Abstract

Innovative approaches for significantly reducing the aviation Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission need to be evaluated based on simple calculation methodology, viz. Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) that can be easily and reliably executed by an academic research group with guidance provided by a panel of experts from industry, FAA, NASA, DOE and DOD. In the present paper, an extensive validation of NPSS using N+1 turbomachinery maps provided by NASA is provided for several popular engines (CFM56, CF6-80C2, and GE90), comparing publicly available data on overall pressure ratio, bypass ratio, rated thrust, and thrust specific fuel consumption at the aerodynamic design point (ADP). Off-design conditions as defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) specified sea-level static standard day takeoff, climb, and approach were also investigated. Moreover, the NPSS calculations were calibrated with industrial engine data including LM6000 and LMS100 with and without inter-cooling and cogeneration.
