Turbine Engine Flowpath Averaging Techniques

Abstract

Methods of determining the one-dimensional or mean value of a measured flow property for gas turbine engines were investigated. The investigation consisted of a literature review and review of turbine engine current flowpath averaging practices. The two basic methods for determining the mean value of a measured flow property for turbine engines are area and mass weighting. The two methods are compared and recommendations for additional flowpath averaging investigations are offered.
