Abstract:

This report presents particulate concentration, emission index and size distribution data in the plume of a TF30-P1 engine, run at military power in the open air. The particle size distribution data measured here show that the mass median aerodynamic diameter of the particles is in the range of 0.19-0.30 micrometer compared to an average of 0.18 micrometer for the test cell data for a rebuilt TF30-P414 engine. Recommendations are listed for future tests.
