Abstract: Based on a certain type of aircraft fuel system design for the prototype, and characterized by the self supplied fuel network, the mathematical models of the main components were built. Using the modular structure method, the Simulink/Matlab was adopted for building the simulation modules of various components and forming the whole simulation system. According to the simulation calculation, the flow, pressure and temperature for each node of the fuel system were obtained, and the effects of several parameters of heat exchangers on its exergy losses were analyzed. The present study provides a new method and idea for the modeling and simulation of a whole aircraft fuel system, as well as has some effect on the analyzing the exergy of the fuel system.

Key words: aircraft fuel system, mathematical modeling, simulink simulation, exergy analysis
