Abstract
During the forthcoming years many new aircrafts such as A350 and B787 are beingdesigned and continually improved. With these new aircrafts and systems, new en-gines needs to be designed as well, to meet certain requirements such as fuel burnand weight improvement. In this thesis, a baseline engine with technical specifi-cations consistent with a year 2010 EIS has been selected, and the goal was tocreate a preliminary design of a new engine named AN15 with year entry into ser-vice (EIS) 2025 specifications. While no mechanical or cost analyses were performed,main emphasis was on thermodynamic and aerodynamic analysis. Literature studieswere performed by reading scientific articles combined with books and educationalpapers. It was very useful and it also let the students know which direction thedevelopment of jet engines are going. The thermodynamical analysis was performedin NPSS (Numerical Propulsion System Simulation). A code, written in C++,was produced in order to fit the requirements of a 3-shafted turbofan engine andwith the acquired knowledge from the literature studies it was thermodynamicallyanalysed. The thermodynamical analysis included optimizing parameters such astemperatures and pressure ratios to have an engine as efficient as possible. Oncethe thermodynamical analysis was done, MATLAB was used to write a script whichcovered the aerodynamical design such as plotting aspects as well as calculationswhich were available from open literatures. Velocity triangles for compressor andturbine components in the engine was also generated through the MATLAB script.The result was a 3-shafted turbofan jet engine which had almost the same length asthe baseline engine, a 21% larger fan diameter and a fuel burn improvement of 11%compared to the baseline engine. Some of the main conclusions were that propulsiveefficiency was increased, but also that the development is going towards jet enginedesigns with lower fuel consumption.

Malardalen University 1 Introduction
1 Introduction
In recent years, major engine manufacturers have been trying to develop replacement engines forthe new generations of long haul aircrafts, Boeing 787, Airbus A380 and A350. The manufacturersare continually evaluating and revising their technical and business plans to make sure that theymeet the objective of these aircrafts. Rolls Royce has been developing the new engines Trent 1000and Trent XWB engines during the last few years and they have revealed their road map for thecoming years. Rolls Royce wants to expand their engine programs further by creating engines thathave higher bypass ratios, improved cruise propulsive as well as reduced fuel consumption andemissions for an entry into service around in 2025 or beyond.
1.1 Problem Formulation
The main problem was to retain the core of the baseline engine (an EIS 2010 baseline engine)and generate a new LP/IP system that fitted around it, using aerodynamic similarities. Anotherproblem was also regarding the fuel consumption and emissions; the new engine was supposed toburn less fuel and produce less emissions through a lower SFC.
With new techniques and development come new requirements. For example, low cost carriershave taken a big part of the market in just a couple of years. This means that the carriers needengines that produce the same thrust and/or propulsive efficiency at the same time as they arelighter. They also need engines that reduce the maintenance costs and are as reliable as possible.With lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions and less maintenance costs, many airlines makeit cheaper to fly than traveling by train or car.
If a number of parameters, for example OPR, BPR and TIT are increased, then a reduction ofthe fuel consumption will be achieved. Since the CO2 emissions are directly proportional to thefuel consumption, this also means that the emissions from the engine will be reduced.
1.2 Aims and objectives
The aim of this project was to design a new three-spool, high bypass ratio turbofan for entry intoservice around year 2025 for use on twin-engine, wide-body passenger and freight aircraft.
The objective of this project was to investigate whether a reduced fuel burn as a result of achange in fan diameter, EIS and hence propulsive efficiency (assuming a common core) could beachieved or not. To assess this, a generic three-shaft engine model was used as the project baselineand comparisons were made against a variant model for a reduced specific thrust engine design.
1.3 Limitations
The students that carried out this thesis were writing a 15 hp Bachelor thesis in ten weeks. In linewith recommendation from the IDT committee a full detailed design was not feasible. Mechanicalanalyses as well as cost analyses were not performed, so the work focused on conceptual designaspects utilizing as much as possible the design work inherited from previous undergraduate studentthesis.

