rSUMMARY

The DOT/FAA Core Noise Prediction 1 .d,'l was modified to includr- theresuits of additional engine noise data. The three line predictjocn method wasimproved to a single prediction line method by utilizing a turbine work extrac-tion factor. The improvement in the prediction model has yielded a correla-tion within ±2 dB for all data analyzed to date.

A total of thirteen sets of engine data were evaluated. Three of thesesets were from non-General Electric tests: a JT8D-109 (P&WA) low bypass ratioturbofan, a TPE 331-201 (Garrett) turboshaft engine and a Tr34 (NASA) highbypass turbofan. The spectra and directivity of all three sets agree with theprediction method of Volume II, Section 3. The turboshaft engine and the TF34power levels also agreed with this prediction; however, the low bypass ratioturbofan was 6 dB higher than the levels predicted from high bypass ratioengine data. It is suggested that the higher levels of combustor noise aredue to lower turbine blade row attenuation for this low bypass engine. Whenthe blade row attenuation is accounted for by means of a turbine work extrac-tion term, the JT8D-109 uata appear to be within 1 dB of the prediction line.In addition, the Boeing Company provided four other sets of high bypass ratioturbofan engine data, which were within ±2 dB of the prediction line.

An evaluation of the Quiet Engine Program Fan "A" engine data was per-formed over the entire operating range. The data were found to agree withboth the overall power level and the spectral shape used in the predictionmethod for power settings up to and including takeoff.

The combustor component spectra were found to have the same shape as theprediction spectrum and the spectral envelope (see Volume II, Section 3).I1owever, the frequevcy of the peak level was found to vary from 210 to 800 Hz;"-hereas the prediction for engine core noise sets the peak level at 400 Hz± a one-third octave band. It is suspected that the influence of the enginecomponents along the propagation path and termination of the nozzle have aninfluence on both the radiated spectrum shape and peak frequency, which wouldaccount for the peak frequency differences.

The overall power levels of the component combustors were significantlyhigher than the engine data for any value of the prediction parameter. Thisis most probably due to -he attenuation occurring in passage through thedownstream turbine blade rows. A theoretical analysis for turbine blade rowattenuation successfully models this phenomenon, but over predicts the atteno-uaticn as indicated by the comparison of the component and engine data.Currently, an in-depth program to investigate turbine blade row attenuation isunderway (NAS3-19435 and DOT-FA75WA-3688). The results of a parametric studycouduct'd with this analysis indicated that the low frequency noise attenu-ation was a function of the work extraction by the turbine blade rows. Thethree line prediction me. od for core noise levels given in Volume II col-lapsed to a uaiversal '' ae when the engine data were normalized by the designpoint work extraction by the turbines.

INTRODUCTION

A predicti '. for low frequency core engine noise was derived from anevaluation of available data as a part of Phase IV of the Core Engine NoiseProgram. This basic (Reference 1) prediction was modified to take intoaccount the three hauic engine types, turbofan, turboshaft and turbojet.The ' correlation that was r'iown was based primarily on the low frequency datafrom the engines at low power setting.

The engine data available at the time was in many cases signi ficantl~yinfluenced by jet noise at the higher power settings. Since the writing ofthat report, additional engine data have become available to enter into thecorrelation. Some of these data permit evaluation of engine core noise athigher power settings.

The differences in the absolute level of the low frequency noise radia-tion from the three engine types has been attributed to the varying attenua-tion of combustor noise while propagating through the downstreami turbineblade rows.* An analysis to explain the phenomenon of attenuation of lowfrequency noise by turbine blade rows has become available and some resultsfrom that analysis are presented. The assumption of this attenuation mechanism

permited addition of component data to the correlation. Two series ofA opnn et r eotd

ADDITIONAL ENGINE DATA

During the evaluation cf core noise data presented in Volume III it wasnoted that several sets of additional engine data were forthcoming which werenot available at the time of that report's publication. The engines werethe NASA JT8D-109 Refan, a Garrett turboshaft and a TF34 high bypass turbofan.The results of these subsequent engine tests are presented here. In addition,the Boeing Company provided 6 data sets from turbofan engines for comparisonwith the prediction.

