Zusammenfassung: | This paper presents a study regarding the noise reduction of the turbojet engine, in particular the jet noise of a micro turbojet engine. The results of the measurement campaign are presented followed by a performances analysis which is based on the measured data by the test bench. Within the tests, beside the baseline nozzle other two nozzles with chevrons were tested and evaluated. First type of nozzle is foreseen with eight triangular chevrons, the length of the chevrons being L = 10 percentages from the equivalent diameter and an immersion angle of I = 0 deg. For the second nozzle the length and the immersion angle were maintained, only the chevrons number were increased at 16. The micro turbojet engine has been tested at four different regimes of speed. The engine performances were monitored by measuring the fuel flow, the temperature in front of the turbine, the intake air flow, the compression ratio, the propulsion force and the temperature before the compressor. In addition, during the testing, the vibrations were measured on axial and radial direction which indicate a normal functioning of the engine during the chevron nozzles testing. Regarding the noise, it was concluded that at low regimes the noise doesn't presents any reduction when using the chevron nozzles, while at high regimes an overall noise reduction of 2-3 dB(A) was achieved. Regarding the engine performances, a decrease in the temperature in front of the turbine, compression ratio and the intake air and fuel flow was achieved and also a drop of few percent of the propulsion force. |
