TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of engine test, and particularly relates to a high-pressure turbine efficiency evaluation method and device based on low-pressure shaft power balance. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the whole machine test of an aero-engine, in order to evaluate the performance of each component, the components are tested and modified, but since the high-pressure turbine components work in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, the existing measurement technology is difficult to measure the high-pressure turbine inlet parameters.
[0003] At present, for the evaluation of the high-pressure turbine efficiency under the whole machine state of the aero-engine, the high-pressure turbine component test characteristics or numerical simulation characteristics are generally used, combined with the test modification of the fan, the compressor and the like, to perform numerical simulation calculation and evaluation, but the high-pressure turbine component test is difficult to simulate the test inlet conditions under the whole machine state, which may cause deviation between the component test characteristics and the high-pressure turbine characteristics under the whole machine state, and the high-pressure turbine efficiency under the whole machine condition cannot be accurately evaluated. In addition, the method of testing and modifying the inlet and outlet of the high-pressure turbine is also used to obtain the high-pressure turbine efficiency.