2.1 NASA JT8D-109 REFAN ENGINE

Low frequency core noise from a JT8D-109 refan engine has been evaluatedby comparing this data to the core noise prediction.* Low frequency corenoise is present for this engine over a range of lower power settings.

Figure 2-1 shows that the spectral shapes fall between the broader moreconservative spectral envelope (Volume III, Figure 3.3-2) and the more narrowT64 spectrum which was found to be a good approximation of component coubustornoise. Both of these spectra are peaked at 400 Hz, (however the peak could beone-third octave band higher or lower). The Refan data peaks between 400 and500 Hz. The data indicates that there is a variation in the spectrum shapewith angle. The refan spectra fall between the two suggested by the predictionmethod, however.

The predicted directivity peaks at 1200, and does not change shape with!. speed. The refan directivities are similar in shape, however the angle at

which they peak changes from 130' to 110* as engine speed increases (Figure2-2).

These variations in spectral shape and directivity are consioered minor.The major variation of the JT8D-109 Refan occurs in level. The NASA data wereprovided in the form of peak OASPL versus percent fan speed, and on this basisthe OASPL at 120* was found to be 6 dB higher (Figure 2-3) than the predictionfor typical high bypass ratio turbofan engines used in the GE method. Thislevel is almost as high as the turboshaft engines (which were 8 dB higher thanturbofans). This difference in levels could possibly be due to either of twocontributing factors. The first is that the "can"-type combustors employed inthe JT8D-109 engine could possibly have ganerated higher levels. The corenoise prediction was developed based on annular combustors. The second factor,

however, is probably of greater significance. This involves the workextraction by the turbines. The transmission loss due to turbine blade rowattenuation appears to be a function of the total temperature drop (T4 - T5)

through the turbine stages and the three prediction lines for core noiseOAPWL can be collapsed by normalizing the data through a 40 log (T4 - T5 )factor - as is shown in Appendix A. It is interesting to note that at designpoint, (T4 - T5 ) for the refan engine was 8300 R (461* K) while that forthe typical high bypass turbofan engine used in the OAPWL correlation was1120* R (622* K). The refan engine (T4 - T5 ) is more representative of theturboshaft engines used in the correlation. Based on these numbers, therefan engine data would lie within ldB of the correlation when normalizedby 40 log (T4 - T5 ) since this would account for 5.2 dB of the observed 6 dBdifference between the refan data and the high bypass engine correlatingline.

2.2 GARRETT TURBOSHAFT ENGINE

The low frequency core noise from turboshaft engines is relatively easyto evaluate, because fan noise does not exist, plus the jet noise is quitelow. A turboahaft engine in the 840 shaft horse power (SHP) class was testedby Garrett-AiResearch Company (Reference 2). Various suppression devices wereemployed and their effects measured with farfield microphones located every15 degrees on a 100 ft (30.48 m) arc. The configuration evaluated for corenoise had a suppressed inlet and an untreated exhaust duct 9.3 inches (23.6 cm)long. The dynamometer which absorbed the shaft horsepover was sealed in anacoustical enclosure.

A comparison of a measured spectrum and the core noise prediction envelopecan be seen in Figure 2-4. Below the first ground null, which occurs at 500Hz, there appears to be the typical 6 dB pressure doubling due to groundreflections. At the higher frequencies, the continued nulls and reinforcementpeaks which are caused by the ground effect can be seen. The levels of thespectra which were evaluated are not believed to be influenced by exhaust jetnoise since the exhaust velocity did not exceed 250 ft/sec (76.2 m/sec).Therefore, below 1000 Hz, the spectra are dominated by core noise. Turbinenoise is probably influencing the spectra above this frequency. Keeping .theground effects in mind, the prediction spectrum peaked at 400 Hz is seen toprovide a good fit to the data.

