Transient modelling and simulation of gas turbine secondary air system [PDF]
Abstract The behaviour of the jet engine during transient operation and specifically its secondary air system (SAS) is the point of this work. This paper presents a methodological approach to develop a fast, one-dimensional transient platform for preliminary analysis of the flow behaviour in gas turbine engines secondary air system. For this purpose,

The Effect of Break Edge Configuration on the Aerodynamics of Anti-Ice Jet Flow
One of the components of a turboprop gas turbine engine is the Front Bearing Structure (FBS) which leads air into the compressor. FBS directly encounters with ambient air, as a consequence ice accretion may occur on its static vanes.

Numerical simulation of a supersonic ejector for vacuum generation with explicit and implicit solver in openfoam [PDF]
Supersonic ejectors are used extensively in all kind of applications: compression of refrigerants in cooling systems, pumping of volatile fluids or in vacuum generation. In vacuum generation, also known as zero-secondary flow, the ejector has a transient

Simulation of the Secondary Air System of Aero Engines [PDF]
This paper describes a computer program for the simulation of secondary air systems. Typical flow system elements are presented, such as restrictors, tappings, seals, vortices, and coverplates. Two-phase flow as occuring in bearing chamber vent systems is briefly discussed.

Closed-loop bulk air conditioning: A renewable energy-based system for deep mines in arctic regions
With depletion of shallow deposits, the number of underground mines expected to reach more than 3 km depth during their lifetime is growing. Although surface cooling plants are mostly effective in mine air-conditioning, usually secondary cooling units ...
