6 1. Introduction Wright brothers, inventors, and aviation predecessors (1903), which performed the first powerful, continuous and controlled flight of the plane. Wilbur Wright (16 April 1867, Millville, Indiana, USA - May 30, 1912, Dayton, Ohio) and his brother Orville Wright (August 19, 1871, Dayton - January 30, 1948, Dayton) 1905). If your aircraft is a propellerdriven aircraft, it means a lot of things. The propeller (s) creates the propulsion needed to move the airplane and allow the air to flow over the wings to allow the aircraft to advance in the air. The propeller blades are designed like the wings of a plane. It is the airfoils that make up the lift. When it returns, the blades act like mini-wings that accelerate the air-generating elevator. The propeller elevator is often referred to as propeller propulsion and moves horizontally, as opposed to the vertical propulsion that the blades create. Turboprop propellers are driven by a gas turbine engine. Gas turbine engines are more commonly known as jet engines. Turboprop engines have a like normal jet engine. Like other jet enines, it has compressor, combustion, chamber and turbines. However, in contrast to normal jet engines where the turbine is used to generate a backward force to generate forward thrust, the turbine is used to turn the turbine propeller and compressor assembly. They are creating some forward thrust by Newton's third law, but it can be considered that it is very small. It is the propeller that makes up almost all of the thrust. The propeller is not directly twisted by the turbine, but has been passed through a reduction gear to ensure that the propeller passes the required optimum RPM. A propeller that rotates very quickly is very inefficient in terms of both performance and structure when it comes to speed of sound. Here, the turbine that drives the propeller is completely independent of the gas generator section. This turbine is accomplished by the force exerted by the gases produced in the gas generator section. Its advantages include simpler design and operational flexibility. One of these requires less power than a fixed turbine. Figure: 1 Turbine Engine PT-6 free turbine engine. At top, the gas generator is coloured in blue while the power section is coloured red. 6
7 All that is required to operate the propeller is simply to be moved by accelerated gas in red turbines and blue turbines. Because they continue to be used on cargo planes with over 100 tons of weight, both due to the widespread use of small aviation in general aviation, the propellers are still up to date and perhaps even seem likely to increase the percentage of aviation use in the near future. There are some well known examples for turboprop cargo and military aircrafts. Hercules C-130 which is manufactured by United States Air Force, Airbus A400M is made by Airbus and Antonov An-70 which is made by Ukraine (Antonov Design Bureau). 2. Prestudy In this project, a propeller at the base level will be designed and analyzed based on the parameters of the Ukrainian Antonov An-70 military transport aircraft and Ivchenko-Progress ZMKB D-27 the propeller of this aircraft. Below is some information about the Antonov An-70 that will be used in this project. Figure: 2 Antonov An-70 7
8 2.1 Specifivations Antonov An-70 In this work, the propeller design will be based on the Antonov An-70 aircraft and the Progress D-27 propeller that this aircraft will have, so that a plane with a maximum take-off weight of tonnes will be designed with a powerful propeller. First of all it needs to look at some parameters of the Antonov An-70 plane 8

10 The above information is important in the design of the propeller because when a propeller is designed it must be designed according to the conditions under which the aircraft is to be used. If it is desired that the aircraft perform to fly at a certain altitude, the propellers must also be optimized for this situation. However, if the plane is used to combat forest fires, then the propeller must be designed and analyzed to operate at high speeds at low speeds and low altitudes. Because the Antonov An-70 is based on this aircraft, the Antonov An-70 must be designed to deliver maximum output at a cruising altitude of m and a cruising speed of 732 km/h. Figure: 3 Antonov An-70 Propller 10
11 The table below shows the turboprop engines of the Antonov An-70 and the propellers attached to these engines. Table: 1 The above information is very important because it will be used in determining the parameters of the original propeller that will be designed in this design project. Especially the shaft power, torque and rpm figures produced by the turboprop engine will be based on our original design and these values will play an active role in determining the geometry that our propeller will own. In order to be able to determine the parameters of the pump to be designed, the above values will be used as well as the programs to be used. However, in order to understand the working principles of these programs, it is useful to first look at propeller theories. Propeller theories and some basic definitions are described below and will help to better understand the software we will use in our original design. 3. GENERAL CONCEPTS ABOUT PERVANCE The propellers are generally composed of a blade and a spinner, and constitute the driving force that will drive the vehicles they are mounted on. The aircraft propellers form a pushing force forward by rotating at a high speed around the pallet shaft axis and this pushing force allows the flight time to accelerate forward by defeating ground friction and the navigation flight time to stabilize the aircraft at a constant speed by balancing the drag force from the aircraft. Below is a picture of a sample propeller 11
