DGEN Aeropropulsion Research Turbofan (DART) Core/Combustor-Noise Infinite-Tube-Probe (ITP) Transfer Function

Abstract: Direct measurements of turbofan engine core unsteady pressure is complicated by the extreme thermal environment within the engine, preventing currently available transducers from operating. It is necessary to use a remote measurement configuration such as an infinite-tube-probe (ITP) configuration in which the transducer is teed into a line pneumatically coupled with the location of interest and the other end of the ITP contains an “infinite” waveguide designed to prevent any reflections. Thi…
