Abstract: An engine model calibration system includes a gas turbine engine, a sensor, a nominal engine estimation module for FD&I, and a self-tuning engine estimation module for engine parameter estimation. The nominal engine estimation module includes an open-loop nominal engine model configured to output estimated nominal engine parameters indicative of the one or more engine operating parameters, and selectively updates the open-loop nominal engine model based on one or more identified engine operating conditions. The engine model calibration system can perform calibration of a nominal engine model and a self-tuning engine model as they are used for FD&I and engine parameter estimation. The self-calibrating dynamic model also can separate the long-term tuning parameters and the short-term tuning parameters from one another so that the self-tuning capability for the self-tuning engine model is not compromised or diminished as the engine deteriorates.

Abstract: A method to effectively utilize an oil debris monitor to provide advanced warning to mechanical system failures in a high noise system by adapting detection and annunciation algorithms to the background noise in a system that includes collecting I and Q channel data from a sensor; processing the I and Q channel data to both calculate a noise based (RMS adjusted) detection threshold and to identify a ferrous and nonferrous signal; processing the ferrous and nonferrous signals to determine signal peaks above the RMS adjusted detection threshold; adjusting a detection threshold if more signal peaks observed than allowable particles in a given time window; transmitting the detection threshold previously determined to particle detection, rate limit adjustment, detectability algorithms, and estimated mass loss accumulation.

Abstract: A propulsion system for an aircraft is disclosed and includes a water recovery system and a water monitoring system. The water recover system includes a condenser that is arranged along the core flow path and is configured to extract water from an exhaust gas flow. The water monitoring system includes a sensor and a controller programed to determine a condition of water and generate a prompt based on information communicated from the at least one sensor.

Abstract: A method for fault identification for a gas turbine engine includes receiving sensor data from at least one health monitoring sensor of a health monitoring system for a gas turbine engine; utilizing a pre-filter to filter the sensor data and obtain filtered data based on a plurality of signatures of fault conditions of the health monitoring system and the gas turbine engine; utilizing at least one transfer function to extract features from the filtered sensor data based on the plurality of signatures; utilizing a machine learning technique to analyze the extracted features, and determine whether any of the extracted features are indicative of a fault condition in the health monitoring system or the gas turbine engine; and based on the analysis indicating the presence of a fault condition, providing a fault detection notification. A health monitoring system for a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
