  2. Gas turbine engine compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine_engine_compressors

    Air is pushed toward the center and this radial movement of air results in a pressure rise and the generation of kinetic energy. Then the air passes through another key component of centrifugal compressor called diffuser section which responsibility is to convert the kinetic energy of the air into pressure rise by gradually slowing the air ...

  3. Air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

    Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

    These effects are caused by the sluggish response of the spool (i.e. inertia effects) to rapid changes in engine fuel flow. Compressor surge is a particular problem during slam-accelerations and can be overcome by suitable adjustments to the fueling schedule and/or use of blow-off (bleeding air off the compressor, for handling purposes).

  5. 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 ...

  6. Axial compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_compressor

    In this situation the energy required to run the compressor drops suddenly, and the remaining hot air in the rear of the engine allows the turbine to speed up [citation needed] the whole engine dramatically. This condition, known as surging, was a major problem on early engines and often led to the turbine or compressor breaking and shedding ...

  7. Pneumatic motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_motor

    A pneumatic motor (air motor), or compressed-air engine, is a type of motor which does mechanical work by expanding compressed air. Pneumatic motors generally convert the compressed-air energy to mechanical work through either linear or rotary motion.

    A Honduras gang member who was illegally in the US “giggled” as he admitted kidnapping a young Texas woman at gunpoint and threatening to pimp her out and sell her organs, according to cops.

  9. Kaeser Compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaeser_Compressors

    Oil flooding at the point of compression provides cleaning, lubrication and cooling, which contributes to air-end efficiency. Sigma Profile air-ends are now found in a range of compressors from 3 to 650 hp (2.2 to 484.7 kW). Kaeser continues to refine and improve the air-end design up to 1000 hp.
