The effects of inlet temperature and pressure distortion on turbojet performance

摘要

The effects on stability of steady-state, 180 degree extent circumferential distortions of inlet total temperature and pressure were experimentally determined for a turbojet engine. Results for both individual and combined temperature and pressure distortions are presented showing the losses incurred in stall pressure ratio and are compared with results predicted using a simplified parallel compressor model. The loss due to combined distortions was dependent upon the relative orientation between the low pressure and high temperature regions. Reasonable agreement was achieved between the predicted and observed loss in stall pressure ratio when based on a constant corrected speed relationship.
