Abstract :
The mini Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) engine is a smaller jet engine model
using an electric motor with electrical energy as the driving force. EDF engine will
be added to the thrust augmented system. By adding the thrust augmented system,
an engine cone is needed as a combustion place. Because it is used as a burning
place, an engine cone must have a material with high heat resistance, besides the
material used must also be lightweight. Based on the descriptio, this final project
will determine the type of material and thermal analysis for engine cone mini
electric jet engine.
In this study, it will simulate the fuel combustion on a mini electric jet engine
system. This study uses a numerical method with CATIA V5R20 software for
additional modeling of existing models and ANSYS software for thermal analysis
on engine cone. The variation used for thermal engine cone analysis is 3 mass flow
rates of 3.12 g/s, 1.6 g/s and 0.8 g/s, and uses 2 types of material, aluminum and
polylactic acid (PLA) at each mass flow variation.
The results of thermal analysis for cone engine mini electric jet engine, show
that the variation of mass flow rate results in the spread of heat from different fuel
combustion which will have an impact on the engine cone mini electric jet engine.
PLA material can withstand the temperature of combustion of fuel with a mass flow
rate of fuel 1.6 g/s
