DESING AND ANALYSIS OF AN AXIAL COMPRESSOR FOR A TURBOFAN ENGINE
Abstract
Turbofan engines are used to provide thrust force by using the high temperature and pressure gases flow from the nozzle to move passenger planes or war jet planes. Turbofan engines consist of complicated parts such as axial fan, compressor, combustion chamber, turbine, which are manufactured with high engineering knowledge. Therefore, it needs to be well designed, analyzed and manufactured. In this study, an axial compressor of a warplane turbofan engine was designed and analyzed with AxStream software. Results were compared with real turbofan engine measured values, furthermore, computed flued dynamic and strain analysis were performed to evaluate compressor design parameters. Results showed that the polyprotic efficiency of the designed compressor was 2 % higher than the actual compressor. Furthermore, similar pressure and temperature were obtained at the outlet of the designed compressor.