The radiation directivity pattern for the peak frequency is plotted inFigure 2-5. The data scatter appears to be roughly what has been seen fromthe evaluation of other engine data. The peak level appears to occur at 135*from the inlet and is constant over the speed range tested. The predictiondirectivity, which peaks at 120', still provides a reasonable approximation.

The overall power levels were determined from the turboshaft engine powerlevel spectra. The prediction spectra envelope level and peak frequency werefitted to the power level spectra as in Figure 2-4. The overall level wasdetermined as the peak level of the spectra plus 9.9 dB (where the 9.9 dB isthe difference between the prediction spectral envelope's peak level and the

overall level for that spectral shape). The overall power levels determinedby this method are plotted against the engine prediction parameter in Figure2-6. The data can be seen to follow the same general trend as the turboshaftengine prediction line.

2.3 NASA TF34 ENGINE TEST

Comparison of NASA data (Figure 2-7) for configurations with varyingamounts of treatment generally indicate significant core noise contribution tothe farfield levels for speeds below 5100 rpm. The low frequency noise suppres-sion shown in the spectra is due to a fairly short (12-inch) and deep (A-inch)bulk absorber used in the core nozzle along with the usual high frequencyturbine treatment.

The low frequency suppression cannot be seen at the higher power settings,indicating jet noise domination of the spectrum. These observations wereverified by plotting the directivities for the affected frequencics.

Earlier in the Core Engine Noise Program, core noise estimates for theTF34 were derived from General Electric data and spotted on the OAPWL predic-tion curve. However, these data included considerable undulations (possiblyground reflection) in the spectra and hence there was some doubt whether:

a. core noise was present in the Zarfield spectra (this questionhas been addressed above), and

b. the valleys and peaks in the spectra could be attributedentirely to ground reflections and, therefore, the freefieldspectra defined by simply faring in a smooth line.

General Electric data are compared with the NASA ground microphone spectrain Figure 2-8. A one-to-one comparison io impossible since the General Elec-tric data are for separate flow configurations (fan exhaust upstream of coreexhaust) while those from NASA are for a confluent flow configuration. It isclear however, that the undulations in the General Electric spectra (below1000 Hz) do result from ground reflections. The agreement between the GeneralElectric and NASA levels indicate that the early General Electric estimates ofTF34 core noise were fairly good.

2.4 BOEING DATA

The Boeing Company has provided data irom six turbofan engines in acomparison with the prediction. The overall sound pressure levels at the 1200angle on a 200 foot (60.96m) sideline were plotted (Figure 2-9) against theprediction parameter. It was observed that the high bypass ratio turbofanengine data agreed very well with the turbofan prediction line. However, thelow bypass turbofan fell close to the turboshaft Li e similar to the results(Figure 2-3) for the Refan.

Note that the data in Figure 2-9 extend to power settings beyond theoriginal correlation.

ENGINE HIGH POWJER SETTING EVALUATION

Examination of acoustic data from turbojets and turbofans at high powersettings revealed that in most cases jet noise contaminated or oversuhadowed thecore noise in the aft quadrant. In order to~ provide additional high powersetting data an investigative technique consisting of studying the exponentof the exhaaust velocity for each frequency at each angle along with the. effectsof acoustic treatment on the contaminating noise sources was used.

Acoust.ic data was evaluated for discernible core noise at t.±gh powersettings on the T64, GEl2, Quiet Engines "A" and "1C", TF34, CF6, J65, J79,J85 and GE4.

There was no problem with jet or fan noise contamination for the turbo-sha~ft engines (T64, GE12). Data encompassing the entire operating range isspotted on the prediction line. The Garrett data also included high powersettings. The examination of turbofan engine data revealed that Engine "A"data provided discernible core noise levels over the entire operating range ofthe engine. The data from the other engines mentioned above did not yield anysignificant or consistent indications of core roise at high power settings.

3.1 THE SPECTRUM LEVEL

is the contaminating influence of other noise sources, mainly the fan and

the jet. There are two methods that can be used to evaluate the relativeeffects of these other noise sources. The effect of fan noise can be evalu-ated by comparing the spectral data from an unsuppressed fan to a fullysuppressed fan configuration at the angle where core noise is expected topeak, namely 120* from the engine inlet (see Section 3, Volume III). Whenthe levels of the two spectrum converge it can be reasonably assumed that the

fan has litt~le or no effect on the spectrum.