2 Literature review
During this project, a large number of articles and publications were studied. In this chapter,some of the most important topics will be reviewed and summarized. During the literature review,it was hard to find articles about the change in SFC over fan sizing, hence the objective of thisproject got even more interesting to investigate.
2.1 Fuel consumption
As written in section 1.1, fuel consumption is a big and very interesting part of the engine. Asearly as 1976, reducing fuel consumption has been discussed. Back then, conventional and heat-exchanged cores were analysed as well as looking into geared and open rotor arrangements. Roughly15 years later, Peacock and Sadler started to bring up the subject again, but this time they focusedon a rather advanced technology, namely UHBR configuration [1]. With engines serving aircraftsin the first decade of the 21th century, a BPR of 9:1 [2] is achieved (on a B777 with GE90 engines),but in the future (around year 2025), a BPR of 12-20:1 is expected.
Another design theory for reducing fuel consumption is with the help from a recuperator. Arecuperator is located at the end of the LP-turbine and if the air in the LP-turbine is hotter thanthe air in HP-compressor, it will use the LPT air to pre-heat the HPC air. This means that thelarger temperature difference between the LPT and HPC air, the better effectiveness from therecuperator will be achieved. This will increase the overall efficiency of the engine.

2.2 Materials
Material is also a very important factor when it comes to the design of the engine. In the previoussection, different kinds of BPR’s were discussed. An UHBR engine needs a bigger duct than aHBR engine in order to achieve the same efficiency. This means that if the UHBR engine doesn’tuse different materials, it will burn more fuel since it will weigh more than the HBR engine. Soto compensate this, another material must be used in order to have the same fuel consumption.However, the cost of the material must be considered. It can’t cost too much, but at the sametime the material must be strong enough and fulfill some certain requirements.
Parts of the engine where materials are interesting to analyze are the hot sections such as theturbines. Hot sections are generally very interesting because of the high temperatures that occursin these sections. Generally, HP and IP turbines use single crystal metal while LP turbines useInconel 718.
2.3 Conceptual design tools
During the years of airplane engine evolution, computers have become a very essential and im-portant tool to make demanding calculations. Today several different calculation programs andlanguages are used for different purposes. In this section some of these will be quickly reviewed.
In [3] a computer language called FORTRAN is introduced. FORTRAN has been used sincethe 1950s and because of its age it has certain limitations when it comes to compatibility withcurrent control design and analysis tools. FORTRAN can be used for many different purposes,but for jet engines it is widely used with the object-oriented code WATE.
WATE was originally developed by Boeing [4] in the late 1970s. It was supposed to be used byNASA but today other companies use it as well. It is used to calculate the weight and dimensionof each major engine section like the compressor, combustor, turbine and frames. For example thiscode has been used to calculate weight and dimension of the engine belonging to the Boeing 777,GE90.
Today with the current technology, other more newly developed programs as MATLAB andSimulink are being more considered when it comes to engine design, mainly because of the currentrequirements in system development [3]. Such advanced programs in software modelling with moresuitable graphical interfaces make it easier to control the whole conceptual design process of anengine. Engine parameters and engine health can easily be assessed with these tools.
Other means of performing specific calculations during the development of an engine designhave been made through several EU financed projects in the 21st century and NEW AeroengineCore concepts (NEWAC) is one of them. TERA2020 is a tool developed through those projectsin cooperation with close university partners with a purpose of making a more automated concep-tual design of an engine. [5] It is used for performance modeling as well as sizing and emissionscalculations just to mention a few capabilities.
Another software tool developed by the company MTU Aero Engines called ’MOdular Perfor-mance and Engine Design System’ (MOPEDS) [6] is a high quality program that precisely guidesthe designer through the essential steps of a conceptual engine design. With that in mind, thederivation of an engine’s general arrangement starts with a thermodynamic cycle, from which mostengine requirements are set by the customer and may beyond that step continue to other designvariables of the engine to complete the preliminary design process of an engine.

