Study of compressor systems for a gas-generator engine
Report presenting various methods of providing compressor-capacity and pressure-ratio control in the gas-generator type of compound engine over a range of altitudes. The analytical results indicated that the best method of control is that in which the first stage of compression is carried out in a variable-speed supercharger driven by a hydraulic slip coupling. Results regarding the constant-pressure-ratio compressor, constant-volume compressor, comparison of piston-type and rotary compressors, effect of variable-area turbine nozzle, and effect of designing for high altitudes are provided.
