    Turbine-Less Ducted Fan Jet Engine: Subsonic Propulsion

    Uploaded by

    زهديابوانس
    This document summarizes a project to simulate, test, and validate a conceptual turbine-less ducted fan jet engine design. The objective is to analyze flow patterns, pressure differences, and measure thrust, performance, and efficiency. The background discusses conventional turbine engines and introduces the turbine-less ducted fan concept. A CAD model and rapid prototype were developed. CFD analysis was conducted using Solidworks and Ansys software. Wind tunnel testing measured voltage, power input, RPMs, exit velocities, and thrust at varying speeds. Applications include high-speed UAVs and V/STOL aircraft. Future work involves completing CFD analysis, dynamic testing, and nozzle design.

    Turbine-less Ducted Fan Jet Engine

    What is a ducted fan?


    A fan or compressor installed inside
    a duct

    Why Turbine-less?
    No need for a turbine to drive the
    compressor
    Compressor is driven by electric
    motor

    Advantages:
    Less fuel consumption
    Less expensive
    Not difficult to manufacture
    Solar panel or fuel cell for electricity
    Hydrogen from fuel cell for
    combustion
    Quiet propulsion; suitable for
    undetected surveillance