2.4 State of the Art (SOTA) in engine design
There are research studies in the designing of jet engines in many different areas. Designing anengine does not only cover the thermodynamical aspects but also aspects such as aerodynamics,mechanical design and financial aspects. For engines with entry into service around year 2025-2030,many articles have been published with assumptions of different parameters through estimatedcalculations.
Two students at the same university have carried out a similar project in the previous year.They, however, were to create a conceptual design of a supersonic turbofan. Their literature studieswere very helpful when choosing and optimizing parameters, which would result in a MATLABscript and a NPSS code. With help from these scripts and codes, a conceptual engine plot wasmade together with a summarization of all the basic engine data as well as velocity triangles forcertain components of the engine.
Before this project was started, there was a MATLAB script and a NPSS code which wasmodified to fit this project’s outcome.
2.5 Specific thrust
Another part of the literature studies was to study the specific thrust. The project has an outcometo reduce fuel consumption and this can partially be done by changing the fan pressure as wellas the fan sizing. Studies that have been made (both numerically and analytically) shows thatfan pressure ratio is highly dependent on specific thrust, SFN. It also worth to mention that thedetermination of an optimum FPRop is very important as this value together with TIT, BPR andOPR will ensure minimum SFC. [7] When designing a jet engine for civil aircraft, only one fanstage is generally used with large bypass ratios, and the maximum FPR is around 1.8.

3 Methodology
This chapter will cover all the methods used and being relevant for the results. When designingan engine, analyses must cover all of the aspects hence the emphasis was on the thermodynamicanalysis as well as the aerodynamic design.
3.1 The preliminary engine design process
The first step within the design process starts at the aircraft manufacturer (the customer). Thecustomer negotiates with the engine manufacturer (the supplier) to produce an engine specifica-tion. The requirements can include parameters such as: Thrust, SFC, mass, size, cost etc.
After this step has been completed, the process continues with the creation of the thermody-namic cycle. In this step, different parameters are set up. For example, what pressure ratio theengine will have, the bypass ratio, the temperatures in the cycles etc.
The process continues with the geometry creation. Basic designs of the different componentsin the engine (such as blades, discs) are brought up with aerodynamic, mechanical and engineinstalled performance (engine weight and nacelle drag) aspects in mind. This is done to be able tostart the calculations. After the calculations have begun, a program usually performs iterations.An example of the process can be taken from Rolls Royce, who has a software called Genesis, whichcalculates different parameters. After the parameters are set, the specification from the customerwill be met.
The last step of the process is to make a cost analysis. The engine needs to be designed to notcost too much but still meet the requirements.
During the entire process, the different phases will need feedback from each other in order tomake sure that the requirements are met perfectly. [8]

3.2 Different types of analyses
To achieve the objective of this project, the conceptual design of the engine consists of severalanalytic steps that must be examined before the engine is finished. The focus lied on calculationsof numerous key parameters in the engine.These parameters were analyzed in a thermodynamic, aerodynamic. The way of performing theseanalyses were mainly in the programs MATLAB and NPSS.MATLAB is an advanced computer language used by engineers worldwide and it is suitable forthis project mainly due to the simplicity of doing graphical plotting with many parameters. [9]Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) is a program developed by NASA to make thebest simulations of complex systems. The program has the ability to interact with multiple anddiverse parameters dependent of each other and therefore varying other inputs as well when theuser input is changed. [10]Both programs are designed for engineering purposes of complex systems and they are very suitablesince they have a very good user flexibility due to open architecture.
3.3 Entry Into Service
The Entry Into Service (EIS) term was very helpful when estimating various parameters andvalues. For example when the component efficiencies were estimated, an EIS correlation, ηpoly,EIS,was used to predict the changes between EIS year and present time. [11] Parameters such as BPR,FPR and TIT have a similar method for comparing changes from year to year. This term is notonly good for knowing if the development is going in the right way, but also for doing calculationsfor the engines to be designed in the future.
3.4 Thermodynamic analysis
The thermodynamic analysis was carried as a second step in the preliminary design process. Theanalysis included doing on-design and off-design performance calculations as well as using theliterature studies to select and set up initial parameters.
3.4.1 Software description
The software used to optimize a thermodynamic cycle was NPSS which was presented in section3.2. A code has been created in the program to fetch data such as pressure, temperatures andefficiencies. The code has been written in C++ and has a very flexible way of working; for exampleit allows the user to set a parameter as a dependent on another parameter, which in this reportwill be mentioned as the ’NPSS solver’.
3.4.2 On-design and off-design performance
The thermodynamic cycle analysis was performed to ensure that the requirements of the engine(at different operating points) were met. [11] To be able to predict various parameters such asmax fan flow and fan diameter a reference point has been set at Top of Climb, M0.82 at 35 000ft. with a net thrust of 69 400 N. To proceed with the calculations of the performance, certainparameters are required from the baseline model. The TIT, OPR, FPR and BPR was used asprimary parameters for optimizing the cycle of the engine.
The off-design performances was run as soon as the parameters mentioned above were set. Theoff-design performances were run to ensure that the engine works correctly throughout a normalflight cycle. The off-design were performed at the following points:
• End of Runway, Take-Off M0.25
• Cruise, M0.85 at 12190 m (40 000 ft.)

