The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/specializations/domains/science/aerospace-engineering/skills/gas-turbine-cycle/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Purpose

Provide comprehensive gas turbine engine thermodynamic cycle analysis capabilities for turbofan, turbojet, and turboprop engine design and optimization.

Capabilities

  • NPSS and GasTurb model setup and execution
  • Component matching and off-design analysis
  • Turbofan, turbojet, turboprop configuration
  • Performance map generation and interpolation
  • Bleed and power extraction modeling
  • Transient performance analysis
  • SFC optimization studies
  • Engine inlet and nozzle integration

Usage Guidelines

  • Select appropriate component models based on engine configuration
  • Validate component maps against available test data
  • Consider off-design performance across the flight envelope
  • Account for bleed and power extraction in system-level analysis
  • Optimize cycle parameters for specific mission requirements
  • Document assumptions and limitations for each analysis

Dependencies

  • NPSS (Numerical Propulsion System Simulation)
  • GasTurb
  • MATLAB

Process Integration

  • AE-004: Gas Turbine Cycle Analysis
