Quiz 4 Powerplant Flashcards
how many pounds of thrust do our engines produce
4,660
the -50 R engines are ____ _____ to an altitude prescribed by the AFM
flat rated
What does flat rated mean
an engine of high horsepower rating is constrained to a lower horsepower rating
what is spool
twin stool engine compressor and turbine connected on a single shaft - we have two (N1 and N2)
Axial flow
low pressure compressor - 4 rows of compressors and 4 rows fo stators
what is the difference between compressors and stators
compressors move and stators are stationary
what does the accessory drive run
oil pump
fuel pump - high pressure
starter/generator
alternator
fuel control unit
hydraulic pump
what drives the accessory case
N2 through tower shaft
for the Digital Electronic Control (DEEC) the ENG CMPTR should always be in the ______ position during normal operation
AUTO
The Digital Electronic Engine Control (DEEC) receives inputs from
engien inlet pressure
engine inlet temperature
interstage turbine temp (ITT)
N2 and N1 speeds
power lever angle (PLA)
what do the 6 inputs to the DEEC allow it to do
schedule, govern, and limit the engine
If the DEEC is running to fast what will happen
it will shut down
what does the fan do
it moves a large volume of air into bypass duct and engine core
its the thing you can see at the front of the turbine engine
Low pressure spool N1
consists of axial flow compressor and low-pressure turbine mounted on a common shaft
High pressure spool N2
centrifugal compressor driven by turbine on a concentric shaft
