What is an air turborocket?
An air turborocket is a jet engine in which a gas generator drives the turbine which drives the inlet compressor.
What kind of engine is a jet engine?
Gas Turbine.
How a jet engine on a jet plane works?
A jet engine works basically the same as any engine. It compresses air, then injects fuel and ignites it with the result that the fuel/air burns and expands which produces work. Air is brought in the engine and turning blades compress the air and pushes it further back. When it gets to the combustion chamber, fuel is injected and the gas is ignited. The fuel/air burns and expands and flows faster out the back. As it does, it turns the turbine blades which are connected by a shaft to the front blades and keeps the engine turning.
Is a jet a kind of rocket?
Jet engines and rockets are different means of propulsion. A jet engine takes in air, compresses it and mixes it with vaporized fuel. The air fuel mixture is ignited and produces thrust out the rear of the engine. A rocket uses fuel wich is burned and produces thrust with no air intake. Rocket fuels can be solid, liquid or compressed gas.
What is sucked into the front compressor in a jet engine?
Air. Air and heat are the basis of the jet. The reason for this is that in the combustion chamber compressed air is ignited. The air flow pushes this reaction out the back of the engine and this= thrust.
Why did they change the name of the gas turbine to the jet engine?
They use both terms. A turbine engine that's being used in an aircraft is a "jet engine," and a turbine engine that's being used in a ground-based application is a "gas turbine." Sometimes it's the same engine--the Lycoming engine used in the CH-47 as a "jet engine" is also used in the M-1 tank as a "gas turbine."
The function of a gas turbine compressor?
The compressor on a gas turbine and other jet engine types takes the air around us at normal pressures, and compresses it to much higher pressures and temperatures. Like the compression stroke on a internal combustion engine, the incoming air needs to be at extreeme pressures for the engine to be efficient.
What is a jet engine jet pipe?
Air intake and exhaust. Air comes into the intake located at the front of the aircraft and exits at the rear of the aircraft. This is such a load of crap! A jet pipe is located at the back of an engine, just after the exhaust! It is connected with a gas tight sealing ring and just before the propelling nozzle. And pipes the exhaust gasses out of the fuselage/Wing... A/C engineer.
What fuel is used in a turbo jet engine?
av gas; i.e. aviation gasoline. Jet fuel.
How does jet fuel help work in a jet engine?
Air is sucked into the engine using giant fans called axial compressors (compressors for short), which compress the air into a very dense structure. The air is then mixed with jet fuel which creates a very potent flammable mixture which is then lit. After the fuel and air is lit, there is a constant controlled explosion where the air and fuel turns into gas and expands extremely fast and is forced out the back of the jet. Without the fuel, the air would not ignite. Jet fuel is different from gasoline used in passenger cars and has more in common with diesel fuel in which both diesel and jet fuel are designed to have high flash points and allows for high compression.
What does RAM stand for in jet engine?
Rapid air movement
What is air which comes out from the nozzle of jet engine called?
exhaust
