CASE STUDY

When Hand Calculations Couldn't Scale, Arrow Solved a 92-Junction Gas Turbine Fuel Model in a Fraction of the Time.

 EGT spread is a turbine life killer. Fern Engineering used Datacor Arrow to model the exact fuel flow variations causing it, validated predictions against real test data, and delivered results a hand calculation never could. 

The fuel supply manifold of a Rolls Royce Avon gas turbine involves dozens of fittings, bends, orifices, and tolerance variations across every nozzle branch. Prior to Datacor Arrow, analyses like this were done by hand. Large-scale models were, as Fern's president put it, simply impossible.

So they benchmarked Arrow's sonic choking predictions against real test data first. The results matched to within 2%. Then they built the full model.
