Combustion chambers types?

Definition

Can

anular

cananular

Term
Combustion chamber Purpose?
Definition

Provides a structural area where the efficient burning of the fuel air ration can take place


 

Term
Aprox temp of burning kerosene in celcius?
Definition
1900 C
Term
How much does the burning kerosene have to be cooled Before reaching turbine?
Definition
By about 50%, to 1000C
Term
How much does the secondary air flow lower the temp of burning kerosene?
Definition
About 50% to 1000C
Term
primary airflow vs secondary?
Definition

Primary air flow- used to mix with the fuel and burn (combustion process)

secondray air- used for cooling the hot gases through dilution, insulation cools the metal, also controls shape of the flame

Term
What percent of the primary airflow supports the combustion process?
Definition
25%
Term
Advantages/ disadvantage of the Can type combustion chamber?
Definition

Adv- 1. Burners are individualy removable for inspection and maintence

2. Airflow patterns are easier to control during design

Dis- 1. design leads to large frontal area

2. Heavy weight

Term
Advantages and disadvantages Anular combustion type?
Definition

Advantages- less cooling air required( better heat dissapation) 

light weight

disadvantage- structurally  fragile

difficult to remove and inspect for maintence 

Term
Igniters in the combustion chamber?
Definition
Used ignites the fuel air mixture during engine starting and there are normally two,located 180 degrees apart
Term
Development of hy bypass ratio of secondary air through the core, 20% , significantly lowered, not S much cooling air available use the easiest cooling type?
Definition
Machine ring ( annular )chamber
Term
Function of the turbine?
Definition
To extract energy from the gas stream exiting the combustion chamber,And the turbine turns the compressor
Term
Types of turbines?
Definition

Radial in flow

axial flow

Term
Types of turbine blades
Definition

Impulse 

reaction

impulse reaction

Term
How much energy is extracted to turn the compressor?
Definition
75%
Term
One stage of axial consists of?
Definition
One row of stationary vanes and one row of rotating blades
Term

Turbine?under highest stress? Can take highest stress???

True or false?

Definition
False
Term
Can you over heat the turbine for even a short period of time?
Definition
Hell no it takes only seconds to damage
Term
Turbine nozzle vs stator
Definition

Nozzle- first row of turbine guide vanes, convert heat and pressure of the gas stream using bernoulli principal

Direct gas stream so hits strikes the turbine blades at the proper angle

Stators- nozzle guide vanes not including the first row, all attached to the engine case

 

Term
Compute Hp extracted by the turbine?
Definition

Hp= specific heat of air* change in temp* Wair*778

_________________________________________

550

 

specific heat of air= .24

1 BTU= 778ftlbs

1 Hp= 550ftlbs/sec 

Term
Impulse reaction turbine blades?
Definition

Blade use reaction principal at the tip where velocity is high, and blade gradually changes to an impulse blade at the root where the speed is low

this keeps the pressure uniform across the blade length making it the most efficient 

Term
Exhaust system purpose?
Definition

Your have to know the engine type to know the purpose

turboprop- useless

turbojet-main power

Term
How do you determine supersonic or subsonic flow exhaust system?
Definition

sub sonic uses convergent

supersonic has a convergent section then a divergent section

(how power is used/ extracted)

Term
Purpose of exhaust for engine types ?
Definition

Turbojet-exhaust gas at highest possible velocity

turboprop/turboshaft-useless,conduct exhaust gas rearward with as little energy loss as possible

turbofan- only about 15% thrust is produced, important to extract as much a energy as possible

turbo

Term
Bernoulli shape of sub sonic flow exhaust?
Definition
Convergent
Term
Exhaust nozzle on a turbo fan?
Definition
Yes there is
Term
Exhaust plug/ cone use?
Definition
Aids in the straightening process of the air, creates an area of divergence to straighten air
Term
Is the exhaust duct aft of the turbine?
Definition
Yes
Term
Supersonic exhaust systems?
Definition
Convergent nozzle,to divergent nozzle
Term
are there circuit breakers for vortex generators ?
Definition
No there are none
Term
5 parts of exhaust system
Definition

Case

plug

duct

nozzle 

prob

Term
Temperature measurements know type based on position of probe?
Definition

Temp prob/ thermal couple - aft of turbine gives EGT

also probes work lower temp,less likely to break 

EPR- located in exhaust,work in conjunction with probes in the intake

Term
Do thermalCouples need nigh energy transformers?
Definition
No bc they produce their own electricity
Term
Would you replace a thermal couple with an EPR probe?
Definition
Hell no
Term
Can you ignore engine temp when taking off?
Definition
Hell No, False
Term
Purpose of the intake?
Definition

Supply the engine with the required mass airflow at the highest possible pressure

provide for minmum compressor stall tendencies

Term
Know Bernoulli convergent s divergent ducts?
Definition
Term
two ways intake ducts are rated
Definition

Rated-

duct pressure efficiency ratio- ability to convert kinetic/ dynamic pressure energy, inlet to static pressure energy at the compressor w/o a loss of total pressure

ram recovery point- A/S at which the ram pressure is equal to friction pressure,or inlet pressure is equal to total pressure

Term
Purpose of compressor?
Definition
To provide high pressure air to the combustion chamber
Term
Parts and types of each compressors?
Definition

Centrifugal-impeller and diffuser

 

axial-rotor stator

 

axial-centrifugal- rotor stator impeller

Term
Advantages/disadvantages to each compressor type?
Definition

Centrifugal- adv. -simple,low cost,rugged,high compression ratio per stage

dis.- efficiency limited by one or two stages, RPM limited sure to sized 80%efficient,relatively high SFC

Axial- adv.- very high compression ratio,high efficiency,low frontal  areas

dis.- suceptipal to FOD, complex and expensive, low pressure ratio per stage

 

Term
Stages of compressors?
Definition
Row of rotating/ row of stationary
Term
Split spool compressor?
Definition
Low pressure then high pressure
Term
Compressor stall? True false
Definition
Any action that decreases the air flow relative to engine blade speed increase tndancy to have a compressor stall
Term
Compression ratio/ TSFC
Definition

Specific fuel consumption decreases with increasing pressure ratio

 

Term
Compression ratio math
Definition

Inlet pressure*pressure change^number of stages=pressure change across entire sysystem
