Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of Aero Engines : Environmental Performance-Based Methodology

• A methodology and tool that allows evaluating and quantifying aero engines design trade-offs originated as a consequence of addressing conflicting objectives such as low environmental impact and low operating costs is presented, and applied to a general case study to assess the feasibility of using new highly efficient engine configurations: intercooled- recuperated (ICR) engines. The case study results show that according to the ICR systems performance (heat exchangers effectiveness, pressure losses, and weight penalty) they could find usage in practical applications.
