SUMMARY:Micro-Turbojet to Turbofan Conversion via Continuously Variable Tra
 nsmission: Thermodynamic Performance Study
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer:Kobi Kadosh\n Faculty:Department of Aerospace Engineer
 ing\n Institute:Technion – Israel Institute of Technology\n Location:Cla
 ssroom 165\, ground floor\, Library\, Aerospace Eng.\n Zoom: \n Abstract: 
 \n Details: \n In this study\, the viability\, performance\, and character
 istics of a turbojet-to-turbofan conversion through the use of a continuou
 sly variable transmission (CVT) are investigated. By an in-house thermodyn
 amic simulation code\, the performance of the simple cycle turbojet\, a di
 rect shaft joined turbofan\, and a CVT coupled turbofan with variable bypa
 ss are contrasted. The baseline turbojet and turbofan findings are validat
 ed against a commercial software. The comparison indicates high quantitati
 ve agreement.\nAnalyzing the results of the turbofan engine equipped with 
 a variable bypass and CVT\, it is observed that both the thrust and the ef
 ficiency are increased. The augmented thrust is observed to be an artifact
  of enhanced component matching and wider operational range introduced by 
 variable bypass capability. On the other hand\, the introduction of CVT co
 ntributes to the reduction in fuel consumption. Therefore\, the current re
 search suggests that adaptation of a micro-turbojet into a variable cycle 
 micro turbofan will greatly improve the performance and efficiency of exis
 ting engines\, in addition to providing a pathway towards extended use in 
 various applications.
