Study Notes

Engine Pressure Ratio

Definition: Engine pressure ratio (EPR) measures the ratio of total pressure at a specific point in the engine relative to another point.
Key Locations:
- Aft end of the compressor: Refers to the rear section of the engine's compressor where compressed air exits.
- Aft end of the turbine: Refers to the rear section of the turbine where exhaust gases exit after passing through the turbine.
Important Ratio Measurements:
- Pressure ratio can be calculated by comparing:
  - Total pressure at the aft end of the compressor with the total pressure at the aft end of the turbine.
  - Total pressure at the front of the compressor (engine inlet) and the total pressure at the rear end of the turbine.
Interpretation:
- A higher engine pressure ratio indicates better engine efficiency and performance.
- Understanding EPR is crucial for assessing engine health and operational efficiency.
