The Effect of Altitude Conditions on the Particle Emissions of a J85-Ge-5l Turbojet Engine

By National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Particles from a J85-GE-5L turbojet engine were measured over a range of engine speeds at simulated altitude conditions ranging from near sea level to 45,000 ft and at flight Mach numbers of 0.5 and 0.8. Samples were collected from the engine by using a specially designed probe positioned several inches behind the exhaust nozzle. A differential mobility particle sizing system was used to determine particle size. Particle data measured at near sea-level conditions were compared with Navy Aircraft Environmental Support Office (AESO) particle data taken from a GE-J85-4A engine at a sea-level static condition. Particle data from the J85 engine were also compared with particle data from a J85 combustor at three different simulated altitudes. Rickey, June Elizabeth Glenn Research Center...
