Turbine performance: understanding notation

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding turbine performance specifications, particularly the terms GT12, 72 Trim, and 0.39 A/R. GT12 refers to the model of the turbine, while 0.39 indicates the area-to-radius ratio. The 72 Trim designation is related to the design of the turbine wheel, impacting its performance characteristics. Additionally, the user seeks guidance on generating a corrected mass flow rate versus pressure ratio curve for a two-wheel bootstrap air cycle machine under varying flight conditions, despite lacking standard data at STP. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these specifications for accurate performance analysis.

Hi Guys. This is for my post graduation project. I came across a turbine performance map where the turbine specs are mentioned as GT12, 72 Trim, 0.39 A/R. Now what exactly these terms means. Please help.

This should explain what trim is, I only briefly read over it but it should help.
Thank You. I have data for a two wheel bootstarp air cycle machine used in aircraft environmental control system for air-conditioning under working conditions. The data is for different flight conditions, different temperature and pressure. I want generate corrected mass flow rate vs pressure ratio curve of the turbine used in the system. I don't have the standard data noted at STP (standard pressure and temperature) conditions, and no manufacture provided performance curve, but can I generate a curve using the available values which is not taken under STP conditions.
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