The presence of jet noise can be determined by examining the sound pres-sure levels for the individual one-third octave frequency bands and plotting

them against the core exh~aust velocity over the operating range of the engine.When the slope of the plot indicates an exh~aust velocity to the sixth poweror higher relationship, it can be assumed that jet noise is dominating thespectrum. However, when the slope of the data indicates an exh~aust velocityto the fourth power dependency, i.t can be assumed that some other source domi-~nates. Hence, the one-third octave band levels, which could not be identifiedas either fan noise or jet noise and which followed a core exh~aust velocityto the fourth power, are indicative of core noise.

Page 27: CORE ENGINE NOISE CONTROL PROGRAM

Data from Engine "A" of the NASA Quiet Engine Program provide a good setof data for evaluation of core noise at the higher power setting. Figure 3-1shows a low power setting spectrum at 120* from the inlet. The region offan noise dominance can be seen beginning at 1250 Hz and continues to 10,000lUz. On the very low frequency end, jet noise can be seen to dominate. Theprediction for coannular jet noise is plotted over the measured data. Theremaining portion of the spectrum, between 400 and 1000 Hz, has the core noiseprediction spectrum drawn in. The influence of jet noise at any particularone third octave band is eva'.uated from the exponent of the exhaust velocity(Figure 3-2). At 315 Hz a line representing the exhaust velocity raised tothe sixth power has been drawn through the data. The close fit of the data atthis frequency indicates that jet noise is dominating over the whole enginespeed range with the exception of the lowest speed point. This lowest pointdiverges in a direction which would I.ndicate a velocity to the fourth power,or the presence of core noise, This same trend is observed at 400 Hz. At500 liz however, Lhere is a divergence from the velocity to the sixth powerwhich now occurs at a higher power setting. At this frequency the lowestthree points appear to be core noise and the upper 3 points appear to be jetnoise dominated. The next three frequencies, (630, 800 and 1000 Hz) clearlyfollow the exhaust velocity to the fourth power relationship over the entireengine speed range.

Thc frequency range of core noise dominance as a function of enginepower-level was evaluated from the spectra. Figure 3-3 shows three enginesnectra, each with the component sources which generate the spectrum indicated.The level of the core noise can be determined by fitting the core noise pre-diction spectrum to the engine data. Based on the peak level of this spectrumand the core noise prediction directivity the core noiee power levels can beobtained over the engine's entire speed range. The power levels calculate bythis method are plotted against the core noise prediction parameter in Figare3-4. As can be seen, the level follows the prediction line for turbofanengines very well.

These data verify that the core noise prediction parameter is valid overthe whole operating range of an engine.

3.2 SPECTRAL SHAPE AT HIGH POWER SETTINGS

At the lower power settings, the core noise prediction spectrum fits themeasured Engine "A" data for 6 one-third octave bands (Figure 3-3). Whenthe engine -:-peed is inzreased to 95Z fan speed the slope of the jet noisespectrum approaches tbe slope of the core noise spectrum; however the corenoise spectrum still maintains a good fit over 5 one-third octave bands. The'-eis no indication that the core noise spectral shape differs appreciably fromthe prediction spe:trum over the engine operating range.

3.3 ENGINE HIGH POWER SETTING DIRECTIVITY

At the higher power settings it was found that for angles greater than120* the directivity pattern followed the jet noise prediction. At i.an speedshigher than approximately 70%, jet noise has a significant influence on thedirectivity. In this case it is assumed that the core notie direcLivity doesnot change at the higher power levels.

As was uoted earlier, the turboshaft data were found to include cignifi-cant core noise over the entire operating range, as were those from Engine"A". The data from the other engines were found to be controlled by eitherjet or fan noise.

The Boeing data (Figure 2-9) also extends to high power settings andthus provide additional verification of the prediction line.

