It fulfils an important role in the civil and military aviation. Its undesired operation can lead to tragic accidents. ence the large role takes the proper preparation for work and adequate regulation. The correctness of the engine work is tested periodically during ground tests. During the ground tests the responses to set engine control lever (D) shift is examined, thus means that the engine is examined from the "set point". During ground testing is not possible to reflect the impact of changing conditions during engine operation in flight so the engine is not tested on the noise signal. It turns out that it is the properties of the noise signal often have a decisive effect on the engine operation correctness and by that on the safety of the flight. ence there is a need to develop methods to assess the state of the engine control signal from noise on the basis of standard ground test from the set point (delivered by the D).

Jego nieprawidłowe działanie może prowadzić do tragicznych wypadków. tąd dużej roli nabierają ich prawidłowe przygotowanie do pracy i odpowiednia regulacja. Poprawność pracy silnika jest testowana podczas okresowo przeprowadzanych prób naziemnych. Bada się jego odpowiedzi na zadane przesunięcie dźwignią sterowania silnikiem (D) zatem silnik badany jest od wartości zadanej. W trakcie prób naziemnych nie ma możliwości odzwierciedlenia wpływu zmiennych warunków panujących podczas pracy silnika w trakcie lotu zatem silnik nie jest badany od sygnału zakłóceń. Okazuje się, że to właśnie właściwości od sygnału zakłóceń niejednokrotnie mają decydujący wpływ na poprawność pracy silnika a przez to na bezpieczeństwo lotu. tąd pojawiła się potrzeba opracowania metody oceny stanu regulacji silnika od sygnału zakłóceń na podstawie standardowych badań podczas prób naziemnych od wartości zadanej (D). łowa kluczowe: diagnostyka, niezawodność, regulacja, silnik odrzutowy 181

Introduction implified diagram of the air jet engine control system (UAR) can be reduced to the standard automatic control scheme like it has been shown in Fig. 1:[3, 4, 5, 6] Fig. 1. implified turbo jet engine control system, where: R controller transfer function, O object transfer function, w set value (setting by the engine control lever), z input signal (noise), y output signal (rotational speed), e=w-y controller input signal (control error), u controller output signal (command signal) During engine ground tests set value w can be easily delivered by the engine control lever, but the introduction of noise signal "z" to the system, e.g. by partially covering the air intake is difficult and dangerous, and therefore prohibited. In addition, a noise signal "z" during ground tests is low-power and constant, so therefore the study of UAR from "z" was dropped and focused solely on the study from "w" [3, 4, 5]. owever, during the flight noise signal "z" generated by such phenomena as the firing of rockets, turbulence, side gusts, tight turn, etc. takes on high power as well as the importance and impact on the engine operation, sometimes leading to undesirable changes in the speed and even the flameout. It is also known that improving the quality of the engine from the "w" causes deterioration of the motor from the "z" [1, 9, 10]. 2. Description of control system of the K-15 Functional diagram of the air jet engine (K-15) control system was shown on fig. 2. Based on the functional diagram (fig. 2) the block diagram of the jet engine control system was made. [3] It is worth noting that the jet engine parameters change with the change of flight parameters (eg height). It is possible to calculate T W and k W - which are the time constant and the gain of the jet engine at a certain height, based on the engine T and k during ground tests and dependencies [1]: p kw k (1) p T 0 T T 0 W T p p (2) 0 Where: p 0 and p it is pressure on ground level and height T 0 and T it s temperature on ground level and height. 182