3.4.3 Engine efficiencies
There are different kinds of efficiencies which are important to understand when it comes to definingthe performance of an engine. These are:
• Thermal efficiency - the ratio between net work output divided by the heat supplied. Theoverall efficiency of an ideal simple cycle improves with rising pressure ratio [12]
• Propulsive efficiency - the ratio between useful propulsive power divided by the power at thenozzle. It is shown that if the flight velocity is equal to zero, none propulsive work will beproduced and therefore propulsive efficiency will also be equal to zero [12]
• Core efficiency - this is the usable energy after the core stream power input divided by theenergy of the fuel
• Transfer efficiency - the ratio between thermal efficiency and core efficiency
• Overall efficiency - the sum of propulsive efficiency, transfer efficiency and core efficiencymultiplied with each other
The formulas can be found in Appendix A.
3.4.4 Fan area
An initial assumption of the hub-to-tip ratio has been set to 0.3. With a known hub-to-tip ratio,a fan area was calculated and the NPSS solver varied the mass fan flow through a determined fanarea.
3.4.5 Velocity Ratio
From the literature studies, the optimum velocity ratioV bypass
V core, also referred as V18/V8, of the
engine was set to 0.8. Through this fixed parameter, the NPSS solver selected the best possibleBPR. [7]
3.4.6 Pressure Ratio
During the literature studies, a lot of different three-shafted engines have been studied to be ableto determine the baseline models parameters. To be able to do an optimization of the differentpressure ratios in the engine, an assumption has been made. Table 1 below summarizes the BPR,OPR, number of fan blades and the fan diameter for the engines that has been studied.

