Abstract
The detailed aerodynamic design and test verification of a 6000-hp (4474-kW) turbine with a supersonic first stage for an airborne application is described. The 12.3-in. (312.4-mm) pitch diameter turbine is driven by products of hydrazine decomposition at 700 psia (4.826 MPa) and 2110 R (1172 K) with an overall pressure ratio of 41.2. The design of the supersonic nozzles and rotor incorporated improved concepts compared to previously reported designs. Test results show that the predicted performance was verified. The supersonic design concepts described are applicable to other high-pressure ratio designs where maximum efficiency is required.
