  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. The ...

  3. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

    While fully developed compressor surge is axisymmetric, its initial phase is not necessarily axisymmetric. Actually, severe damage of compressor surge is often related to very large transverse loads on blades and casing in its initial transient. [7] A chain reaction of compressor surge is the flameout of a jet engine. Due to a lack of air ...

  4. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    There is a well-defined, low-flow boundary marked on the map as a stall or surge line, at which blade stall occurs due to positive incidence separation. Not marked as such on maps for turbochargers and gas turbine engines is a more gradually approached, high-flow boundary at which passages choke when the gas velocity reaches the speed of sound.

  5. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    Surge control line is the line which works as the indicating line for the surge control mechanism so that surge can be prevented in the system and proper steps can be taken. The line can vary for different surge control systems as it is up to the system to decide the margin between operating point and the surge point. [13]

  6. Small engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_engine

    Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-twin engine in a portable generator. A small engine is the general term for a wide range of small-displacement, low-powered internal combustion engines used to power lawn mowers, generators, concrete mixers and many other machines that require independent power sources.

  8. Hopper cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopper_cooling

    Water-cooled engines remove this heat from around the cylinder head by surrounding it with a water jacket. In most familiar engines today, this water is circulated from the hot parts of the engine to a radiator, where it gives up its heat to the air. In early and low powered engines with hopper cooling there is little circulation. Water is ...

  9. Water injection (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(engine)

    Notable engine with water fuel injection: BMW 801, Daimler-Benz DB 605, Junkers Jumo 213. When used in a turbine engine, the effects are similar, except that normally preventing detonation is not the primary goal. Water is normally injected either at the compressor inlet or in the diffuser just before the combustion chambers.
