Computer Simulation of Auxiliary Power Systems.

Abstract

A digital computer program for the analysis of Auxiliary Power Units (APU's) has been developed. It analyzes the thermodynamics of each component, compressor, combustor, and turbine with regards to basic performance parameters and bleed leakage flows. On the first pass, the code solves the available horsepower from the APU on the basis of input component pressure ratio and efficiencies. On the second pass, the component performance is solved to satisfy the desired design shaft horsepower of the APU. This code is called APUCODE.
