Abstract


This study examines the performance and thermodynamic behavior of a 2 spool gas turboshaft engine through simulation. The analysis reveals efficient air compression and energy extraction, with moderate losses due to irreversibilities. The combustor effectively converts fuel energy into thermal energy, demonstrating high efficiency. The overall engine performance is marked by substantial power output and acceptable fuel consumption. Detailed thermodynamic analyses, including entropy vs. temperature and enthalpy vs. entropy graphs, provide insights into energy transformations and losses. Additionally, the specific volume vs. pressure graph illustrates the effectiveness of the compression and expansion stages. These findings confirm the high efficiency and reliable performance of the 2 spool gas turboshaft engine, highlighting its potential for optimization to meet the demands of modern aviation and industrial applications.
