dc.description.abstractThis article presents the implementation of an updated analytical flow mixing model in a state-of-the-art, non-dimensional gas turbine cycle performance simulation and optimisation tool. The model considers three separate streams in the mixer, each expanding through its own ‘virtual’ nozzle. The use of three streams, compared to one single stream, allows for a more realistic simulation of a mixed exhaust gas turbine. This approach is used in a parametric study to assess the effect of the choice of mixing efficiency and mixer inlet Mach number on the preliminary design of mixed-exhaust, high-bypass ratio turbofan engines. It was found that in terms of best thermal performance, a trade-off exists between mixer inlet Mach number and mixer effectiveness. The findings of this research establish some useful guidelines for the accurate selection of these two parameters to achieve robust cycle designs.en_UK
