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 ...
English: Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine (in English). Air is compressed by the fan 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 fan blades.
The black-line diagram represent a jet engine cycle with maximum pressure p2 and temperature T3. When component inefficiencies are incorporated for a real engine the blue-lined area is the result which shows that entropy is increased in each process, including the combustion pressure loss from p3 tp p3', by the loss-making characteristics of ...
English: A diagram showing the airflow through the nacelle of the SR71 Blackbird as the speed increases from zero to Mach 3.2. This image is based on Figure 1.21 from the SR-71 Flight Manual. Русский: Схема движения воздушных потоков в мотогондоле самолёта Lockheed SR-71 при ...
A swan neck duct is a jet engine component, usually situated within the compression or turbine expansion system. [1] Many jet engines have a short annular passageway, linking two components, where there is a large change in mean radius, from front to rear. The shape of the resulting passageway is often similar to that of a swan or goose neck.
A jet engine is a type of reaction engine, discharging a fast-moving jet of heated gas (usually air) that generates thrust by jet propulsion. While this broad definition may include rocket , water jet , and hybrid propulsion, the term jet engine typically refers to an internal combustion air-breathing jet engine such as a turbojet , turbofan ...
The very first jet engines used centrifugal compressors and they are still used on small turbojets and turbo shaft engines. The key component that makes a compressor centrifugal is the centrifugal impeller which contains a rotating set of blades. In a centrifugal compressor the airflow goes perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
A splitter plate is a component in some jet aircraft, used to control the airflow into the engine. Where the engine air intake is mounted partway back along the fuselage or under the wing, the splitter plate diverts the boundary layer away from the engine intake. It is a form of boundary layer control.
