ABSTRACT:
This report is the final in a series of Technical Summary Reports for the Advanced Gas Turbine (AGT) Technology Development Project, authorized under NASA Contract DEN3-167 and sponsored by the DOE. The project was administered by Mr. Thomas N. Strom, Project Manager, NASA-Lewis Research
Project effort conducted under this contract is part of the DOE Gas Turbine Highway Vehicle Systems Program. This program is directed at providing the United States automotive industry the high-risk, long range technology necessary to produce gas turbine engines for automobiles that will have reduced fuel consumption and reduced environmental impact. The intent is that this technology will be capable of reaching the marketplace by the 1990s.
The Garrett/Ford automotive Advanced Gas Turbine has been designated the AGT101 The AGT101 nominally is a 74. 5 kw (100 shp) engine, capable of speeds to 100,000 rpm and operating at turbine inlet temperatures to 1370C(2500F) with a specific fuel consumption level of 0.18 kg/kw-hr(0.3 lbs/hp-hr) over most of the operating range.
This final report summarizes the powertrain design, power section development, and component/ceramic technology development. Appendices include summary reports of progress from Ford Motor Company, AiResearch Casting Company and Pure Carbon, acting as major subcontractors and suppliers of ceramic materials and components. Standard Oil Company's Unique and Common work accomplished under this program is published in topical report (TBD).