12 Figure: 4 The side section of the propeller blade is made up of specific sections or profiles, and it is closely related to how much torque this propeller will generate or how much torque must be spent to turn the propeller. The pallet profile identifies how much carrying and drag force will be produced, just as the aircraft wing profile does. Therefore, the use of efficient blade profiles increases propeller efficiency and may have positive effects on flight performance. One of the most important factors affecting flight time propeller performance is the angle of rotation of the propeller pillar profiles with the zero-lift line. This angle is called the geometric pitch angle and is one of the most basic components affecting the propeller performance. That is, the combination of the free flow velocity and the propeller rotation speeds of a plane moving at a certain speed determines the final flow velocity seen by the palaeomorphs and determines the transport and drag force to be created along the pala for that case. Therefore, the propeller pans should be designed to operate with the highest efficiency for a special flight regime. The yield on other flight regimes is always lower. In general, aircraft should be designed to optimize the navigation performance of the propeller paddles, as most of their flight times are in the navigation regime. For this, the geometrical pitch angle must be determined and applied to each blade element. Because the geometric pitch angle will vary along the blade, parameters such as the diameter of the blade, the diameter of the spinner, the navigational flight speed, and the propeller rotation speed (RPM) need to be calculated in advance. But first, it is useful to take a closer look at what the geometric pitch is. 12
13 Figure: 5 As the propeller moves within the fluid at a certain speed, the pals rotate about their axes. Because of this, pals movements will be the combination of these two movements, because the pals are both forward linear motion and nominal angular motion around their axes. The geometric pitch or pitch distance at which a propeller blade travels at a certain speed linearly while rotating about its own axis is called a pitch distance. In addition, the angle between the helical path and the plane of rotation, which is observed due to the linear and angular movements of the pellet, is also defined by the β mark, as shown above. Hatchet angle is a very important parameter and it is the main factors directly affecting propeller performance. Because the resultant air velocity and angle of the impeller blade varies along the blade, it has different values at different radial distances. So, if we assume that we know the pitch distance for a given flight regime, we can obtain the pitch angle from the equation below, so we can determine what kind of twist angle distribution our palm will have. Pitch angle: tanβ = P D 2πr ref P D = pitch distance of the propeller 13
14 r ref = reference radius, ussually 75% of the propeller radius R 3.1 Constant and Variable-Pirch Propeller As the propeller is moving in the direction of propulsion, the parts near the hub are seen to have a lower speed component, and while moving away from the hub, they see an increasing speed component towards the barrel tip. The reason for this is that the angular velocity increases towards the end of the rod. Although all blade segments see the same linear velocity, the angular velocity is zero at the bottom of the pala, and reaches its maximum at the pala end. As a result, if the propeller blade has the same pitch angle from the neck, the pitch of the pitch will vary along the pitch and will cause an inefficient carriage distribution Figure: 6 In the case of a propeller shaft with fixed pitch as shown in the left figure above, the determination of the pitch angle is possible with a single equation. In order to design the flywheel element that will maximize the propeller performance in a given flight regime, the formula that will provide a varying pitch angle along the flywheel is given below. tanβ = P 2πr 14
15 The equation presents a simple calculation of the pitch angle of any section of the propeller blade with a constant P error. It is much more complicated to determine the pitch angle in variable pitch pitches. 3.2 Fundamental Relationships of Propeller Rotation Figure: 7 Figure 7 is drawn with a zero linear velocity, that is, a static (static) blade of the propeller rotating about its own rotational axis. Since there is no velocity in the linear direction, the only velocity component in the middle is the product of the angular velocity Ω and the radius r, as can be seen from the figure. However, since the above situation can only be observed on an aircraft standing still, it does not have a very important place in terms of propeller analysis, but it leads us to another one as follows. 15
16 Figure: 8 Propeller rotational speed: V ROT = Ω r Often the propeller designs require input of motor RPM data, ie the number of revolutions per minute of the motor shaft. The conversion of this number of revolutions into angular velocity is also carried out with the following simple relation. Ω = 2π ( RPM 60 ) rad/san Another important issue related to propeller rotation is to determine the plow speed and hence the Mach speed, thereby enabling the determination of other parameters in terms of preventing shock waves on the plow. Since the part with the highest angular velocity is the puncher, the resultant speed at which the end part is seen is at its highest value. Propeller helical tip speed: V tip = V (ΩR prop ) 2 = V (πnd) 2 16
