Best Answer

Numerous problems can cause a hot start on a turbine engine. Erosion of the turbine blades from exposure to the heat of combustion decreases the efficiency of the compressor/turbine combination to move air through the engine. Lack of the proper level starting power, either electricity or compressed air, will not spin the engine at the proper rate, again resulting in lower than needed airflow through the engine. A malfunctioning or out of rig fuel control can schedule the wrong amount of fuel relative to engine parameters. Also, the engine may be operating normally but a damaged thermocouple installation could be giving erroneous temperature indications. On an engine that has an EEC, ECU or FADEC it may be a problem with the computer or one of the parameters that it monitors.

This is a fairly thick section in an aircraft troubleshooting guide as the engines have become so complex.

Why is there a whistling sound in the twin turbo diesel engine of a 2011 land cruiser?

The whistling sound is the turbochargers at work.. The turbines inside the turbos creates the whistling sound as the exhaust gasses pass by each blade of the hot turbine and the cold turbine blades drive air into the engine.

How you convert heat energy into mechanical energy?

Heat causes 'things' to expand. If this is an expanding gas in an engine, the gas pushes on a piston (usually) causing the piston to move down. Thru varoius mechanical devices, crankshaft, transmission, torque converter, differential, axle, wheels, this causes the car to move. In a steam turbine, much of the piston, crankshaft, etc are replaced by turbine blades. Hot gases enter the turbine and push on the blades causing a spinning motion. Rockets work on the action/ reaction principle of Newton's laws of motion. Burning fuel expands a hugh amount. The exhaust is allowed only one excape, thru the rear of the engine. The reaction to this pushes the engine forward.
