63
For aircraft that cannot go faster than the speed of sound.
SUBSONIC INLET
64
Its primary function is to supply air in sufficient quantity to satisfy the requirements of the combustion burners.
COMPRESSOR SECTION
65
A secondary function of the compressor is to supply bleed-air for various purposes in the engine and aircraft.
COMPRESSOR SECTION
66
It is use to engine & wing de-icing because the air is hot.
HIGH PRESSURE VALVE
67
It is use to air-conditioning.
LOW PRESSURE VALVE
68
It is the first to rotate at starting.
HIGH PRESSURE VALVE
69
It consists of an impeller (rotor),a diffuser (stator),and a compressor manifold.
CENTRIFUGAL FLOW COMPRESSORS
70
It operate by taking in outside air near the hub and rotating it by means of an impeller.
CENTRIFUGAL FLOW COMPRESSORS
71
It consists of two elements: a rotating member called the rotor, and the stator, which consists of rows of stationary blades.
AXIAL FLOW COMPRESSORS
72
2 common types of Axial flow configuration
SINGLE SPOOL / SOLID SPOOL SPLIT SPOOL / DUAL SPOOL.
73
It houses the combustion process, which raises the temperature of the air passing through the engine.
