Abstract

The performance characteristics of a TBCC engine considering the transition mode from a turbojet to a ramjet engine has been investigated. The performance of each engine was proposed and a transition mode of the TBCC engine has been evaluated by adjusting the operating rate of the ramjet engine and turbojet engine performance changes continuously. Based on the transition model, it was confirmed that the performance is continuously changed at various flight Mach numbers and altitudes. The performance characteristics including thrust and specific impulse considering various flight conditions and transition mode were analyzed, which testifies characteristics of the engine itself, as well as transition of the combined cycle.

터보제트 엔진에서 램제트 엔진으로의 작동 천이를 고려한 TBCC엔진의 성능 특성을 연구하였다. 터보제트 엔진과 램제트 엔진의 성능모델을 제시하고 터보제트와 램제트의 작동 비율을 조절하여 성능 변화가 연속적으로 발생하도록 엔진 작동의 천이 모드를 고려하였다. 이를 통해 다양한 마하수와 고도에서의 완만한 엔진 성능 변화를 나타냈음을 확인하였다. 일정고도(11km)와 가상의 비행 궤적에 대하여 천이 모드를 적용하여 TBCC 엔진의 추력과 비추력의 변화를 분석하였으며, 이를 통해 예상 비행 조건과 엔진의 천이 모드를 고려한 성능 변화와 복합 사이클 엔진 작동 천이 모드의 필요성을 제안하였다.
