Volume 2 of this report is a design guide for integral engine inlet separators in the 2 to 15 lb/sec size range. The separators are designed to remove sand, dust, and single foreign objects from the air entering a turboshaft engine. The procedures are based on results of a 30-month program to design and evaluate integral separators in 2, 5, and 15 lb/sec sizes. Also included are procedures developed during ...
Volume I of this report describes the results of a 30-month program to design and evaluate integral engine inlet separators in 2, 5, and 15 lb/sec sizes. The separators are designed to remove sand, dust, and single foreign objects from the air entering a turboshaft engine. Program effort included: (1) Definition of turboshaft engine environment in terms of amounts and types of ingested materials. (2) Mechanical and aerodynamic design trade-off ...
