Just wanted to be the first to post a message in 2003 :> Did any one fire up their GT tonight at 12? I would if mine was finished. Happy New year every one. ...
So we have the same fate Bret! I also wanted to fire up my turbine. But my oil pump is broken. I tried to get some before New Year, but it was impossible. No...
Cheers John, very interesting. Might just try that. On the subject of predicting thrust, I am using an AET 55475 unit with a 50mm inducer, and an impeller dia....
My model is also for my final year engineering project. I read Gas Turbine Theory but it is too "theretical". I'm looking for something that i think i have...
Hi Adrian Your compressor has very interesting dimensions,with the inducer only a bit over 50% of the OD , most turbos are in the 66-75% range which starts to...
Hi John, Ok, well the turbo was found in a local truck scrap yard, there were plenty thee but this one was by far the biggest, and the chap was very interested...
What we have done in University is to use MATLAB and SIMULINK for most mathematical problems over the past few years, so most of us are quite familiar with the...
Adrian and Mirko, I'm interested to hear that someone else is working on a Simulink turbojet model. I also used Simulink in college and I use it frequently in...
Right around 11pm, the thought did cross my mind. But pissing off the neighbors might have had an impact on my afternoon jet testing, so I hit the sack...
I don't think it would have mattered here, I swear I heard automatic weapons fire at midnight. I thought it was a string of firecrackers at first but I never...
Hi Bret Sorry to have to tell you this , you missed out :-(( Funny thing time zones , when exactly does 2003 start and more importantly where , maybe our New...
Hi Adrian A few thoughts below ... Your measurement of 50mm for the inducer in a turbo for a 15 litre engine seems a bit small , I would have expected at least...
All, Please define/explain the following: P2 T. I. T. compressor effieciency What effect does a inducer/impeller size ratio have on overall performance. Why...
hii..., wish u all a happy newyear.... i have completed the combustion chamber int he mean time and i will be uploading the pic of it at the earliest...!i had...
Fred, Properties such as pressure (P) and temperature (T) are defined or analyzed at various "stations" in the gas turbine. The most common standards I've...
Hi Fred I'll have an attempt, this is just a laymans interpretation To another layman, no books involved :-)) P2 = P means pressure , 2 is the station, in our...

Every one that has a web page with a link to my page Could they Please change the link to www.BCK-Turbines.cjb.net Thanks. I think that looks better than...
Hm..... this is what i get "Sorry, this site is temporarily unavailable! The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer. Visit...
Are you developing a dynamic model or a steady-state model? In "Gas turbine theory" there are only steady-state equation, i remember. I was wondering if you...
At 04:12 PM 01/03/2003 +0000, turbo_engine25 <bretjetengine_18@...> ... I think it means that too many people have viewed more bytes of your data than...
Mirko, Isn't the whole purpose of a gas turbine engine to operate in steady- state? (Or at least quasi-steady state?) Unlike an automotive engine that is...
Hi Mirko, My model is steady state. I did not consider a dynamic model because I am trying to predict the results for operation at maximum thrust i.e. N1 =...
I deleted 2MB of crap off my web site today... An hour later it worked. can people please sign my guest book? my web siet is www.BCK- turbines.cjb.net if that...
Um... I added a counter to my web site and then view it 5 min later and it came up as 1362 and then i hit refres and it cam up as 1363.... Is that possible? My...
