Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of aero-engine testing technology, and specifically relates to an online monitoring method and system for simulating the temperature field of turbofan engine inlet temperature. Background Technology
[0002] Ground-based inlet temperature simulation for turbofan engines is a crucial part of sustained pre-flight testing and is one of the engine type approval tests stipulated in relevant standards. It is an important test for assessing the engine's reliability and operational capabilities. Inlet heating testing plays a vital role at every stage of development. The inlet heating simulation device in engine testing is a crucial link between ground testing and flight testing, performance compliance and structural reliability, and overall engine durability assessment and component life analysis. One of the common problems encountered during turbofan engine operation is the aerodynamic instability of the compression system. Due to the complex structure of the inlet heating simulation device and its essential air intake channel, the non-uniformity of the engine inlet temperature field becomes a key test parameter, directly affecting the engine's operational safety, in addition to the parameters monitored on the ambient temperature test bench.
[0003] While mature temperature field evaluation criteria exist in China, they primarily rely on post-experiment analysis and evaluation of the temperature field based on obtained experimental data. This evaluation process mainly employs a semi-automatic approach, utilizing data processing software like Excel for simplified linear interpolation analysis after data acquisition. Furthermore, this method only provides data on the circumferential non-uniformity and circumferential distortion index of the temperature field, failing to obtain the angular positions θ, number, and circumferential range θ of the high-temperature and low-temperature zones at the engine inlet in this experiment. + Important information such as temperature field distortion cannot be accurately determined online due to the lack of conditions for online monitoring. During actual test runs, abnormal factors such as equipment malfunctions can cause sudden changes in air supply conditions and temperature field distortion. Furthermore, the inability to promptly and accurately pinpoint the angular location of the temperature field anomaly and take appropriate action can seriously jeopardize engine safety.
