Abstract:

The program propose was to convert the Auxiliary Power Unit APU portion of the Advanced Auxiliary Power System to an all shaft power configuration, by redesigning the compressor section, but without making any changes to the turbine, combustor, or other components previously developed under the aforementioned contract. The length, diameter and approximate speed of the APU developed under the previous contract were maintained throughout the program. The performance goal was 155 net shaft horsepower output at an average turbine inlet temperature of 2000F and at ambient conditions of 130F and sea level static pressure.
