A complete gas-turbine power system to consist of an engine designed and manufactured for engineering education. Engine must utilize a centrifugal flow compressor, reverse flow annular combustor and an axial flow turbine stage. Engine to be of current manufacture and consisting of all new components. All engine components either vacuum investment cast or precision CNC machined. All high-heat components manufactured from 17-4 ph stainless steel, Inconel� 718 or CMR 247 Super Alloy. Traceable and verifiable material to be used throughout engine. All elements comprising the system to be contained in a rigid steel chassis mounted on rolling castors. All system metal surfaces to be stainless steel, anodized or powder coated to promote durability and wear resistance. Complete system not to require any permanent facility modifications or additions, self-contained. Engine situated behind transparent protective shields allowing clear view during operation. Operator capable of manual control throughout entire range of operation. Operator panel to consist of digital TIT, EGT, and RPM indicators, analog oil pressure, engine pressure ratio, fuel pressure and air pressure gauges, keyed master, green start, red stop and T-handled power control lever. System to be equipped with calibrated transducers and thermocouples capable of measuring compressor inlet, compressor exit, turbine stage inlet, turbine stage exit and thrust nozzle exit temperature and pressures, fuel flow, thrust and engine compressor / turbine rotational speed. Engine thrust to be measured by a load cell permitting direct indication of thrust value. To be supplied with a USB based digital data LabView acquisition system complete with computer and user configurable LabView data acquisition software capable of measuring and recording analog, digital and frequency signals.