17 V tip = V ( πrpmd 2 ) 60 Tip Mach number: M tip = V tip a 0 = V tip γrt It is useful to note that the flyer parts can also operate at supersonic speeds but cause very high noise. That is why the propellers are often able to see towards the blade ends and have a certain sweep angle. In addition to geometric design, other operations such as reducing the diameter of the propeller, reducing the number of engine revolutions must also be taken into consideration when the propeller blades can operate at subsonic speeds. Raising the speed of the palawast to the supersonic speed also causes other major problems as well as high noise. One of these problems is the reduction in propeller efficiency and the need for higher torque values to rotate the propeller. Because the dragging force, which is increased by the formation of the shock, gives priority to the need for higher torque, torque, which will compensate for this dragging. So, in general, the blade tips are designed to work at subsonic speeds. And for the sound velocity limit, a value of M = 0.6 for wooden propellers and a value of M = for pallets made of aluminum and composite products is taken into consideration. For these reasons, it is necessary to make the necessary calculations in order to make the optimum decision by comparing all the parameters carefully and comparing the levels of the positive and negative effects of these parameters while designing the propeller. 4. Properties and selection of the propeller In this section, some points to be considered when selecting propeller for any aircraft are discussed. additional and therefore the road map we need to take into account in our propeller project. The following points therefore have to be taken into account and evaluated by the propeller designer, and the interaction between the aircraft designer and the propeller designer also sheds a certain amount of light. Prediction of propeller diameter Estimation of propeller pitch angle Targeted performance of the aircraft: take-off and climb performance requirements, targeted cruising speed and altitude have a great effect on the propeller to be selected or designed. There is a great deal of importance in determining the propeller diameter and blade number of engine features such as engine power (BHP), speed (RPM), and torque vibration. The higher the paddle speed, the better, but the end speed has a certain limit. Excessive throttle velocities cause high noise and low fatigue due to shock waves. 17
18 It is anticipated that the speed of the paddle for wooden propellers will be around M = 0.6. For metal and advanced composite propellers, it is expected that the barrel speed will be in the range of M = If the engine speed is too high, the gear reducer gear box must be used. High rotational speeds require fewer propeller blades or smaller blade areas. In engines with high power, when the number of revolutions starts to limit the magnitude of the propeller diameter, the number of motors is increased to convert the motor power to propulsion. Excessive large propeller diameter can cause high pitch speed and high noise, as well as the distance between the ground and the shovel. Probes with more bars may have a lower diameter, but increasing the number of bars means that the weight is also increasing. Rapid Estimation of Required Prop Diameter When choosing a propeller for any aircraft, it is important to determine the propeller diameter at an early stage in an estimated speed because the calculation of the main parameters such as engine speed, propeller strength, propeller speed is calculated over the propeller diameter. The formula provided by Raymer is as follows: Propeller Diameter: 4 D = K p P BHP P BHP : Power produced by an engine that a propeller is attached to K p : the factor is obtained following Table. Table: 2 The Equation and Table 2 above will also be used for the initial stage diameter estimation for the propeller to be designed under this project. Then the final propeller diameter will be 18
19 determined considering other parameters and will be used in the design and analysis phase. It is useful to note that the above diameter determination formula is more based on statistical data and gives an approximate idea for the propeller to be designed. However, in real life propeller design projects, more professional methods are used to examine the designs tested in the CFD and wind turbine environments and the propellers with much more efficient geometry are designed and manufactured. 4.1 Advence ratio Advence rate is an indication of how far a propeller has traveled per unit time in its unit time and is expressed in the following formula. J = V 0 nd = 60V 0 RPM D 4.2 Definition of Power adn Thrust Related Coefficients For the performance evaluation of the propeller, some unitless coefficients are needed. These coefficients are independent of the units and can be used to measure and compare some of the performance values displayed by the propeller. One of these coefficients is the power coefficient and is expressed as follows. Power coefficient: C P = P ρn 3 D 5 = P ρ ( RPM 60 ) 3 D 5 P: Power of engine, kw ρ : density of fluid, kg/m 3 D: propeller diameter Thrust coefficient: T: Thrust by produced propeller, N Torque Coefficient: C T = T ρn 2 D 4 = 3600T ρrpm 2 D 4 C Q = Q ρn 2 D 5 = 3600Q ρrpm 2 D 5 = C P 2π Q: Torque that rotates blades of propeller N.m 19
