All values for corrected spool speed in the

map are relative to 13926rpm which is the
Map Reference Corrected Speed.

The blades and disks of this compressor

are mechanically designed for 14284 rpm.
This is the Map Reference Speed of the
compressor.

compressor is done for the compressor

inlet temperature of T2 = 303.15K. Since The Relative

Corrected Spool
the velocity of sound is higher than on a Speed is 1.000
standard day (T2=288.15K) all the Mach
numbers are lower while the compressor
is running at 14284rpm. T2 = 288.15K
and N = 13926 rpm yield the same Mach
number level as T2 = 303.15K and N =
14284 rpm

We will write the scaled compressor map to file.

This can be done from the Operating Line Window.
 Saving a Scaled Map

The Map Reference Speed and the Map Reference

Corrected Speed are found in that map file

Next we will use this compressor in a turboshaft

engine. Close this window and go back to the

We will use the same compressor as before. At which point in the map the
compressor of the turboshaft engine will operate we can freely select.

Let us choose the same operating point as in the turbojet:

T2 = 303.15K (ISA+15K)
W2Rstd = 32 kg/s
P3/P2 = 12
Isentropic Comp Efficiency = 0.85

Now we will replace the standard compressor map

the map scaling point. If
Corrected marked with the yellow square the pressure the map is scaled, then
ratio is 8.3 and the mass flow is 33.5. Note this point becomes the
that the scaling factors are all unequal to 1.0 cycle design point.

before.

Close the Special
Maps window

All the scalers are equal to 1.0. This is the

case because we have made the gas
generator part of the turboshaft design cycle
equal to the turbojet design point.
