-Mixing High-Bypass Turbofan Engine (Simulation.py)
The thrust should decrease as the bypass ratio decreases because the bypass ratio controls how much of the fluid goes through the bypass. More fluid going through the bypass means less thrust.
The TSFC should decrease as the bypass ratio decreases because the bypass ratio controls how much of the fluid goes through the bypass. More fluid going through the bypass means less thrust and lower TSFC.
Thrust decreases as speed increases because thrust is related to the change in velocity of the exit to the entrance.
The faster you want to fly, the more it costs in fuel. Generally, we want to fly faster to get to the destination faster.
This plot looks correct up until 11000 m, thrust should increase as altitude increases. At 11000 m the temperature is constant and in this plot the thrust is constant. The thrust should continue to increase because pressure will still exponentially decrease. For these reasons the model is not correct as it assumes a varying exit area when in reality the area would be fixed.
This plot looks correct up until 11000 m, TSFC should increase as altitude increases. At 11000 m the temperature is constant and, in this plot, the TSFC is constant. The TSFC should continue to increase because pressure will still exponentially decrease. For these reasons the model is not correct as it assumes a varying exit area when in reality the area would be fixed.
Core pressure ratio should increase as altitude goes up because at higher altitudes the exit total atmospheric pressure is lower. At 11000 m the pressure ratio is constant which is not correct, it should continue to increase.
As altitude increases the core thrust increases and bypass thrust decreases. This makes sense except after 11000 m.
This makes sense for the IPC because you only want to compress the fluid to a certain point before the combustor is basically doing nothing. As pressure increases temperature also increases. The LPC is similar except we are still getting good thrust out of it before that happens.
This makes sense because it requires more fuel to increase the turbine outputs and in turn increase exit pressure.
This makes sense because if we get more efficient then we get more thrust.
This makes sense because if we get more efficient then we burn less fuel.
This makes sense because if we get more efficient then we burn less fuel.
