INTRODUCTION
This analysis is based on results from the french MERMOSE and
IMPACT projects, both aiming at better assessing impact of aircraft
emissions on climate.
The focus here is the estimation of cruise NOx and Particles
Emission Indices used in inventories
The analysis which is presented considers existing experimental
results and modeling from literature, classical assumptions used in
inventories, and experimental results from MERMOSE on the
SaM146 engine.

CRUISE NOX / CLASSICAL MODEL USED IN INVENTORIES
P3-T3 correlation permits to provide a satisfactory accuracy to
estimate cruise NOx emissions using LTO measurements
EINOxCruise = EINOxground(T3cruise)* (P3cruise /P3ground)α
However, the Fuel Flow Methods (FFM) are mostly used in
inventories because it requires only the knowledge of the fuel flow
which is not engine manufacturer sensitive and may be estimated
with performance models
Boeing 2 FFM & DLR FFM:
Both proposed in 1994
Use only ICAO data base EINOx certified values (together with Wf values)
Checked in NEPAIR against ATF measurements on RB211 large engine and
PW305 small engine performed in AERONOX (1992-1994)
Checked in NEPAIR against P3-T3 estimations on Trent, CFM56
NEPAIR conclusion: both FFMs are able to estimate reasonably well
conventional combustors emissions with an accuracy ~ ±10%

Estimation of NOx at cruise on the annular combustor 1D and 0D correlations are validated at cruise
Use of the Boeing 2 Fuel Flow Method (Based on the LTO emissions)
Use of the P3 / T3 Method
Estimation of EINOx thanks to the ground tests : EINOxground(T3 = T3cruise)
Correction of the pressure effect with the NEPAIR recommended value :
‒ EINOxCruise = EINOxground(T3cruise)* (P3cruise /P3ground)0.4

Ps: for instance an adapted B2FFM was proposed in CS-TE (Airbus & Snecma) to apply to CROR equiped with multi-

10 /
CRUISE NOX / RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INVENTORIES
The B2FFM was checked against a good number of representative
engines, and is a practical tool for inventories By comparison with Snecma own predictions, it is checked that the B2FFM provides
also satisfactory estimation on the SaM146 (with a cruise EINOx < 10 g/kg which
seems rather typical of smaller size & OPR engines)
The B2FFM uncertainty justifies a sensitivity analysis on the global
3D NOx aviation source (kg/s/m3) => Proposed study (a): varying the FFM derived source term by ±10%
In order to take into account the introduction of new low NOx
combustor technology, we suggest the following approach: ACARE 2050 -90% NOx & -75% CO2 objectives achievement means cruise EINOx is
reduced by 60% compared to conventional technology. Assuming such combustion
technology is mature and fully introduced in the fleet, we can evaluate its benefit on the
current fleet and on the future one =>
Proposed study (b): EINOx (from FFM) * 0,5 on the current (e.g 2010) fleet
Proposed study (c): EINOx (from FFM) * 0,5 on the projected fleet

CRUISE NVPM / EXISTING RESULTS
Various nvPM EIs (mass & number) exist already in the literature, but
It is sometimes uneasy to know the precise way they were obtained
It is unclear how the various approaches may affect the results:
Combustor (full annular/tubular) tests
Engine test in ATF
Plume measurements
Exploitation of Smoke Number
Measurement protocols
…

CRUISE NVPM / SAM146 ESTIMATED CRUISE EIS
MERMOSE results exploitation:
Joint analysis of results of MERMOSE campaigns on SaM146 engine and combustor permitted to extrapolate particles mass and number emissions
indices (EIm & EIn) in cruise. This was a first attempt, and there are still
strong uncertainties. More details are available in TAC4 presentation.

currently to be sufficiently reliable (calibration issues)

APPLICATION: SAM146 AT CRUISE SAM146 RESULTS
Cruise reconstitution of the Peck model is not accurate
F/F00 cruise at 65%, not realistic actually close to 20%
P3 reconstitution not realistic either, but partly compensated by F/F00 overshoot
Results
Using available data from certification runs
The use of spline interpolation is validated : the shape of the spline curve matches significantly better experimental data
It has an important effect on the numerical value (factor 3)
With the method, rating has a strong influence on EI(BC)
Cruise 1 : M=0.78, Alt = 35kft – 2.8mg/kg
Cruise 2 : M=0.82, Alt = 30kft – 13mg/kg
Strong influence of the cruise condition due to the slope of the
SN = f(F/F00) curve

APPLICATION: SAM146 AT CRUISE IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS & RESULT
Validation
The implementation shows some discrepancy
compared to the values provided by Stettler et al.
Some rounding approximations have not been
sorted out, even with the detailed results given in
the SI of the paper still considered validated
Ambiguous implementation of the MTF hypothesis
(and no validation reference)
The cruise reconstitution is accurate
Note that the Wf is used (not in Peck)

CRUISE NVPM / DIFFERENCES IN THE METHODS
FORUM-AE 9th Workshop on Inventories - Zurich 2 Sept 2015
Peck et al. Stettler et
al.
Needs ICAO db SN values
Does not need cruise Wf
A bias is introduced in the polynomial
interpolation of the SN
The cruise power hypothesis (65%) is very strong and does not match our data for
SaM146 and is doubtful in the general case
Subsequently, the combustor conditions may not be representative
Shows the influence of rating on EIm for different cruise conditions
Does not need ICAO db SN values
Needs cruise Wf
The cruise condition seems well approximated with only Wf
The correlation used to compute nvPM
mass concentration is physics based and calibrated on experimental data
The comparison with experimental data is
encouraging
- Very few experimental data which makes it
complicated to discriminate methodologies
- The two methodologies give significantly
different results for SaM146 case
20 /
CRUISE NVPM / RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INVENTORIES
Comparison of the 2 recent methods (Stettler et al, Peck et al) to
estimate nvPM cruise EIm with experiments should be pursued.
Some methodological aspects should be clarified.
Stettler approach is perhaps a little more satisfactory but
assessment of both methods should be completed.
Need of Wf as for NOx FFM
Both methods do not address cruise EIn
Feeling that knowledge is insufficient today to give a representative
nvPM cruise EI range (both in mass & number) to bound inventories
Further work is needed to consolidate cruise EIs for a representative
set of engines

CONCLUSIONS
Review of current NOx & particles correlations used for inventories was done
Results on SaM146 (obtained in the frame of MERMOSE) were more specifically exploited
Simple recommendations are suggested for future inventories of aircrafts NOx & non volatile Particle Matter
