  2. Compressor stall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_stall

    Axi-symmetric stall, more commonly known as compressor surge; or pressure surge, is a complete breakdown in compression resulting in a reversal of flow and the violent expulsion of previously compressed air out through the engine intake, due to the compressor's inability to continue working against the already-compressed air behind it.

  3. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    The first production engine with a variable compression ratio was introduced in 2019. Variable compression ratio is a technology to adjust the compression ratio of an internal combustion engine while the engine is in operation. This is done to increase fuel efficiency while under varying loads. Variable compression engines allow the volume ...

  4. Overall pressure ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overall_pressure_ratio

    Compression ratio is a ratio of volumes. In the case of the Otto cycle reciprocating engine, the maximum expansion of the charge is limited by the mechanical movement of the pistons (or rotor), and so the compression can be measured by simply comparing the volume of the cylinder with the piston at the top and bottom of its motion. The same is ...

    The largest engine that is normally fitted to the Thorp T-18 homebuilt aircraft is the 200 hp IO-360 engine. IO-360-A1A 200 hp (149 kW) at 2700 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 100 or 100LL avgas, compression ratio 8.70:1.

  6. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the compressor blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which drive the compressor blades. 1. Intake 2. Low pressure compression 3. High pressure compression ...

  7. Walter Mikron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Mikron

    With a displacement of 2.44 L (148.90 cu in), compression ratio 6:1, it produces 48.5 kW (65.0 hp) at 2,600 rpm. [3] Introduced in 1945, 103 engines made between 1948-1950. The engines were used on Praga E-114 Air Baby. Mikron IIIS. In 1980s company Aerotechnik in Moravska Trebova had collected 56(!) engines of the post war production.

  8. Blade off testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_off_testing

    The tests require engine manufacturers to carry out at least two tests of the engine, to make sure that the engine can survive a compressor or fan blade breaking off within the engine and a turbine blade breaking off within the engine, without fragments being thrown through the outside enclosure of the engine, creating a contained engine failure.

  9. Bleed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_air

    Bleed air in aerospace engineering is compressed air taken from the compressor stage of a gas turbine, upstream of its fuel-burning sections.Automatic air supply and cabin pressure controller (ASCPC) valves bleed air from low or high stage engine compressor sections; low stage air is used during high power setting operation, and high stage air is used during descent and other low power setting ...