Table 1: Review of EIS change in BPR, OPR, fan.
As seen in the table, the newer the engines become, the greater value BPR and OPR is beingpushed to. Another observation is that BPR and OPR are directly proportional to each other.The fan blades are generally decreased (exception: Trent XWB) as the fan diameter is increased.
The baseline engine that will be used for this project is an EIS 2010 baseline engine hence anassumption of the OPR has been set to 45:1 at ToC.
3.4.6.1 Overall Pressure Ratio Based on the literature studies, with aspects of time periodchange and engine type, an OPR has been selected for the engine. It may be varied a bit becauseof temperature and material limitations.
15
Malardalen University 3 Methodology
3.4.6.2 Fan Pressure Ratio Once the BPR and the OPR were set, the FPR was calculatedby letting the NPSS solver select an optimum FPR for a fixed OPR.
3.4.7 Temperature optimization
From the literature review it is known that the limitation within the temperature starts at T3, alsoknown as the HPC temperature. A predicted temperature of 940 K and 980 K for an EIS 2010respectively EIS 2025 engine was set as reference for the T3 temperature at EoR T-O. [18] Shouldthe temperature be lower than this, another optimization of OPR must be done since reducedOPR results in a reduced T3 temperature.
A turbine inlet temperature (TIT) was also optimized. The choice of this parameter was variedby the limitation of the material as well as the NGV and rotor cooling. The NGV cooling hasinitially been selected to 10% and the cooling for the rotor to 8% for the high pressure stages. [18]
3.5 Aerodynamic design
3.5.1 Software description
The software used to design the engine aerodynamically was MATLAB. It has been chosen becauseof its ability to implement and work with external sources (such as NPSS) and because of the abilityto plot an actual engine together with its components.
3.5.2 Turbomachinery Efficiencies
There are two frequent terms of efficiencies that are related to the ideal compression and expansionprocess of a jet engine, which will be explained in this section.
Isentropic efficiency - The isentropic efficiency is normally expressed in terms of a ratio betweenthe actual and ideal work transfer, i.e. for compressors this is the ratio of the change in enthalpy inan ideal process over the actual one. Similarly for turbines it is defined as the ratio of the changein enthalpy in the actual process over the ideal one. [19]
Polytropic efficiency - The polytropic efficiency is defined as ’the isentropic efficiency of an in-finitely small stage in the compression or expansion process, such that it can be assumed constantthroughout the entire process’. [12] Even though the isentropic efficiency is valuable it can alsobe misleading when compressors and turbines operates at different inlet situations and at differentpressure ratios. For example if it is assumed that each stage in the compressor or turbine is op-erated at the same isentropic efficiency, the result will be that the stage efficiency is higher thanthe component efficiency itself. [12] Since this is not a optimum result, the polytropic efficiencywill be used for efficiency calculations. The method used for calculating and estimating polytropicefficiencies for different components throughout the thesis can be found in [11].
The polytropic efficiency formula is as following:
ηpoly = η∗poly + ∆ηpoly, EIS + ∆ηpoly, M + ∆ηpoly, Re
Where the nominal polytropic efficiency, η∗poly, needs correction through three terms which are:
• Entry Into Service, ∆ηpoly, EIS
• Component size, ∆ηpoly, M
• Reynolds Number, ∆ηpoly, Re

3.5.3 Velocity triangles
When designing the blades, the power input could not be obtained from basic thermodynamics,thus velocity triangles are used. Velocity triangles were created to describe the power outputs andthe gas flow through all compressor and turbine stages. With the outputs given from the velocitytriangles it was possible to calculate reaction rates, diffusion rates and stage loadings for all stages.These values were later correlated with guideline values for these parameters found in [20]. Thevelocity triangles data in the chapter ’Results’ will show the data for each compressor and turbinecomponent in the engine of the mean blade while the full output of the velocity triangles can befound in Appendix C. The velocity triangles for a typical compressor stage can be seen in figure 3.
The air advances the rotor with a velocity called C1 at an angle α1 in the axial direction. C1
together with the blade speed U produces a velocity which is related to the blade, V1 with an angleβ1. After the passage through the rotor, the fluid leaves the rotor in a relative velocity V2 in angleβ2 which is set by the rotor blade out angle. If one assumes that the axial velocity Ca is constantthroughout the flow, the relative velocity V2 can be acquired and the outlet velocity triangle α2 willthen be designed by combining the V2 together with U to give C2 at α2. The difference betweenthe in and out speed of the stage is called ∆Cw. When leaving the rotor at angle α2, the air passesthrough the stator where it is separated in to C3 and a given angle α3. The regular design is thatC3 ≈ C1 and α3 ≈ α1 so that the same procedure can be repeated in the next similar stage.

4.3.1 Parametric studies
In this section, the parametric studies that was carried out on the AN15 will be presented. Twoparametric studies were performed and through these parametric studies, the other parametershas been solved by using the NPSS solver, which was described in the chapter ’Methodology’.
4.3.1.1 V18/V8 optimization In order to optimize the V18/V8, a parametric study has beenperformed. The parametric study involved studying the change of SFC over the ideal jet velocityratio, V18/V8, at ToC. The result is presented in figure 7 and the measuring points can be seen intable 4. It shows that in order to achieve the lowest SFC for cruise, the optimum V18/V8 at ToCis 0.75 which will result in a V18/V8 value at cruise of 0.77. Note that this is not the actual SFCof AN15, it only shows the optimum V18/V8 for the engine.

