METHOD AND DEVICE TO AVOID TURBOFAN INSTABILITY IN A GAS TURBINE ENGINE. |
摘要 |
<p>(A1) A turbofan engine control system is provided for managing a fan operating line. The engine (10) includes a spool having a turbine housed in a core nacelle (12). A turbofan (20) is coupled to the spool (14). A fan nacelle (34) surrounds the turbofan and core nacelle and provides a bypass flow path having a nozzle exit area (40). A controller (50) is programmed to effectively change the nozzle exit area in response to an undesired turbofan stability margin which may result in a stall or flutter condition. In one example, the physical nozzle exit area is increased at the undesired stability condition in which the airflow into the engine creates a destabilizing pressure gradient at the inlet side of the turbofan. A turbofan pressure ratio, turbofan pressure gradient, low spool speed and throttle position are monitored to determine the undesired turbofan stability margin.</p> |
