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.
How aircraft engine function?
with jet propulsion, Air is taken in at the front, than compressed by an compressor. Fuel is added tot the air and ignites. This drives the temperature higher, making the air expand and increase the pressure. After that a turbine takes some of the energy of the flow, decreasing the temperature and pressure and converts the energy into work. the work than is used to power the compressor. The exhaust provides a thrust for the airplane. with a propeller, an engine drives a propeller which provides thrust for the airplane
What is stall in axial flow compressor?
This type of compressor moves air by the use of rotating airfoils countered against static (nonmoving) airfoils. All airfoils are designed to move air "downward", or rearward in a jet engine. Since the purpose of a compressor is to compress, conditions can sometimes develop where the airfoils try to compress more than their design. Air begins to try to flow backwards to relieve the excess pressure. This backpressure is the same as an airplane wing increasing it's angle of attack (say by flying too slowly). The airfoil can't move enough air to maintain the pressure and the result is a stalled airfoil. Modern jet engines will bleed air out the middle or back of such a compressor to prevent such stalls. Early jet engines had no such protections. A stalled compressor is actually easier to turn. This relieves the load on the turbine powering the whole thing and the engine overspeeds. The pilot sees a surge in the engine. If it overspeeds enough, catastrophic damage may occur to the turbine (it explodes). The compressor bleed lines help prevent such failure.
What is a jet engines dimensions?
It is the height, width and length of a jet engine.
What does a jet engine sound like?
sssssssssSCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOoooooommmm
What is sucked into the front of a compressor in a jet engine?
The large opening of the compressor sucks in air to be compressed and burnt in the engine.
What is sucked into the front of a compressor of a jet engine?
The large opening of the compressor sucks in air to be compressed and burnt in the engine.
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.
What is suck in front of a compressor in a jet engine?
The large opening of the compressor sucks in air to be compressed and burnt in the engine.
What is sucked into the front of a jet engine?
Preferably, only huge amounts of air. But the airflow is so great, that ground crew that has strayed too close has been sucked up.
What is jet engine engine pressure ratio?
The pressure ratio in jet engines is the ratio of pressure between the entrance of the compressor and the exit of the compressor.
What would happen if you got sucked into a jet engine?
If you got sucked into a jet engine nothing will remain of you. You will be shredded to pieces that are smaller than fingernails. It would be the worst thing.
What is the process of jet enjine?
Jet engines work by igniting a fuel-air mixture to produce a force. First, air is sucked into the front of the engine and pressure is built in the compressor, a device made up of many tiny fan blades. After the compressor, the air is mixed with fuel. This mixture is ignited and the gases are forced out of the back of the engine. The action of the moving gas produces and equal reaction in the opposite direction, propelling the engine (and the airplane) forward (Newton's third law).
What is the hot section of a jet engine the compressor or the turbine?
the hottest point of the jet engine is the combustion chamber
What do you mean by jet engine?
a propeller is a prop, like a little fan in the front, a jet mixes the oxygen and gasses and is configured differently, like a cone and the air is sucked into it and it is much faster and more efficient and hotter.
What are the types of stator?
the types of statore are compressor, gas turbine, turboprop, and jet engine
The condition that rapidly reduces the efficiency of a centrifugal jet engine compressor would be?
Pressure pulsations
