The process of engine design and development is very complex since it comprises various disciplines with their own sub-processes. In addition, the requirements the new generation of engines has to meet become more and more ambitious, which calls for the employment of new technologies. But this involves a very high risk with regard to fulfilling specification requirements, and also with regard to adherence to budgets as well as time frames. In this paper, an approach of risk monitoring during the engine design and development phase is presented. The approach uses Monte-Carlo simulations, which are based on an engine performance synthesis model. For the purpose, a helicopter engine is used as an example for demonstration of the method.

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) performed at low (≤ 5 kV) accelerating voltages in the SEM has the potential for providing quantitative microanalytical information with a spatial resolution of ∼100 nm. In the present work, EDS analyses were performed on magnesium ferrite spinel [(MgxFe1−x)Fe2O4] dendrites embedded in a MgO matrix, as shown in Fig. 1. spatial resolution of X-ray microanalysis at conventional accelerating voltages is insufficient for the quantitative analysis of these dendrites, which have widths of the order of a few hundred nanometers, without deconvolution of contributions from the MgO matrix. However, Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the interaction volume for MgFe2O4 is ∼150 nm at 3 kV accelerating voltage and therefore sufficient to analyze the dendrites without matrix contributions.Single-crystal {001}-oriented MgO was reacted with hematite (Fe2O3) powder for 6 h at 1450°C in air and furnace cooled. The specimen was then cleaved to expose a clean cross-section suitable for microanalysis.
