  1. Jet EnginesEngine Review Back to School – Spring Break is Over!

  2. Overview Basic Engines Scientific Terms Reciprocating Engines Laws of Physics Jet Engines How Jet Engines Operate Types of Jet Engines Reversers and Suppressors

  3. FLIGHT POWER • Objectives • Understand Functions in the Jet Engine Basic Sections • Know Gas Turbine Engine Basic System Parts

  4. Gas Turbine Engines

  5. Jet Engines • Suspicion at first • Acceptance

  6. How Jet Engines Operate • Compared to reciprocating engines, the theoretical workings of the jet engine are simple.

  7. Turbojet Engines • Most widely used jet engine in the world • Same basic operational sequence • Air enters through the intake section • Goes through the mechanical compressor • Forced into the combustion chamber, mixes with fuel, and burns • Escapes out through the exhaust nozzle = THRUST

  8. Advantages of Turbine Engines • Vibration stress is relieved • Engine is simpler • Coolingis less complicated • Disadvantages of Turbine Engines • High fuel consumption • Poor performance at low-power setting, low speeds and low altitudes

  9. Thrust • Power of a jet engine is expressed in pounds of thrust Thrust = Weight of air x acceleration

  10. How Jet Engines Operate

  11. Turbojet Engines • Parts of Turbojet Engines • Intake • Compressor • Combustion Chamber Compressor Intake Combustor

  12. How Jet Engines Operate Compressor

  13. Turbojet Engines • Parts of Turbojet Engines • Turbine Section • Exhaust Section • Afterburner • Nozzle Turbine Nozzle Augmentor

  14. How Jet Engines Operate Turbine

  15. How Jet Engines Operate

  16. Summary Basic Engines Scientific Terms Reciprocating Engines Laws of Physics Jet Engines How Jet Engines Operate Types of Jet Engines Reversers and Suppressors

  17. Types of Jet Engines • Ramjet Engines • Turbo Fan • Turbo Prop • Turbo Shaft

  18. Types of Jet Engines • Ramjet Engines • Simplest Jet Engine • Contains no moving parts • Fuel is injected into the airstream and is ignited by a spark • Will not function until enough air is coming through the intake to create a high- pressure flow • Theoretically has no maximum speed

  19. Turbojet Engines • Types of Turbojet Engines Axial-Flow Engine Centrifugal-Flow Engine

  20. Turbofan Engines • Becoming the dominant engine • Fuel-efficient • 4X amount of Air pulled in

  21. Turboprop Engines • Combines the best features of • turbojet and propeller aircraft • Efficient at low altitudes and slow speeds

  22. TurboshaftEngines • For use in Helicopters

  23. How Jet Engines Operate

  24. How Jet Engines Operate http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/turbparts.html

  25. Turbine Engines - Summary • Uses the force of hot flowing gases striking a turbine to produce thrust Know the four basic types Know the parts Know what and afterburner is: fuel injected into exhaust under pressure – velocity increased