ADDITIONAL COMPONENT DATA

4.1 COMPONENT COMBUSTOR SPECTRA

Component combustor tests were preformed at atmospheric pressure under7 the original portion of this program. The results are reported in Volume 11

(Section 3). The acoustic data were originally acquired with 16 ft (4.88 mn)high microphones on the 40 ft (12.19 in) radius arc, however, ground reflectionswere found to create nulls and peaks in the low frequency region of the spectra.A spectral correction for these ground effects was obtained from a comparativeexamination of data taken with microphones at the 16 ft (4.88 mn) and 2 ft

* ~(0.61 m) heighit. The two foot microphone height moves the first null of theground reflJection to a frequency of about 2000 Hz and out of the range ofinterest. Thesc corrections were applied to the original data taken at thehigher miczrophone height. The resulting spectra are plotted in Figures 4-1and 4-2 for the Advanced Technology (AT) and CF6 combustors respectively. Forcomparison purposes the core noise prediction spectrum shape is shown for onetemperature setting. The prediction spectrum shape agrees with the shape ofthe data, however the frequency at which the peak occurs is 200 Hz. This istwo one-third octave bands lower than what would be expected from the currentengine core noise prediction procedure. The difference may be due to thedownstream turbine blade rows and the nozzle end impedance encountered inengines. Cross sectional schematics of a turbofan engine, an atmosphericpressure component corbustor test rig, and a high pressure component comb~ustortest configuration are shown in Figure 4-3.

Noise measurements of component combiustors operating at high inlet tem-peratures and pressures were taken by GE under the Experimental Clean CombustorProgram (Contract No. NAS3-18551'. This program involved testing threedesign philosophies of low emission full scale annular combustors, the Swirl-

* Can, Radial/Axial, and Double Annular. The combustors were tested in a highpressure component test rig. Acoustic probes measured the levels immediatelydownstream of the combiustor. Representative sound pressure level spectra canbe seen in Figure 4-4. Simulated approach and takeoff combustor inlet

*in good agreement with the measured spectra for all the configurations at4

approach power conditions. The T64 spectrum, which falls off somewhat rapidlyabove 1000 Hz, is also shown. At the takeoff (inlet) condition, however,some of the configuration's peak levels appear to shift to a hipher frequency.The spectral en~.elope is peaked at 800 Hz and fits the Double Annular and the90-Swirl-Can spectra. The Radial/Axial combustor shows higher levels at thehigher frequencies, but can not be considered a typical annular comrbustor.This configuration employed afterburner type flaieholders which are believedto be responsible for the broader spectral shape. Again, the end terminationwas somewhat different from that for engines, and this may involve a spectralre-ordering due to frequency dependent attenuation and radiation.

Page 37: CORE ENGINE NOISE CONTROL PROGRAM

The higher pressure combustor noise tests appear to fit the broaderspectral envelope, while the engine data in general tend to follow the T64(narrower) spectrum. The difference may be attributed to the effect of theturbine blade rows downstream of the combustor in the case of engines.

4.2 COMPONENT COMBUSTOR POWER LEVEL

The noise levels of the component combustors can be compared on a powerlevel basis. The CF6 and AT combustor power levels were calculated from far-field arc data. Their overall levels were arrived at by logarithmicallysumnming the one-third octave band power levels over the frequency range of100 to 2000 Hz. The high pressure combustor data were summed over the 31.5 to5000 Hz frequency range and the power level was calculated based on the localtemperature, pressure, Mach number and cross section annulus area:

PWL - SPL + lOLog1 0 (A) + 1OLog1 0 [pVT$ o ]+ 1OLogl0 [l+MN) + K

where A is the annulus area (square meters) at the probe's sensing holes, Pand T are the local pressure (atmospheres) and temperature (0 K) where thesubscripts indicate standard day reference levels and MN is the Mach number ofthe flow past the probe. The constant K is the sum of the SPL and PWL refer-ence levels and the standard day characteristic impedance of the mediu.n. Itshould be noted that there is no coefficient in front of the Mach number. Acoefficient may be used if it is assumed the acoustic waves strike the probeat random incidence angles. The wavelength of the sotnd being considered ismuch larger than the passage height dimension, therefore a plane wave assump-tion can be made which makes the coefficient unnecessary. The standard dayreference temperature and pressure are 2880 K and one atmosphere. The constantK is 9.9 dB.

