What Engine provides?
- bleed air
- hydraulic
- engine thrust
4 types of gas turbine engine
- turbo fan
- turbojet
- turboprop
- turboshaft
thermodynamic cycles used in gas turbine engine
Brayton cycle
Principle of jet propulsion is based on
Newton’s third law of motion
thrust produced by the fan, thrust produced by the core engine
Thrust produced by a turbofan engine
Turbofan has
primary airflow (core engine) and secondary airflow
ratio of the secondary and primary airflow
Bypass ratio
Construction of turbine
- modular
- non-modular
no rebalancing is required
Modular
requires rebalancing
Non-modular
protects the combustion section and high turbine section from heat
and corrosion
Ceramic coating
have same strength with steel-based alloy but half as heavy as steel-based alloy
Titanium-based alloys
3 main section of Gas Turbine Engine
compressor, combustion, turbine
Major component in Gas Turbine Engine drives the compressor and accessory gearbox
Turbine
Two kinds of ducting
- divergent duct
- convergent duct
airflow velocity decreases, pressure and temperature increase
Divergent duct (narrow to wide)
airflow velocity increases
Convergent duct (wide to narrow)
increases the velocity at the exhaust
Jet nozzle
Working Cycle of a Gas Turbine Engine
induction, compression, combustion, expansion
part of the engine where temperature and pressure is measured
Engine station numbers
the effect if there’s a high pressure ratio
High EGT
amount of fuel the engine needs to make 1kN of thrust in 1hr
Thrust specific fuel consumption
only used for few minutes due to so much stressed produced to the engine
TOGA (Take off Go around)
fixed limitation for maximum thrust of engine
Flat rating
red stripe warning placard
Danger zone
Engine mounted on a supersonic airplane must convert the flow of air to subsonic by
having normal shockwave or oblique shock wave or multiple oblique shock wave on its inlet.
Aircraft is still possible to be released even with defective anti-ice valve (must be locked open, or locked close)
