Abstract

A fixed core engine model is developed in NPSS to study the performance of N+3 technology level turbofan engine. NPSS model is validated against the results obtained from fundamental propulsion equations coded in MATLAB for a conventional Jet-A fuel. The results from NPSS and MATLAB codes for variation in Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption (TSFC) with Bypass Ratio (BPR) are compared; good agreement is obtained. The validated NPSS is then used to study the performance of N+3 engine using liquid hydrogen, ammonia, and LNG as fuels. A comparison of the alternative fuels’ performance concerning the variation of TSFC with BPR is presented.
