How does a PT6 engine work?
There are three parts to the PT6 engine. First is the compressor section. It's like any other turbine engine. Next is the "free power turbine." You have seen the little pinwheels kids like--you blow on them and they spin. Well, this is a pinwheel for grown-ups: there's a fan on the end of the compressor section's shaft. It blows air against a second turbine that's attached to the next section, which is the gearbox. When the second turbine spins... the gears and shafts in the gearbox turn and make the engine's propeller rotate. The PT6 is an unusual engine in that it's "in backwards"--the intake end of the engine, which in most engines points toward the nose of the plane, points toward the tail on a plane with a PT6 in it. PT6 engines are very versatile and have been used for a lot of things. Someone even tried running a locomotive on one--it worked fine but railroad mechanics would need to be retrained to work on jet engines, so the experiment never got past the trial stage.
What is FADEC system of gas turbine engine?
fadec is the main controller of gas turbine engine like fuel supply etc and also fadec senses every action and of A/c. - - - - - FADEC means "full authority digital engine control." A FADEC takes total control of the engine, not allowing the pilot to do anything but tell the FADEC to make the engine go faster or slower. Now here's the problem: when all the sensors feeding data to the FADEC are working properly, this is a great system but if one or more sensors feeds bad data to the FADEC, the system is more than happy to put the engines in a mode that will cause the plane to fly straight into the ground...which has happened on Airbuses. It is possible to get a plane that doesn't have a FADEC system, but they're getting rarer.
What are the types of crankshaft?
2 types of crank shaft are there 1.same plane 2.cross plane crank shaft in cross plane crank shaft cranks are inclined at 90 degree and in same plane crank shaft cranks are in same plane. thnk u
What is Gyroscopic effect on aeroplane?
Gyroscope (mechanism) is used to determine the effect of a turn taken by an aeroplane. In a short let me describe them, 1. If the rotation of a propeller/ rotor is in CLOCKWISE when viewed from REAR/ BACK SIDE and the aeroplane takes a LEFT TURN, then reactive gyroscopic couple (which is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of active gyroscopic couple) will tend to RAISE THE NOSE and DIP THE TAIL. 2. If the above similar conditions are considered when the plane is taking a RIGHT TURN, then the reactive gyroscopic couple will tend to RAISE THE TAIL & DIP THE NOSE. 3. If the rotation of a propeller is in ANTI-CLOCKWISE DIRECTION when viewed from REAR of the aeroplane and the plane takes a LEFT TURN, the reactive gyroscopic couple tend to RAISE THE TAIL & DIP THE NOSE. 4. If we consider the similar conditions of (3), and a plane takes a RIGHT TURN, then the reactive gyroscopic couple tends to RAISE THE NOSE & DIP THE TAIL. To remember it easily, you can use RIGHT HAND SCREW RULE.
What is meridional plane in a centrifugal compressor?
If we consider the longitudinal cross section of the single stage of CFC disc, then the plane containing the impeller blade section with hub & shroud is known as the Meridional Plane.
What kind of motor does a propeller driven plane use?
The propeller plane could have a piston engine or engines, or a turbine engine or engines, the latter being a distinction that makes the craft a turbo-prop.
How do you pressurize an aircraft?
There's an engine-driven compressor. On a turbine engine they pull bleed air off one of the turbine sections; on a piston engine plane it's an accessory to the engine. (Having said that, very few piston planes have pressurized cabins--they don't go high enough to need them.)
How does the blades on a wind turbine contribute to the energy change?
wind pushes on the blades of the wind turbine which pass on this motion to the generator to produce electricity. The energy and the speed of a wind turbine depend on the blade pitch control which depends on the angel of the blade chord to the plane of rotation. The blade pitch determines the speed of the turbine which also depends on the wind speed. Energy is directly proportional to the speed of the turbine. Therefore, the energy produced by a turbine depends on both the wind speed and the blade pitch angle. By: Amin Elsersawi
How speed of compressors of aircraft engine is measured?
In "percent of maximum." A turbine engine's compressor shaft rotates at a very high speed - 20,000 to 30,000 rpm. Let's say your engines run at 25,000 rpm. Pilots don't want to have to do math if they want to slow the engine from 100 percent to 75 percent, they just want to slow the plane down...so the tach is marked in percentage of maximum rotation speed.
What plane of body motion is trunk rotation exercise?
transverse plane
Forearm supination plane of motion?
Forearm rotation would be on the frontal plane
What is the function of polarimeter?
what is rotation of plane of polarization.
What is difference between optical rotation and specific optical rotation?
Optical rotation is the turning plane of linearly polarized light as it travels through certain materials. Specific rotation is the property of a chemical compound as the change in orientation of a plane of light.
What degree clockwise rotation goes from xy to -xy?
180 degrees in the plane perpendicular to the xy plane. In general, no rotation in the (x, y) plane will take it to (-x, y) unless x = y (or -y) and, in that case it is a 270 degree clockwise rotation.
What is a small single engine plane?
a small engine plane is a plane that is small
How do you find the angle of rotation?
Measure the angle in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation, between the position of a fixed point at the start and end of the rotation.
Does a square have a plane of symmetry?
No. A square is a plane figure and conventionally for plane figures symmetry is considered in terms of rotation about a point or an axis (in the plane of the figure) but not a plane outside the plane of the square.
