The new components will replace and upgrade existing components of the High Flow Jet Exit Rig (HFJER) housed within the Aeroacoustic Propulsion Laboratory (AAPL) at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) in Cleveland, Ohio. The new components are intended to increase existing temperature and pressure capabilities of the rig, as well as allow new modes of operation and testing. Acronyms and definitions: DFJER - Dual Flow Jet Exit Rig (High Flow Jet Exit Rig in dual flow configuration) HBPR ? High Bypass Ratio NATR ? Nozzle Acoustic Test Rig (53? freejet duct wind tunnel facility that surrounds the High Flow Jet Exit Rig and provides in-flight simulation airflow) Drawing References: ? 75105M77B000 ?

Core Charging Station Scope of Work: Provide engineering, drafting, and fabrication services necessary to design and deliver hardware components specified below. Work entails redesign of existing rig hardware components to meet max core flow operating conditions of 200 psig at 1400 deg. F. and max bypass flow operating conditions of 200 psig at 250 deg F. Components must also be capable of operating any combination of core/bypass conditions specified in table 1. General stress-level component Safety Factor shall be 3 based on material yield strength, or 5 based on material ultimate strength. New hardware must exhibit exceptionally low flow noise and must seamlessly interface with existing HFJER components. General component geometry shall be configured to prevent flow separation, minimize flow recirculation, and promote uniform flow profiles throughout the rig. Successful completion of this work requires knowledge of specific techniques and methods associated with design and fabrication of low-noise/low-drag aeronautical (wind tunnel) test hardware. Knowledge of wind tunnel test techniques and instrumentation requirements is also necessary. NOTE: See attached HFJER Operational Requirements chart and Conceptual Component Assembly Drawing REQUIREMENTS: Overview: Work entails design and fabrication of 7 separate components/assemblies as outlined below. See Figure 1 for view of existing component assembly. See Table 1. for summary of operating conditions. All parts must be able to withstand operation at any combination of core/bypass conditions specified in table 1. as well as the maximum operating conditions outlined scope above. General stress-level Safety factor shall be 3 based on material yield strength or 5 based on material ultimate strength. The seven component parts are: 1. Core Adapter (28529M42A014 upgrade) 2. Core Insulation Liner (28529M42A015 upgrade) 3. New Core charging Station (CE-645708 legacy replacement/upgrade) 4. Seal Retainer and metal seals (between core adapter and Core/Fan Duct Assy) 5. Fan Duct Strut Assembly (CE-645706 upgrade) 6. Core Strut Assembly (CE-645686 upgrade) 7. Core Charging Station (CE-645708 comprehensive upgrade) Core Adapter (28529M42A014 replacement). Component shall feature geometry compatible with 28529M42A014 except with modifications/materials as required to meet stress safety factors. Design and fabrication shall incorporate features to prevent distortion resulting from thermal expansion (interference), residual stress, or uneven heating/cooling. Core Liner (28529M42A015 replacement). Component shall feature geometry compatible with 28529M42A015 except with modifications/materials as required to meet stress safety factors. Design shall incorporate features to prevent thermal distortion resulting from thermal expansion (interference), residual stress, or uneven heating/cooling. Core Charging Station (CE-645708 legacy replacement/upgrade). Component shall feature geometry compatible with CE-645708 except with modifications/materials as required to maximize stress safety factors and minimize thermal distortion to the maximum extent possible. Component must be compatible with existing instrumentation (rakes) although new instrumentation covers should be fabricated specifically for the new component. This component must be compatible with existing test nozzles and may be de-rated for lower operating conditions as required to accommodate existing test hardware interface geometry that is unsuitable for high pressure applications. Seal Retainer and metal seals. Provide metal seals between core adapter and Core/Fan Duct Assembly as required to prevent mixing of the core and bypass flow streams through any possible combination of core and bypass conditions over the following respective ranges: Core stream: 0 ? 200 psig at temperatures ranging between 70 ? 1400 deg. F. Bypass Stream: 0 ? 200 psig at temperatures ranging between 70 ? 250 deg. F. Fan Duct Strut Assembly (CE-645706 replacement) & Core Strut Assembly (CE-645686 replacement). Components shall reproduce existing flow lines to the maximum practical extent while meeting new operating condition and Safety Factor requirements. Core charging Station (CE-645708 upgrade). Component shall feature low noise geometry and reproduce existing flow lines to the maximum practical extent while meeting new operating condition and Safety Factor requirements. Component must be compatible with existing instrumentation (rakes) although new instrumentation covers should be fabricated specifically for the new component. The hardware interface scheme may be upgraded to accommodate high pressure applications. REVIEWS: A 90 percent design review shall be accomplished for each component.
