INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF LOCOMOTIVE GAS TURBINE ENGINES

ISSLEDOVANIE EKONOMICHNOSTI LOKOMOTIVNOGO GTD

The possibility of designing a locomotive gas turbine engine with a two-shaft arrangement and with intermediate combustion is demonstrated. At the same time, the efficiency of this locomotive would be 32% at maximum capacity. The maximum efficiency would be 34% at 80% capacity and would not drop below 30% within the range of capacity variation from 100 to 35%.
