What type of fuel does a turboprop engine use?

What type of planes use turboprop and turbo fans?

Propeller airliners use Turboprops. Jets use turbofans and turbojets.

What type of fuel does an 1998 ford F 250 use?

87 octane regular if it is a gasoline engine. Diesel fuel if it has a diesel engine.

Why do turboprop engines use extra turbine stages to extract more energy from combustion gases?

Fuel efficiency. If you can extract, say, 200 horsepower from a certain amount of fuel with one wheel, and 400 horsepower from the same fuel with two wheels, you'd be stupid to not put the second wheel in the engine.

What type of gas to put in a Mercedes Benz e320?

If the engine is a diesel use diesel fuel. If the engine is a gasoline engine use unleaded gasoline.

What is the definition of turboprop engine cycle?

A turboprop engine is similar to a jet engine in that both use post-combustion gasses to drive a turbine that operates the compressor used to compress the intake (pre-combustion) gas (air) before it reaches the combustion chamber where it is mixed with fuel and is then burned. The difference is that a jet engine uses a very small turbine device sufficient to run only the compressor. The remainder of the greatly expanded gasses eject as a high thrust exhaust that forces the airplane forward. The turboprop engine, on the other hand, uses a much larger turbine that not only runs the compressor, but also turns a propeller which pulls the airplane forward.

What type of engine is used in a bike?

Most bikes use a type of engine called a "internal combustion engine," which burns fuel to create power for the bike to move.

What is multi fuel ignition system in new petrol engine give answer in detail?

In such type of engine we can use both type of fuel (petrol and disel). And/or some other fuels like lpg, cng.

Can we use fuel injector in petrol engine?

Yes, you can use a fuel injector in a petrol engine.

What does a turboprop do?

Answer:The combination of the words turbine and propeller in techno jargon will give you the word "turboprop". A turboprop engine is a turbojet (gas turbine) engine, which powers the propeller/s. A conventional jet engine produces its thrust in large part due to the heated gasses escaping out the rear of the engine. While this is very useful for aircraft which fly at high speeds and high altitudes, it is less desirable for aircraft which are designed to fly at slower speeds and take off from smaller runways.A turboprop engine is a jet engine which converts the bulk of its thrust into rotational energy for powering a propeller. This allows jet engines, which are a high-rpm low-torque engine to be used in situations where low-rpm and high-torque are needed instead.The higher reliability and efficiency of a jet or turboprop engine as compared to an internal combustion engine makes them very desirable for aircraft designs which, in the past, would have utilized internal combustion engines.Answer 2A turboprop is a jet engine with a propellor attached - a jet engine is a turbine (fan) that compresses a large volume of air for combustion in a chamber as a opposed to a piston - a turbo charger on steroids - the propellor is attached to the central shaft of the fan blades - the two exhaust tubes on either side of the front of the turboprop are for the jet exhaust and it actually can add to the speed of the aircraft - the jet engine is usually backwards on a turboprop, the air intake under the engine is sent to the back which is really the front of the jet turbine, compressed by the fan blades (which drive the propellor) then sent to the combustion chamber where it is mixed with fuel and ignited - then exits through the exhaust tubes which bend to point backwards adding to the total thrust of the engine Often the word turboprop is confused with turbo charged which is a regular piston engine that uses a turbo charger (air compressor) - the P-38 lightning twin boom fighter of WW2 is a great example of a turbocharged engine and once you hear the sound the turbo chargers make you never forget itTurbo prop engines address a need for a compromise between propellor and jet engines - propellors are efficient at slow speeds to about 350 mph (meaning the amount of fuel used for speed and range) and dont have as much power as a jet - jets are effecient from about 300mph up and are more powerful than a piston engine but use more fuel - a turbo prop has nearly the power of a jet without as much fuel use and fills the gap for a mid range speed of about 200 to 400 mph - rarely see turboprops on low speed aircraft because of the extra fuel use with exception of some STOL bush style aircraft like the cessna caravan and the new quest kodiak that need the extra power for short/rough field useAlso turbo props can reverse thrust like a jet engine but do so usually by changing the angle of the propellor blades - another big advantage over piston engines for short runways - also turboprops use jet fuel since they are jet engines so they are being used more frequently in countries outside USA where avgas is becoming hard to find (not much general aviation aircraft but lots of jet airliners in many countries)A big advantage to using turboprops is how long they can be flown before a complete overhaul - the time can vary a lot by engine but an average time for a piston engine is about 1800 to 2000 hours and a turbo prop about 3000 to 3600 hours - so you can fly a turboprop a whole lot longer between major overhauls.

What type of fuel does a 1977 trans am use?

Unleaded...if it's a stock engine you can run 87 octane.

Which type of fuel makes a cardboard airplane work?

use ethyl alcohol or better use a battery powered small engine..

Do helicopters use jet fuel?

The type of fuel is specific to the type of engine, not the aircraft. Helicopters that have jet engines use jet fuel, and helicopters that have internal combustion engines use gasoline. However the General Electric T-58 had a device in the fuel control that allowed you to burn just about anything from avgas to jet fuel to kerosene.
