Engines Flashcards
A rotary engine that converts kinetic energy of a moving fluid (water, steam, air,… )
Turbine
A scavenging system that collects and disposes of the high temperature.
Exhaust
The capture area definition and attached ducting to an aircraft gas turbine engine or ramjet engine and, as such, an intake is followed by a compressor or combustion chamber. It may instead be referred to as a diffuser.
Intake
The area within the Cylinder where the fuel/air mix is ignited. As the Piston compresses the fuel/air mix and makes contact with the Spark Plug, the mixture is combusted and pushed out of the Combustion Chamber in the form of energy.
Chamber
(or a reheat) is an additional component present on some jet engines, mostly military supersonic aircraft.
Afterburner
An engine variant which produces thrust using a combination of jet core efflux and bypass air which has been accelerated by a ducted fan that is driven by the jet core
Bypass
