The Simulation of Gas Turbines by a State of the Art Analog Device

摘要

A simulator was designed to model the operation of a single shaft gas turbine engine. The engine characteristics were represented by a third order non linear mathematical model implemented with analog computation. The use of 'state of the art' integrated circuitry allowed for a considerable reduction in the space and power required for this device compared with conventional analog methods. A hard-wired desk-top machine was fabricated to simulate the real time dynamic behavior of a gas turbine prime mover. (Author)
