  1. Basics of A Turboprop Engine P M V Subbarao Professor Mechanical Engineering Department Enjoy the flying but pay for road travel ……

  2. Economy Flying AN 12 : CRUISE SPEED : 520 km/h PAYLOAD : 18000 KG Range: 2400 km Maximum altitude: 7600 m

  3. Requirements of Economic Flying • In recent years, interest in highly efficient flight transportation is renewed. • This has spurred investigation into very high bypass ratio fans. • Some economic optimization of turbofan cycle shows a bypass ratio of 100. • The weight of cowl and drag due to the cowl will have high penalty on total cost if bypass ratio is greater than 25. • This led to thinking of high bypass ratio open turbofan engines. • Turboprops.

  10. Propeller (Reaction) Power Propeller work coefficient: • The work coefficient of a propeller depends on compressor pressure ratio and turbine pressure ratio. • The compressor pressure ratio and turbine pressure ratio are two independent design variables for a turboprop.
