A Facility and Instrumentation for Studying Engine Control and Performance.

Abstract

The general objectives of the present study are threefold: (1) to implement an engine test facility incorporating a digital computer for data reduction and analysis, and for advanced control and performance studies, (2) to advance the state-of-the-art of instrumentation for measuring flow variables and other parameters in propulsion systems, and (3) to provide feasibility demonstrations of new parameter sensing techniques for control applications, of new control mechanizations, of advanced engine control loops, and of high response actuators. Initial studies of a single resonant tube fluidic temperature sensor have demonstrated its potential for turbine inlet temperature sensing. (Author)
