The focus of this paper is on small low-cost turbojet engines equipped with a gear-type fuel pump rather than a more traditional fuel metering unit. The incorporation of such type of fuel flow actuation devices introduce additional nonlinearities into the system and therefore make traditional modeling and system identification methods difficult to apply. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear fast engine model structure that can be used for various applications, including identification, modeling and simulation, and controller design of such sub-class turbojet engines. A high-fidelity turbojet engine model including its nonlinear gear-type fuel pump is developed, which is later used to generate the fast engine model. The parameters of the fast engine model are estimated using regression analysis. The identification procedure is also applied to real engine test data to verify the proposed approach.

Validation of MISES Two-Dimensional Boundary Layer Code for High-Pressure Turbine Aerodynamic Design ANDREW, PHILIP; Kahveci, Harika Senem (ASME International, 2009-07-01) Avoiding aerodynamic separation and excessive shock losses in gas turbine turbomachinery components can reduce fuel usage and thus reduce operating cost. In order to achieve this, blading designs should be made robust to a wide range of operating conditions. Consequently, a design tool is needed-one that can be executed quickly for each of many operating conditions and on each of several design sections, which will accurately capture loss, turning, and loading. This paper presents the validation of a bounda...
Storage reliability analysis of solid rocket propellants Hasanoğlu, Mehmet Sinan; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) Solid propellant rocket motor is the primary propulsion technology used for short and medium range missiles. It is also commonly used as boost motor in many di_erent applications. Its wide spread usage gives rise to diversity of environments in which it is handled and stored. Ability to predict the storage life of solid propellants plays an important role in the design and selection of correct protective environments. In this study a methodology for the prediction of solid propellant storage life using cumu...
Aerothermodynamic modeling and simulation of gas turbines for transient operating conditions Koçer, Gülru; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008) In this thesis, development of a generic transient aero-thermal gas turbine model is presented. A simulation code, gtSIM is developed based on an algorithm which is composed of a set of differential equations and a set of non-linear algebraic equations representing each gas turbine engine component. These equations are the governing equations which represents the aero-thermodynamic process of the each engine component and they are solved according to a specific solving sequence which is defined in the simul...
Flight control system design for an over actuated UAV against actuator failures Işık, Sinem; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010) This thesis describes the automatic flight control systems designed for a conventional and an over actuated unmanned air vehicle (UAV). A nonlinear simulation model including the flight mechanics equations together with the interpolated nonlinear aerodynamics, environmental effects, mass-inertia properties, thrust calculations and actuator dynamics is created; trim and linearization codes are developed. Automatic flight control system of the conventional UAV is designed by using both classical and robust co...
Optimization of Flapping Motion Parameters for Two Airfoils in a Biplane Configuration Kaya, Mustafa; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Jones, Kevin D.; Platzer, Max F. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2009-03-01) Flapping motion parameters of airfoils in a biplane configuration are optimized for maximum thrust and/or propulsive efficiency. Unsteady, viscous flowfields over airfoils flapping in a combined plunge and pitch are computed with a parallel flow solver on moving and deforming overset grids. The amplitudes of the sinusoidal pitch and plunge motions and the phase shift between them are optimized for a range of flapping frequencies. A gradient-based optimization algorithm is implemented in a parallel computing...