4.3.1.2 SFCcr optimization The next parametric study involved studying the change of SFCat cruise over T41 (also known as TIT) at EoR T-O together with T44 (also known as the LPTinlet temperature) at EOR T-O. The T44 is the limiting temperature factor as the material in thissection cannot handle too high temperatures. Since a desired T44 has been set, based on materialselection, the study will analyze whether a increasing T41 and T44 is increasing or decreasing SFC.The material that has been chosen for the LPT is Inconel 718, which can handle temperatures upto 1200 K. During the study, the rotor and NGV metal temperatures for respectively stages werekept constant.
The result and the measuring points can be seen in figure 8 respectively table 5. It is proventhat the higher T44 become, the lower SFC is achieved. The lowest SFC will therefore be achievedat the highest possible temperature for the T44 at EoR T-O.
As a result of this, a T41 for EoR T-O temperature at 1883 K has been selected.

4.3.2 Inlet
An inlet with smooth nacelle curvature was chosen to start at 0.125 m below the fan tip radiuslevel. This, together with a total inlet length of 1.6 m, made it possible to achieve an inlet pressurerecovery of 0.983. The design of the inlet nosecone was most favorable with a hade angle of 20degrees. The design can be seen in figure 9 together with key data in table 6.

4.3.3 Compressors
The spacing between the rotor and stator blades in all compressor components was chosen to 30%of the axial chord. [19] To be able to see that allowable diffusion rates are used in the compressors,the de Haller number was used. The de Haller number has a lower limit of 0.69 according to [20]of which all compressor stages in AN15 exceeds.
4.3.3.1 Fan With an axial Mach number in and out of the fan of 0.603 respectively 0.380 anda FPR of 1.43, the AR of the fan blade was selected to 2.4 in order to receive satisfactory perfor-mance. Assumptions from [19] regarding the hub-to-tip ratios created a slightly higher tip out onAN15 compared to the baseline engine which is also why the baseline engine’s fan tip looks ratherstraight compared to the divergent tip on AN15. The fan is also equipped with an OGV whichminimizes the swirl entering the IPC as well as functioning as the main structural component ofthe engine.
To achieve the required design point performance, a fan diameter of 3.54 m was the mostsatisfactory option. From this point an initial assumption of the LP-shaft speed was made andtogether with the correlated value of 1.45 for the relative tip Mach number found in [19] it waspossible to set the LP-shaft speed to 2315 rpm.
Mean blade velocity triangles (VT) data can be found in table 7 together with a view of thevelocity triangle in figure 10. The red triangle shows the in power and the black triangle shows theout power. The fan hub blade had a high deflection which was a result of low blade speed togetherwith a high enthalpy increase which causes inlet swirl at the hub. This is known as a big challengein real fan designs but given the time constraints for this project, it was decided that only meanblade VT would be presented. A view of the fan can be seen together with the inlet in figure 9 (onthe previous page) together with the key data in table 8.

4.3.3.2 IPC It was decided that the rotational speed of the IP shaft would be such that avalue of Mtip,rel 1.3 would be reached, which resulted in a rotational speed of 6000 rpm. TheIPC was chosen to have eight stages to keep the average stage loading at a lower level thus givinghigher blade speeds. The most favorable aspect ratios together with hub to tip ratios in and outfrom the IPC were based on recommendations from [19] which essentially created a design of adropping hub line for the IPC. The dropping hub line together with a gradually decreasing bladeheight made it possible to increase the diffusion factor towards 0.4 at the end of the IPC whilelowering the reaction rate to near 0.5. The most efficient blade reaction occurs at a value of 0.5.The IPC VT data at the mean blade can be found in table 9 together with the triangles in figure11. Key data and a IPC view is found in table 10 and figure 12.

