In this thesis, a computer software for the cycle design of a turboshaft engine is developed. Firstly, a numerical air model was implemented and the model of the turboshaft to be used in the simulation was selected. The first requirement for the software is the capability of performing design point calculations and parametric studies. This feature, which is the initial part of an aircraft engine design, was integrated into the software. At this point, to have a better estimation of the component performances, basic efficiency estimation modules of compressor, combustor and turbines were developed and embedded into the code. After setting the design point of the engine, the software can give insight to the designer about operating at different points from the design point in the operating envelope of the aircraft. In order to accomplish the off-design performance estimations, the map scaling technique was used with the reference maps and matching of the components of the designed turboshaft was programmed with the Newton-Raphson iteration technique. In addition to the off-design performance estimations, the dynamic behavior (transient) estimation module of the software was developed. After all, a GUI (Graphical User Interface) was constructed for the use of each parts of the software in a “user-friendly” environment. The results of the code were compared with the engine performance data and the commercially available program “GasTurb11” in order to confirm the reliability of the software to perform preliminary engine design studies.

Development of aero-thermodynamic cycle design code for turboshaft engines and investigation of fouling effects on performance
Sadıkoğlu, Umut; Baran, Özgür Uğraş; Baş, Onur; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8-04)
In this thesis, a turboshaft engine performance analysis code is developed on MATLAB. Furthermore, compressor map generation from limited data and deterioration effects on the engine performance are investigated. It is considered that the first step of designing a gas turbine is the selection of the aero-thermodynamic cycle. For this purpose, design point analysis with the parametric design capability is conducted and engine limits are determined. Subsequently, off-design analyses are initiated. During the ...
Development of a high-fideliity transient aerothermal model for a helicopter turboshaft engine for inlet distortion and engine deterioration simulations
Novikov, Yaroslav; Uzol, Oğuz; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012)
Presented in this thesis is the development of a high-fidelity aerothermal model for GE T700 turboshaft engine. The model was constructed using thermodynamic relations governing change of flow properties across engine components, and by applying real component maps for the compressor and turbines as well as empirical relations for specific heats. Included in the model were bleed flows, turbine cooling and heat sink effects. Transient dynamics were modeled using inter-component volumes method in which mass i...

Design and implementation of a mems based spiral channel dielectrophoretic separator for cytometry applications
Yılmaz, Gürkan; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
This thesis reports design and implementation of a MEMS based spiral channel dielectrophoretic separator for cytometry applications. Main objective of the thesis is to separate leukemia cells from healthy leukocytes with respect to the differences in their dielectric properties. A novel MEMS based dielectrophoretic separator with spiral channels and concentric 3D electrodes has been proposed. The proposed geometry decreased the footprint, which reduces the device cost, without degrading the separation and q...