Karol olak, Lindstedt Paweł The table 2 shows that the engine in flight is more sensitive to Δk and ΔT changes. ignals "y" and "w" occurring in the block diagram of the automatic control of a jet engine turbine (Fig. 1) are recorded during the standard ground tests, so that makes possible to calculate the relationship between them. [4, 5] What remains unknown is the relationship between "y" and "z", which is an important relationship for aircraft in flight. Therefore is searched the possibility of carry out such tests on the ground (the input signal is "w"), to get not only y=f(w) but also y=f(z). 3. A comprehensive aircraft engine research model from w and z To study work quality of the jet engine from "z" using the sample of "w", is necessary to carry out the identification of transfer functions of the automatic control system components (fig. 1). ere's how to identify [4, 5]. Identification of the object from the "w" (the assumption that z=0) where the input signal is "u", the output is "y": OW Y (3) U Identification of the controller from the "w" (the assumption that z=0) where the input signal is w-y or 1-y, the output is "u". RW U U W Y 1Y Identification of the object from the "z" (the assumption that w=0) where the input signal is to z-u or 1-u, the output is "y". O Y Y U 1U Identification of the controller from the "z" (the assumption that w=0) where the input signal is y, the output is "u". R (4) (5) U (6) Y From the analysis of the fig. 1 the transfer functions W (for z=0) and (for w=0) can be obtained as shown below: OW RW W 1 (7) Transfer functions (7) and (8) are different. OW RW O 1 (8) O R 187
Analysis of the quality assessment of the jet engines rotational speed... Analiza oceny jakości przebiegu prędkości obrotowej silnika odrzutowego... Comparing the W and it is concluded that as a result of multiplication of the transfer function obtained during the engine ground tests by the inverse transfer function from the same tests it is possible to obtain transfer function W in the same form as but resulting without the need for test from "z". W OW RW 1 OW 1 1 OW RW RW OW RW In addition, it is stated that the transfer functions W and W are determined based on the same signals, which are: "y", "u" and "w". With relations between W and W can be found links between W and. In accordance with the principles of automation system components transfer functions OW, O, RW and R can be described by a quotient of power spectral density of output and input signals. [2, 4, 5, 7] Y OW U (10) uu O Y U y( zu) ( zu)( zu) (12) RW U W Y U u( w ( w( w (9) (11) uy R Y (13) yy Thus transfer functions W, and W based on formulas (5), (6) and (7) takes the form: W u( w uu ( w ( w u( w 1 u( w uu ( w ( w u( w uu ( w( w (14) y( zu) ( zu)( zu) yy y( zu) 1 y( zu) uy yy ( zu)( zu) uy y( zu) ( zu)( zu) yy (15) W u( w ( w( w uu ( w ( w u( w u( w ( w( w uu ( w ( w u( w (16) There is no similarity between the W (5) and (6). owever, such similarity exists between the transfer functions W and W and further between W and. o by setting the W it is possible to determine. 188
Karol olak, Lindstedt Paweł When assumed that step response y from z is searched based on the response from w then receive: W yy y(1 u) yy (1 u)(1 u) uy y(1 u) (1 (1 uu (1 (1 u(1 (17) (18) When assumed that impulse response y from z is searched based on the response from w then receive: yy y( u) yy ( u)( u) uy y( u) (19) W ( ( uu ( ( u( (20) Where: ( )( ) Then: u u uu ( ( yy W yyy( u) yy uu uy y( u) ( ( uu ( ( u( (21) (22) Next assumed that: u( ( u Next, following formulas are received: W yyy( u) yy uu uy u( yy uu yy uy u( (23) (24) 189
Analysis of the quality assessment of the jet engines rotational speed... Analiza oceny jakości przebiegu prędkości obrotowej silnika odrzutowego... This means that transfer function W will be equivalent with when (24) will be replace by y-u (23) ("u" recorded during ground tests must be enter with sign "-". o, there is a strict relationship between transfer functions W and. Can be written: W yy y( u) yy yy uu uy u( y( u) yy uu uy u( (25) y( u) W (26) and finally substituting the (24) to (26): yy y( u) uu yy uy u( (27) Thus, based on the transfer function W the transfer function can be determined. The transfer function is the qualitative and quantitative relationship between the signals y and z, (which is its significant attribute) determined as a transfer function W based on signals y and u. Transfer function allows to determine the characteristics from z (ground and flight) based on signals recorded during ground tests. )[4, 5]. 4. Conclusion Using the results obtained during the standard test conducted on ground from set value "w" it is possible to infer the state of a turbine jet engine regulation from noise signal "z". This problem is very important because such an control state improvement from the signal "w" gives the deterioration of the control state of "z" which is especially important during the flight of an airplane. The ability to predict engine response to specific accidents occurring during the flight (such as air blast, firing rockets) allows for such adjustments to minimize its sensitivity to occurring environment variables (eg, to prevent engine stalling).