4.3.3.3 HPC The high pressure compressor was placed at a lower height than the IPC. TheHPC was designed as a six stage compressor to have a constant tip radius with a gradually de-creasing area towards the end of the component, which reduced the stage loading and gave higherblade speeds. Since the HPT is the limiting factor of the HP-shaft speed because of tendency forhigh blade root stresses together with big expansion of the turbine disk, the rotational speed ofthe HP-shaft was set to 12000 rpm which resulted in a Mtip,rel of 1.15 in the HPC.

4.3.4 Combustion chamber
Due to limited space available in the combustion area, an annular combustor has been chosen forthe AN15. Of the three different combustor types (can, can-annular and annular), the annularcombustor is the most efficient combustor. This kind of combustion chamber also require theleast cooling air to prevent the turbine from being damaged as a result of the high temperaturesthat flows out of the combustion chamber. [21] The flow velocity was assumed to have the lowestrecommended Mach number value of 0.04 to permit a permissible residence time in the combustionchamber. A beta angle of 12.8 degrees was necessary to make the HPT start at a higher level thusincreasing the stage loading for that component. Key data are presented in table 13 and a sectionview can be seen in figure 15.

4.3.5 Turbines
The blade spacing in the turbines was set to 20% in HPT and IPT while LPT had a blade spacingof 40%. In order to get proper reaction rates and power output in the turbines, the swirl angle,α3, was set to 18◦ in HPT and 15◦ in IPT and LPT.
4.3.5.1 HPT With the HPT connected to the HPC through the HP-shaft rotating at the high-est speed in the core engine, an one stage HPT was chosen in order to keep the stage loadingsat a reasonable value. The blade root stress level parameter AN2 was the main factor for thedetermination of the stator inlet area. Mach number estimations for the HPT were made throughan iterative method to keep reaction rates of the component at acceptable values. The aspect ratioof the stator and rotor component was based on facts that can be expected for an EIS 2025 engine.Key data can be viewed in table 15 together with a view in figure 17. The velocity triangles andits data can be seen in table 14 and figure 16.

4.3.5.3 LPT While the LPT has a very low mechanical speed due to its connection with thefan, it was most favorable to choose a ten stage option for the LPT to achieve the best efficiencyand hence the best power outputs from it. High flow coefficient was the result of the low bladespeed versus the axial flow into the LPT. A steep upward slope gradually decreasing towards theend of the LPT was necessary to guarantee proper reaction rates for all LPT stages because of thelow speed in the LP shaft. If the LPT was put on a lower level, a less efficient LPT with increasedstage loadings would have been obtained. LPT VT data can be seen in table 18 and figure 20while key data for the LPT can be seen in table 19 together with a view in figure 21.

The LPT ends with an OGV thus minimizing the swirl of the airflow entering the nozzle. Aconvergent nozzle was chosen in order to achieve a gradual acceleration of the flow towards thenozzle throat where it is expected that the flow will choke at M1. The nozzle, which can be seenin figure 22, has a length of 0.60 m, a cone angle from the centerline of 24◦ and the key data canbe found in table 20.

4.3.7 Internal ducts
The internal ducts of the AN15 can be seen in figure 23. There are five different ducts in thisengine and they are distinguished by the light-blue lines that covers them. Table 21 shows thelength and pressure recovery of each duct. The data from the table shows that the biggest pressurelosses are in the bypass duct and the fan duct. The reason for this is because of the big dimensionsof these ducts.

4.4 Comparison to baseline engine
In table 22, a comparison between AN15 and the baseline engine can be seen. The comparisonshows that the overall efficiency on AN15 was increased by 12% while the fuel consumption wasreduced by 11%. The core length (which is from the beginning of the fan until the end of theLPT) on AN15 was the same as on the baseline engine while the total engine length on AN15 was2.2% longer due to bigger components such as the fan and the bypass duct. To achieve satisfyingperformance on AN15, the fan diameter had to be increased by 21%. As mentioned previously, anincrease in OPR, BPR and TIT would result in a lower SFC but it would also result in a reducedSFN. In this case, the SFN was reduced by 31%, which also improved the propulsive-transferefficiency difference, i.e. the change between these two efficiencies were increased.

