Abstract
Entropy generation and energy efficiency of turbofan engines become greater concern in recent years caused by rises fuel costs and as well as environmental impact of aviation emissions. This study describes calculation of entropy generation for a two-spool CFM56-7B high-bypass turbofan widely used on short to medium range, narrow body aircrafts. Entropy generation and power analyses are performed for five main engine components obtaining temperature-entropy, entropy-enthalpy, pressure-volume diagrams at ≈121 kN take-off thrust force. In the study, maximum entropy production is determined to be 0.8504 kJ/kg K at the combustor, while minimum entropy generation is observed at the low pressure compressor component with the value of 0.0025 kJ/kg K. Besides, overall efficiency of the turbofan is determined to be 14 %, while propulsive and thermal efficiencies of the engine are 35 % and 40 %, respectively. As a conclusion, this study aims to show increase of entropy due to irreversibilities and produced power dimension in engine components for commercial turbofans and aero-derivative cogeneration power plants.
