Combustion Section Flashcards
combutstion chamber is also known as ____________
combustor
This must contain the burning mixture of air, and fuel, in order to generate the maximum
heat release, at a substantially constant pressure, so the turbine receives a uniformly expanded, heated, and accelerated stream
of gas.
Combustion Section
They are must be designed to enable more efficient use of fuel with less pollution of
the atmosphere.
Combustion Chamber
Why is efficient combustion increasingly more important?
rise in the cost of the fuel
the increasing awareness of the aviation
industry and the general public of the dangers of atmospheric pollution from the exhaust
smoke.
Air enters the combustion
chamber at a ______________
than which it enters the intake of
the engine.
slightly lower rate
The flame rate of kerosene is
approximately ___________.
If burning kerosene was exposed
to a ____________ airstream, it would
be extinguished immediately.
30 feet per second
500 ft/s
the air has a reduction in _______ and
there is an increase in _________.
air velocity
pressure
Based from the graph, the air has
a reduction in air velocity and
there is an increase in pressure.
This is achieved by passing it
through a____________.
divergent duct
The __________ is still
not enough and a further decrease must be achieved if the flame is not to blow out.
reduction in velocity