4.5 Sensitivity analysis
Sensitivity analyses in NPSS were performed. A sensitivity analysis is useful when one must deter-mine the cost of development regarding for example component efficiencies. Important questionsthat could be considered in these contexts could be if it is beneficial to have a component with ahigher efficiency or not in order to reduce the fuel consumption? Or if it is beneficial to constructa duct with minimal pressure losses?
The first analysis was performed by varying the component efficiencies at the expense of SFC.The result, which can be observed in table 23, shows that higher efficiency results in lower SFC. Itis also proven that the efficiency of the fan has the greatest impact on fuel consumption and thisis because of the big mass flow that flows through it.
∆Efficiency ∆SFC (%)ηpoly,fan + 1 % -0.7ηpoly,IPC + 1 % -0.4ηpoly,HPC + 1 % -0.4ηpoly,HPT + 1 % -0.3ηpoly,IPT + 1 % -0.2ηpoly,LPT + 1 % -0.5
Table 23: Sensitivity analysis on component efficiencies.
The second analysis was performed on the ducts in the engine, where pressure losses were variedon the expense of the fuel consumption. Table 24 shows that added pressure losses increases fuelconsumption and that the bypass duct has the biggest impact on SFC with 1.9%. This is logicalas the bypass duct controls the flow of air flowing into bypass duct which in its turn controls theBPR which has a rather big impact on SFC.

4.6 Off-design
Off-design mechanical speeds and ηpoly of the components can be seen in table 25 and 26. At EoRtake-off, the net thrust was set to 311.3 kN and at cruise it was set to 52.9 kN. Table 26 shows thatthe highest mechanical speed is obtained at EoR T-O. This is primarily due to that this phase ofthe flight cycle extracts the most power from the engine but also because the highest temperaturesoccurs at this phase of the cycle. The engine is designed to operate mostly at cruise and this isalso why the average efficiencies of the components are highest at this phase. The full output forthe two off-design performances can be found in Appendix B.

Malardalen University 5 Conclusions
5 Conclusions
The main purpose of this project was to reduce fuel burn, which was accomplished by optimizingthe engine’s parameters through a thermodynamic and aerodynamical analysis. The result was a11% reduced fuel burn which would make the engine more efficient in financial aspects. The fandiameter was also increased by 21% in order for the engine to have a satisfactory performance.
Conclusions that was drawn from this project were:
• Future turbofan engines will most likely be designed in such a manner that they will havereduced fuel consumption
• Future turbofan engines will require the latest technology in aspects of materials in the hotsections to achieve best possible performance
• Year 2025 engines offers an improved propulsive efficiency at the expense of a bigger fandiameter
The future for jet engine looks very promising. Engines are to be more efficient, generate morepower but at the same time burn less fuel. Modern design tools such as MATLAB combined withold tools like NPSS makes it possible to ease the designer’s work. The simulations in these soft-wares taught the students where the constraints of the engines were, e.g. positive change in oneprimary parameter (such as OPR, BPR, TIT) could affect several parameters (such as SFC, T44)in a negative way, which is why the right balance between all parameters must be found.
All in all, with supervising from a good supervisor, it was certainly a very interesting projectto perform and great knowledge was achieved at the same time.
5.1 Future work
Due to time limitations, some parts of the design process have not been possible to fulfill and mustbe considered in order to get a full preliminary design. These parts include:
• Mechanical design
• Evaluating the nacelle drag
• Perform additional thermodynamic analysis at the off-design points
• Weight calculations
5.1.1 Recommendations for future work
To carry on with this preliminary design a few steps are recommended to perform. Looking intomechanical design of the engine is useful to determine valuable disk information such as materialselections, weight and stress calculations. Analyzing and evaluation of the nacelle drag on theengine would also be preferable to perform.
