Abstract
Methods fcr comparing gas turbine engines where the thermodynamic
cycle begins and ends in the atmosphere are well defined and documented.
No such comparison technique(s) exists for the gas generator or core
portion of the engine. The term gas generator or core refers to the
high pressure compressor and turbine, and the combustor.
This thesis formulates gas generator performance parameters,
develops methods of testing and data reduction necessary to obtain
these parameters, establishes criteria for comparing two gas
generators, and develops an analytical model to test the validity
of the comparison method.
