Abstract

In this paper, the performance parameters, sustainability indicators and thermo-ecological parameters are presented to the literature by modelling 140.56 kN propulsion turbofan engine of the A321-200 registered to the International Aero Engines manufacturer under type code 3IA008 and type name V2533-A5. In the study, firstly, exergy efficiency of each component is calculated by two different approaches, and then four different depletion ratios of each component are determined. In addition, the exergetic improvement potential ratios of components and systems are presented. Waste exergy ratio, recoverable exergy rate, exergy destruction factor, environmental effect factor and exergetic sustainability index has been selected as sustainability indicators. Finally, the ECOP (ecological coefficient of performance) function is calculated and comparatively evaluated in the specified flight phases as well as the flight phases are classified in terms of sustainability and environmental impacts. The element emphasizing the originality of this article is that the sustainability and environmental impacts in all flight phases are mapped.
