  2. Exhaust mixer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_mixer

    Exhaust mixer of a JT8D engine of a Boeing 737-200. In aviation, an exhaust mixer / flow mixer is a feature of many turbofan engines, where slower, colder bypass air is mixed with faster, hotter core exhaust gases, before exhausting to atmospheric pressure through a common (mixed flow) propelling nozzle.

  3. CFM International CFM56 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFM_International_CFM56

    CFMI tested both a mixed and unmixed exhaust design at the beginning of development; [4] most variants of the engine have an unmixed exhaust nozzle. [nb 2] Only the high-power CFM56-5C, designed for the Airbus A340, has a mixed-flow exhaust nozzle. [nb 1] [53] GE and Snecma also tested the effectiveness of chevrons on reducing jet noise.

    A series of (e.g. labyrinth) seals allow a small flow of bleed air to wash the turbine disc to extract heat and, at the same time, pressurize the turbine rim seal, to prevent hot gases entering the inner part of the engine. Other types of seals are hydraulic, brush, carbon etc.

  5. Propelling nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propelling_nozzle

    At the other extreme, some high bypass ratio civil turbofans control the fan working line by using a convergent-divergent nozzle with an extremely low (less than 1.01) area ratio on the bypass (or mixed exhaust) stream. At low airspeeds, such a setup causes the nozzle to act as if it had variable geometry by preventing it from choking and ...

  6. Industrial fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_fan

    Industrial fans and blowers are machines whose primary function is to provide and accommodate a large flow of air or gas to various parts of a building or other structures. This is achieved by rotating a number of blades, connected to a hub and shaft, and driven by a motor or turbine .

  7. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

    Figure 1: Components of a centrifugal fan An external motor belt driven inline centrifugal fan discharging inline to the exterior of a building through a duct. Unlike non-inline/non-concentric impeller casing design with a cutoff blade above, the concentrically symetric cylinder casing and impeller geometry of inline type redirects the outflow around so that it is parallel to the inflow of gases.

  8. Turbofan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbofan

    In high bypass engines, the fan is situated in a short duct near the front of the engine and typically has a convergent cold nozzle, with the tail of the duct forming a low pressure ratio nozzle that under normal conditions will choke creating supersonic flow patterns around the core [citation needed].

  9. Ducted fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_fan

    In aeronautics, a ducted fan is a thrust-generating mechanical fan or propeller mounted within a cylindrical duct or shroud. Other terms include ducted propeller or shrouded propeller . [ 1 ] When used in vertical takeoff and landing ( VTOL ) applications it is also known as a shrouded rotor .
