MAJOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS 1. Inlet: – Continuously draw air into engine through

MAJOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS 1. Inlet: – Continuously draw air into engine through inlet – Slows, or diffuses, to compressor 2. Compressor / Fan: – Compresses air – Generally two, or three, compressors in series – Raises stagnation temperature and pressure (enthalpy) of flow – Work is done on the air 3. Combustor/Burner: – Combustion or burning processes – Adds fuel to compressed air and burns it – Converts chemical to thermal energy – Process takes place at relatively constant pressure

MAJOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS 4. Turbine: – Generally two or three turbines in

MAJOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS 4. Turbine: – Generally two or three turbines in series – Turbine powers, or drives, the compressor – Air is expanded through turbine (P & T ↓) – Work is done by the air on the blades – Use some of that work to drive compressor – Next: • Expand in a nozzle – Convert thermal to kinetic energy (turbojet) – Burning may occur in duct downstream of turbine (afterburner) • Expand through another turbine – Use this extracted work to drive a fan (turbofan) 5. Nozzle: – Flow is ejected back into the atmosphere, but with increased momentum – Raises velocity of exiting mass flow

AIRCRAFT ENGINE BASICS • All aircraft engines are HEAT ENGINES – Utilize thermal energy

AIRCRAFT ENGINE BASICS • All aircraft engines are HEAT ENGINES – Utilize thermal energy derived from combustion of fossil fuels to produce mechanical energy in form of kinetic energy of an exhaust jet – Momentum excess of exhaust jet over incoming airflow produces thrust • Thrust = Force = Time Rate Change of Momentum • In studying these devices we will employ two types of modeling 1. Fluid Mechanic • Relate changes in pressure, temperature and velocity of air to physical characteristics of engine 2. Thermodynamic (Cycle Analysis) • Thermal → mechanical energy from thermal is studied using thermodynamics • Study change in thermodynamic state of air as passed through engine • Geometry of engine NOT important, but rather processes are important

A GOOD PLACE FOR MARKET NEWS Singapore Airlines places US$7. 35 bln Boeing order August 25, 2004 04: 13: 57 (ET) SINGAPORE, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Singapore Airlines Ltd. ((SIAL. SI)), the world's second-largest airline by market value, said on Wednesday it had ordered 31 Boeing Co (BA, Trade) long-range 777 -300 ERs worth about US$7. 35 billion in a fleet renewal programme. The aircraft will be powered by engines from General Electric Co (GE, Trade), Asia's most profitable airline said. The national carrier had asked airframe manufacturers Boeing Co (BA, Trade) and Airbus SAS ((EAD. DE))((EAD. PA)) to bid for new plane orders it may place later this year. Boeing, the No. 2 maker of jetliners, is in a dogfight for market share with No. 1 Airbus. The planes will cover the medium-haul and regional needs of the 57 percent government-owned airline over the coming years.