These overall power levels are compared by plotting them against theengine prediction parameter (Figure 4-5). The major portion of the componentdata fall above the turbojet prediction line.

The grouping of the 3 classes of engines and the relationship of thecomponent noise power levels to the engine data strongly suggests an attenua-tion mechanism for combustor noise along the propagation path through theturbine stages and exhaust duct.

4.3 TURBINE BLADE ROW ATTENUATION

The attenuation of low frequency noise through a turbine stage has beenanalytically predicted by K. Bekofske (Reference 3). His study is based onan actuator disk model. An actuator disk is a cascade model with infinitesi-mal chord length and blade spacing. Since cotbustor low frequency acousticenergy in the high temperature environment has characteristic wavelengths thatare large when compared to both the chord and transverse spacing of a blade

row, the use of the actuator disk model its Justified. In this analysis, therelative Mach nunber at both the inlet and discharge side of either the nozzleor bucket has been anssumd to be subsonic.

The stage attenuation is the difference between the k-nitial wave and thewave amplitude transmitted throuah the stage, This difference is determinedby a reflection coefficient. An infinite duct is assumed upstream of the bladeI row such that the reflected ray continues propagating upstream and is completelyremoved from the system. The calculation of this reflection coefficient takesinto effect the changes in Mach numb~er and the flow turning angle. The stageattenuation can be calculated as a function of the initial wave incidenceangle. It is assumed that the initial wave incidence angle on each stage isclose to zero degrees, (which represents a pl.ane wave striking the stagenormally, Figure 4-6). In actuality it is expected that there is some distri-bution of the incidence wave as a function of angle, with the highest prob-ability at zero de6rees.

The input to a computer program based on this analysis (listed in AppendixB) consists of the axial velocity, absolute flow angle, static pressure andtotal temperature at three locations in any given stage: upstream of thenozzle, between the nozzle and bucket, and downstream of the bucket. Theaerodynamic parameters of each stage of both the high and low pressure turbinesof a typical high bypass turbofan engine for a takeoff condition were input tothis computer program. Figures 4-7 and 4-8 show the first stage of the highpressure turbine and the last stage of the low preseure turbine for a typicalhigh bypass ratio engine. Both figures show an angle where the attenuationsharply increases. Incident waves whose angles are: larger than these angles Iwill be cut off and theoretically no portion of their acoustic energy will betransmitted.

Table 4-1 lists the stage total attenuation at zero degrees for eachstage and the total attenuation for the seven turbine stages. A total of38.9 dB is predicted for this takeoff condition. From the examination of thelow pressure turbine (Table 4-2) attenuation as a function of engine speed, itwas found that the attenuation does not appreciably change with power setting.A comparison of the component and turbofan correlating line indicates that theanalysis somewhat over predicts the attenuation occuring in transmission throughthe blade rows. This over prediction of the attenuation might be attributedto: (1) the assumption that the energy reflected at a blade row is completelyremoved from the system. In reality, the reflected wave can propagate upstreamIto the next blade row and part of this may be reflected back downstream,effectively reducing the attenuation and (2) conditions in an engine whichdeviate from the assumed mean flow between stages. In particular, the inci-dence angle may vary from zero. The trend in the measured data and theanalytic prediction nevertheless, both indicate significant attenuation ofjnoise propagating through the turbine. Further development of the blade rowattenuation prediction technique is required. This work has been initiatedunder Contract NAS3-19435.

CotNCLUBIOS

It is evident that more needs to be understood about the nature ofthe combustor noise source and the propagation path it follows throughan engine before this prediction procedure can be refined further. Never-theless, this prediction techniqu, is quite good when the range of airflow rates (1 to 600 lb/sec) of the engine data which have been evaluatedis considered. The important points in this report are tabulated here:

e The difference between component combustor levels and enginelevels indicates attenuation along the propagation path throughthe engine.

