Energy Transfer from Gas Flow To Turbine
From the description contained in para. 1, it will be seen that the turbine depends for its operation on the transfer of energy between the combustion gases and the turbine.…
Turbines
The turbine has the task of providing the power to drive the compressor and accessories and, in the case of engines which do not make use solely of a jet…
Combustion Chamber Performance
A combustion chamber must be capable of allowing fuel to burn efficiently over a wide range of operating conditions without incurring a large pressure loss. In addition, if flame extinction…
Annular combustion chamber
This type of combustion chamber consists of a single flame tube, completely annular in form, which is contained in an inner and outer casing (fig. 4-9). The airflow through the…
Types of Combustion Chamber
There are three main types of combustion chamber in use for gas turbine engines. These are the multiple chamber, the tubo-annular chamber and the annular chamber. Multiple combustion chamber. This…
Fuel Supply
Fuel is supplied to the airstream by one of two distinct methods. The most common is the injection of a fine atomized spray into the recirculating airstream through spray nozzles…
Combustion chambers
The combustion chamber (fig. 4-1) has the difficult task of burning large quantities of fuel, supplied through the fuel spray nozzles (Part 10), with extensive volumes of air, supplied by…

Materials are chosen to achieve the most cost-effective design for the components in question, in practice for aero engine design this need is usually best satisfied by the lightest design…
Airflow Control
Where high pressure ratios on a single shaft are required it becomes necessary to introduce airflow control into the compressor design. This may take the form of variable inlet guide…
Operating Conditions of a Multi-Stage Compressor
Each stage of a multi-stage compressor possesses certain airflow characteristics that are dissimilar from those of its neighbour; thus to design a workable and efficient compressor, the characteristics of each…
