Working Cycle And Airflow Flashcards
In a working cycle, these gas turbine engine works at constant what?
Pressure
In a piston engine, the working cycle occurs at constant what?
Volume
What is the process called when air is compressed or expanded at 100% efficiency
Adiabatic
What type of air duct is required when a conversion of velocity (kinetic) to pressure is required
Divergent duct
What type of nozzle is used to achieve maximum conversion of energy I’m the combustion gases to kinetic energy
Convergent-divergent nozzle
What happens to pressure velocity and temperature in a divergent nozzle
Pressure and temperature increases and velocity decreases
What happens to pressure velocity and temperature in a convergent nozzle
Pressure and temperature decreases velocity increases
What is the high by-pass ratio of a fan engine
5:1
What is a engine by-pass ratio
Ratio of cooled air by passed through the duct to the flow of air passed through the high pressure system