20 Power-Torque relation: C Q = Q ρn 2 D 5 = C P 2π = P ρn3 D 5 2π P = 2πnQ 4.3 Propeller Effiency Not all of the power generated by a motor turns into propulsion, and it is obvious that a certain amount of power will inevitably be lost due to losses in between. Generally, the losses that occur when the propeller is operating are divided into viscous friction and inviscid losses. But let's define the efficiency of the propeller in order to explain the loss of propeller losses in the current phase. The propeller efficiency can be defined as the total motor-generated gentle ratio of the portion of the motor power that is converted to propulsion power (impulse x freerunning speed). A typical maximum output value is around 0.8 and 0.9. Propeller Effiency: η p = TV P = J C T C P 5. BLADE ELEMENT THEORY The blade Elements Theory BET) is a method that tries to calculate the total thrust generated by the propeller by dividing each palm into a certain number of blade elements. According to this theory, each blade element is perceived as an independent two-dimensional wing profile, and aerodynamic forces acting on this profile are calculated according to local flow properties. After the aerodynamic forces on each cross section have been calculated, all of these forces are gathered from the bottom of the blade to the tip of the blade to find the total thrust force and total torque that the propeller has generated. Propellers are usually thicker at the bottom of the blade, while at the tip of the blade they have thinner blade profiles. The Blade Elements Theory has the capacity to account for such changes, but these differences must also be taken into account when analyzing. One of the most important features of the Blade Elements Theory is that it takes account of the original blade geometry, that is to say the pitch angle, the sweep angles, the profile thicknesses and the profile shapes of the blade element for each impeller. The Blade Elements Theory was first introduced by the Polish scientist Stefan Drzewiecki ( ) and was introduced to the scientific world in 1920 as the theory of the basic elements of the Helicopter General Theory. However, because this simplified theory does not account for the induced velocity component in the propeller flow field, the experimentally 20
21 found impulse was at a lower level than theoretically found results. Therefore, this method has been developed to give more accurate results using Froude moment theory. Precise results of the Blade Elements Theorem can only be achieved if the velocity of the air induced by the propeller is predicted properly because this induced velocity changes the angle of attack seen by the blade element and the air velocity in the propeller flow field is higher than the free flow velocity. One way of modeling this effect is by calculating the momentum theory of the velocity of the induced air in the propeller flow field. Among the advantages of the Blade Elements Theorem, we can count factors such as the participation of the blade geometry into account, the change of the profile length, the angle of attack and the change of aerodynamic properties. This theory makes it possible for the torque calculator to be made and therefore the motor power to be predicted to generate this torque. The Blade Elements Theory is one of the most popular theories used in propeller design because it allows modeling of nonlinear, important factors such as the standard curvature curve. Among the limitations of the Blade Elements Theorem, we can list the following factors; the assumption that the flow in the propeller flow field has uniform distribution and the assumption that the aerodynamic forces on the bar profile are two-dimensional and that the longitudinal flow along the bar is neglected is assumed to be a rigid body and the aeroelastic effects are neglected, some corrections need to be made so that the flow at the end of the bar is correctly modeled. 5.1 Formulation Figure: 9 21

We can calculate the differential thrust, torque and power components from this path. Since the force is defined as x speed, we can obtain the power by multiplying the angular velocity by the force dfq on each element. Differential thrust: dt = dlcos(ɸ + α i ) ddsin(ɸ + α i ) Differential torque: dq = rdf Q = r[dlsin(ɸ + α i ) + ddcos(ɸ + α i )] Differential power: dp = ΩrdF Q = Ωr[dLsin(ɸ + α i ) + ddcos(ɸ + α i )] The thrust force produced by a blade, the torque it consumes and the power parameters can be calculated by integrating the above differential thrust, torque and power values along the stroke. Naturally, the greater the number of elements on the bar, the greater the precision of the integration process. We also find the total thrust and torque values produced by the propeller, even if the impulse and torque they produce and consume, respectively, are not equal to the number of claws. Due to; Thrust: T = N B R R R dt = N B dlcos(ɸ + α i ) N B ddsin(ɸ + α i ) R hub R hub R hub 23

However, in today's engineering problems, numerical methods are used with the help of advanced computer technologies instead, and very precise solutions can be produced. For the propeller calculations to be designed in this project, Blade Elements Method will be used and also numerical solutions will be applied for this method. R hub 24
