COLD-AIR PERFORMANCE OF FREE-POWER TURBINE DESIGNED FOR 112-KILOWATT AUTOMOTIVE GAS-TURBINE ENGINE. 1: DESIGN STATOR-VANE-CHORD SETTING ANGLE OF 35 DEG

A cold air experimental investigation of a free power turbine designed for a 112-kW automotive gas-turbine was made over a range of speeds from 0 to 130 percent of design equivalent speeds and over a range of pressure ratio from 1.11 to 2.45. Results are presented in terms of equivalent power, torque, mass flow, and efficiency for the design power point setting of the variable stator.
