CLASIFICATION OF AEROENGINES

Aircraft power plants (engines) are internal combustion engines and are of two types: Type one: piston engines or intermittent combustion engines Type two: air breathing engines or continuous combustion engines Type two can be subdivided into engines: - Without gas generator which include: * Athodyd (Aero thermodynamic ducts) which includes: The Ram jets, and The Pulse jets. * Rockets which could be: Solid fuel, or Liquid fuel. - With gas generator which includes: * Turbojet engines that can be of: Single spool, or Double spool. * Bypass engines that can have: Front fan, or After fan. * Turbo shaft engines that can be: Helicopter engine, or Turbo propeller engine.

Definitions

2.3.2: Engine Performance: This includes the evaluation of the following parameters.

Propulsive efficiency: is the ratio of thrust power (TU) to the rate of production of propellant kinetic energy.

Thermal efficiency: is the ratio of rate of addition of kinetic energy to the propellant to the total energy consumption.

Propeller efficiency: is the ratio of thrust power to the shaft power.

Overall efficiency: is the product of propulsive efficiency by the thermal efficiency.

A/C range Specific fuel consumption (SFC): is the ratio of mass of fuel consumed to the thrust produced (TSFC). Or the ratio of mass of fuel consumed to the shaft power (BSFC). Or the ratio of mass of fuel consumed to the equivalent shaft power (EBSFC).
