8.1.1 Nomenclature
‘The station numbering used for the performance analysis of the turbojet and
turbofan is shown in Fig. 8.1. Note that the turbine is divided into a high-pressure
turbine (station 4 to 4.5) and a low-pressure turbine (station 4.5 to 5). The high-
pressure turbine drives the high-pressure compressor (station 2.5 to 3), and the
low-pressure turbine drives the fan (station 2 to 13) and low-pressure compressor
(tation 2 t0 2.5).
‘The assembly containing the high-pressure turbine, high-pressure compressor,
and connecting shaft is called the high-pressure spool. That containing the low-
pressure turbine, fan or low-pressure compressor, and connecting shaft is called
the low-pressure spool. In addition to the 7 and 7 values defined in Table 5.1, the
‘component total temperature ratios and total pressure ratios listed in Table 8.2 are
required for analysis of the gas turbine engine with high- and low-pressure
spools.
8.1.2 Reference Values and Engine Performance
Analysis Assumptions
Functional relationships are used to predict the performance of a gas turbine
engine at different flight conditions and throttle settings. These relationships
are based on the application of mass, energy, momentum, and entropy consider:
ations to the one-dimensional steady flow of a perfect gas at an engine
