2. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

   Cooling air for the turbine vanes undergoes a similar process. Cooling the leading edge of the blade can be difficult, because the pressure of the cooling air just inside the cooling hole may not be much different from that of the oncoming gas stream. One solution is to incorporate a cover plate on the disc.

3. Swan neck duct - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_neck_duct

   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.

   The waterbox is usually provided with man holes on hinged covers to allow inspection and cleaning. These waterboxes on inlet side will also have flanged connections for cooling water inlet butterfly valves, small vent pipe with hand valve for air venting at higher level, and hand-operated drain valve at bottom to drain the waterbox for ...

5. Gas turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine

   The basic operation of the gas turbine is a Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid: atmospheric air flows through the compressor that brings it to higher pressure; energy is then added by spraying fuel into the air and igniting it so that the combustion generates a high-temperature flow; this high-temperature pressurized gas enters a ...

6. Environmental control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_control_system

   On jetliners, air is supplied to the ECS by being bled from a compressor stage of each gas turbine engine, upstream of the combustor. The temperature and pressure of this bleed air varies according to which compressor stage is used, and the power setting of the engine. A manifold pressure regulating shut-off valve (MPRSOV) restricts the flow as ...
