AeroEngineS

AeroEngineS is a versatile application designed to enhance understanding and analysis of various aircraft engine performances at the design point. It is ideal for professionals involved in engineering, aerospace studies, or enthusiasts fascinated by aircraft mechanics, offering a deep dive into engine functionalities in both subsonic and supersonic environments.

Key functionalities include detailed performance analysis for different engine types such as 1-spool turbojet, 2-spool turbofan, boosted 2-spool turbofan, and 3-spool turbofan. Users gain access to insights on thermodynamic cycles, nozzle area performance including thrust and power dynamics, and mass flow calculations encompassing core, bypass, and fuel channels.

One of the standout features of this tool is its capacity for automatic calculations, which significantly streamlines complex processes. These calculations include ambient conditions based on flight altitude using the International Standard Atmosphere model, and specific constants like Cp, gamma, and R for each engine component adjusting to temperature variations and fuel-to-air ratios. Furthermore, the app computes isentropic efficiency for each compressor and turbine, guided by polytropic efficiency and pressure ratio metrics.

For those dealing with compressor maps, the app provides an innovative predicting tool which employs scaling techniques on existing High Pressure Compressor (HPC) maps and utilizes artificial neural networks to interpolate data.

In addition to performance metrics, the application includes an emissions calculation feature for aircraft engines, focusing on the Landing and Take-Off (LTO) cycle and cruise conditions. This helps in assessing environmental impacts and complying with regulatory standards.

Venturing into more advanced territories, it also covers hybrid precooled rocket engines, analyzing thermodynamic cycles using air, hydrogen, and helium as working fluids.

AeroEngineS serves as an invaluable tool, providing robust insights and analytical data to optimize and understand aircraft engine operations comprehensively. It is beneficial for academic purposes, professional development, or ensuring regulatory compliance, significantly enhancing capabilities in the aerospace sector.