9 The overall power level prediction procedure using three linesfor the engine classes is valid for the entire operating range.The data can be collapsed into a si.ngle line correlation by in-cluding a turbine work extraction term to account for the bladerow attenuation.

* The spectral shapes of combustor and engine core noise vary some-what but fall between the predie'tion spectrum and the spectralenvelope.

* The frequency at which the spectrum peaks also varies, however,based on engine data the peak level occurs at 400 Hz ± a one-third octave band.

* The radiation directivity pattern was generally found to peakat 1200 from the engine inlet.

APPENDIX A

THE ENGINE LOW FREQUENCY CORE NOISE PREDICTION

The procedure consists of first calculating the overall power level(OAPWL) from the prediction parameter. From that, the one-third octave bandpower levels are determined by imposing the prediction spectrum. These powerlevels, the arc radius, and the prediction directivity are finally used tocalculate the one-third octave band sound pressure levels for any angle aroundthe arc.

The overall power level correlation based on engine data was observed toform three separate but parallel prediction lines representing the threeengine types: turbojet, turboshaft, and turbofan. The analysis for theattenuation of low frequency by turbine stages suggests that the work extrac-tion by the turbines is a significant parameter( 4 ) in this delineation of theengine types. The temperature drop across the turbines at design point wasintroduced into the correlation and a data collapse achieved as shown inFigure A-1. The prediction line is defined by:

A

10102 2 10lg( 4-54(A1OAPWM 171 + 10 lo 1 ~(T 4 -T3) (P3/Pa) I-1lo(TT)Des. -l

where W is the weight flow rate in lb/sec., T denotes the total temperature indegrees Rankine, and p the density; station 0 is ambient, 3 the combustorinlet, 4 the combustor exit, and 5 the low pressure turbine exit. The designpoint (T 4 -T 5 ) must be used for any engine, regardless of the power setting.

Actually, the best mean square fit to the data of Figure A-1 is providedby a line with slope of 1.05 instead of the slope of 1.00 as used in equation(A-l). However, the difference between the two lines is very small, about 1dB at either extreme, and the standard deviation is about 2.6 for both. Sinceeither line is well within the scatter range of the other, the final choicewas made on the basis of understanding the causation: the prediction param-eter being a product of the heat release rate [10 log 1(T 4 -T 3 )] and thethermo-acoustic efficiency [10 log (T4-T 3 )],

The temperature drop term is related to the turbine pressure ratio whichhas previously been used in correlations by Gerend, et al.( 5 ) and Grande( 6 ).The number of turbine stages cannot be recommended for use in a correlation asthe analysis strongly indicates that this is not a linear dependency (seeTable 4-1). The effects of the off-design performance on the turbine attenu-ation and nozzle termination are as yet largely unknown factors. Some inves-tigation of thes effects is being conducted under contracts NAS3-19435 andDOT-FA75WA-3688. Meanwhile, equation (A-l) is recommended for predicting theOAPWL.

Page 47: CORE ENGINE NOISE CONTROL PROGRAM

The peak level of the prediction spectrum (Figure A-2) is given

by:

Peak PWL = OAPWL - 6.8, dB (A-2)

This sets the level of the peak frequency one-third octave band powerspectrum. The peak frequency is nominally set at 400Hz, although itis realized that it may occur at a one-third octave band to either side,that is at 315 or 500 Hz,

The complete-power level spectrum is defined by utilizing the narrow(T64) prediction spectrum of Figure A-2 with the peak PWL. However, ifa degree of conservatism is desired, the broader spectrum envelope shownin Figure A-2 can be used insteady.

The sound pressure level at any point around the arc can be foundfrom the power levels through:

SPL =•PWL - 20 Log R - 9.25 + DI - AA (A-3)

Where R is the arc radius in feet and DI is the directivity index fromFigure A-3, and AAMis the air attenuation.
