Abstract :
Turbofan engine is a development of the turbojet engine with air mass
addition method to increase thrust with more economical fuel consumption than
other engine. Nowadays, turbofan engine can still be optimized by increasing the
FPR (Fan Pressure Ratio), Bypass Ratio, and TIT (Turbine Inlet Temperature), so
the thermodynamics analysis for turbofan engine is needed to determine whether
the engine can be optimized or not.
Thermodynamics analysis process that needs to be done is calculating the
GE-90 engine performance at B777-200 by varying the FPR value, bypass ratio
value and TIT value at cruising condition to determine the total thrust, thrust
specific, and TSFC (Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption). This calculation is done
by Excel and the output is thermodynamics analysis graph that used as a
comparison to determine the deviation from excel calculation and real engine GE
90 data.
From the performance analysis calculation, it can be concluded that the
output increased until the FPR value was 1,7. The total Thrust and Specific Thrust
increased but the TSFC decreased. As bypass ratio (B) increased, the total thrust,
specific thrust and TSFC decreased but on B 9,3 the TSFC increased. As TIT
increased, the thrust total and specific thrust increased but TSFC decreased until
the value was 1300 K and increased after that point
