Abstract
Abstract This study focuses on for a PW4000 high-bypass turbofan engine using energy, exergo-sustainable and performance viewpoint. For this aim, irreversibility and performance analyses are firstly performed for five main engine components at ≈260 kN maximum take-off thrust force. Besides, overall efficiency of the turbofan is determined to be 33 %, while propulsive and thermal efficiency of the turbofan are 72 % and 46 % respectively at 0.8 M and 288.15 K flight conditions. Secondly, calculation component-based exergetic assessment is carried out using exergetic indicators. According to the calculation, the exergetic efficiency of the engine is 32 %, while its waste exergy ratio is 0.678. Furthermore, exergetic sustainability measure is obtained as 0.473, while enviromental effect factor is 2.112. These indicators are also anticipated to help comprehend the connection between engine performance parameters and worldwide dimensions such as environmental effect and sustainable growth.
