Turbine performance: understanding notation

AI Thread 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.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
