15.7 Exhaust - 3q Flashcards

1
Q

Exhaust main purpose?

A

Accelerate airflow from the turbine to make thrust. Also that the gasses leave the turbine at the correct direction and optimum velocity

Q

Does a turboshaft produce thrust?

A

No. The maximum amount of energy is absorbed by the turbine so no jet thrust is obtained

Q

high bypass engine uses?

A

an unmixed exhaust

17
Q

How do nozzle lobes and corrugations decrease noise output?

A

By increasing the shearing area between the exhaust gas and the outside air

18
Q

When can the thrust reverser be used?

A

on the ground only

19
Q

how many interlocks does the T/R have and what are they?

A

3
* Throttle interlock
* Lever interlock
* Reverser interlock

20
Q

Clamshell and bucket door?

A

Clamshell door - Low bypass, pneumatically operated
Bucket door - Low bypass, Hydraulically operated

21
Q

When air leaves the centrifugal compressor it enters?

A

The manifold (aka scroll)

22
Q

T/R will not operate unless?

A

There is weight on wheels
