Approximate methods for determining the performance of gas turbine engines at off-design conditions.

W. B. Gist, L. R. Woodworth

ResearchPublished 1954

An attempt to determine equilibrial operating conditions in the gas turbine at flight conditions and power settings other than the design point--by deriving analytical relations among the pressures, temperatures, and gas flow quantities throughout a gas turbine engine. These equations, intended to facilitate computing part-load and off-design-point internal performance, may be applied to turbojets, turbofans, or turboprops in which the assumed design conditions exist.
