Definitions of the keywords used in the animation 2

Jet Propulsion:- Propulsion of a body by the discharge of fluid is termed as jet propulsion. Jet engine is used to propel the body such as rocket, ship etc.

Classification:-

Turbojet EngineRamjet Engine

Principle of jet propulsion:-

Jet is produced by combustion of fuel. The mixture of burnt fuel and compressed air exerts the thrust to the jet engine.

Turbojet engine:-

It is the oldest type of jet engine. Brayton cycle is the basis for the Turbojet engine. It works on gas turbine. Jet is produced by combustion of fuel and appropriate oxidant carried by the engine.

Working Principle of turbojet engine:-

(1) The air is scooped from the front of the engine.

(2) The air is then compressed into the compressor.

(3) The compressed air is supplied to the combustion chamber. The fuel is supplied to the combustion chamber, which burns at high pressure and temperature.

Continued

(4) The mixture is then expanded into the turbine, which is coupled with the compressor. The work produced by the turbine is used to run the compressor.

(5) Then the fuel air mixture is allowed to expand into the nozzle at very high speed. The equivalent and opposite thrust force can be obtained.

Main parts of the turbojet engine:-

Compressor Combustion Chamber Turbine Nozzle

Compressor:-

A compressor is a mechanical device, which increases the pressure of a gas by decreasing its volume.

Dynamic type, multistage axial compressor is used mainly in the turbojet engine. Centrifugal type compressor, axial centrifugal compressor may also be used.

Multistage axial compressor:-

An axial compressor is typically made up of many alternating rows of rotating and stationary blades called rotors and stators.

Compressors with many blade rows are termed multistage compressors.

Stator, blades attached are stationary blades (s)

First blade, stationary (inlet guide vane)

Rotor, Blades attached are rotary blades (R).

Combustion chamber :-

Also known as combustor, Flame holder.

This is a chamber where fuel is continuously burned in the compressed air. Pressure remains almost constant.

Can type combustion chamber is mainly used in jet engines.

Can type combustion chamber

A large no. of single burners are arranged in parallel circumferentially around the engine axis.

Burners are linked up by interconnectors, that enable the flame to spread into the neighboring combustion chamber, thus igniting the fuel air mixture there.

Turbine:-

Primary task of turbine in the jet engine is mainly to run the compressor.

Axial type turbines is mainly used in the jet engine. Axial flow type turbine can be single stage or multi stage. Similar to the compressor it has stationary nozzle guide vanes followed by a set of rotating blades.

A small questionnaire with answers based on the concept. 7

Turbojet engine are based on which cycle? Brayton cycle

What is the possible use of work produce in the turbine of the turbojet engine? Turbine is coupled with the compressor so produced work is used to run the compressor. So only that part of thermal energy should be converted into work in the turbine which are necessary to run the compressor.

Which equation is used to calculate the power produced in the jet engine? Momentum equation

Write application of jet engines? Rocket , ship, missiles etc.
