A real time microcomputer implementation of sensor failure detection for turbofan engines

Sensor Failure Detection for Jet Engines Using Analytical Redundancy

Noise Reduction Technologies for Turbofan Engines

Significant progress continues to be made with noise reduction for turbofan engines. NASA has conducted and sponsored research aimed at reducing noise from commercial aircraft. Since it takes many years for technologies to be developed and implemented, it is important to have aggressive technology goals that lead the target entry into service dates. Engine noise is one of the major contributors...

Fan Flow Deflection for Supersonic Turbofan Engines

We present an initial parametric investigation of fan flow deflectors for suppressing noise from supersonic turbofan engines. Realistic exhaust geometry and flow conditions for bypass ratio 2.7 were simulated in a subscale experiment. The study encompassed acoustic measurement and mean velocity surveys. The deflectors comprised internal vanes with both symmetric and cambered airfoil sections an...

Detection of Fuel Adulteration in Real Time Using Optical Fiber Sensor and Peripheral Interface Controller

Detection of fuel adulteration in real time is the most important need of the world as it generates the hazardous effects on the environment, living and nonliving things. Various automotive users and fuel providers may mix kerosene in petrol and diesel. Adulterated fuel increases air pollution, as well as reduces the performance of vehicle engines. Such a malpractice in fuel is prevailing becau...
