Aircraft Powerplant 2

A - takes in a quantity of air, adds energy to it, and then discharges the air to produce thrust.

• Rocket engine
• gas turbine engine

• Propeller
• Turbofan

In the Compression Section, the - air forced into an engine, the more thrust the engine can produce.

• more

• lesser

• lower

• high

The component forcing air into an engine

• Fuel Injector
• Radiator
• Compressor
• Turbocharger or Supercharger

The compression's primary function is to lessen air in sufficient quantity to satisfy the requirements of the combustion burners.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

The primary function is to supply air in sufficient quantity to

satisfy the requirements of the combustion burners.

Specifically, to fulfill its purpose, the compressor must decrease the pressure of the mass of air received from the air inlet duct, and then discharge it to the burners in the quantity and at the pressures required.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

Specifically, to fulfill its purpose, the compressor must increase the pressure of the mass of air received from the air inlet duct, and then discharge it to the burners in the quantity and at the pressures required.

- or customer - is tapped from the compressor through bleed ports at various stages

• Bleed air

• Bleed port

• Compressor

• Turbine engine

is a small opening adjacent to the compressor stage selected for bleed air supply

• Bleed air

• Bleed port

• Compressor

• Turbine engine

Other Functions of Compressor:

• Support the combustion and provide the

  air necessary to produce thrust

• Supplies the bleed air:

  a. To cool the hot section

  b. Heated air for anti-icing

  c. cabin pressurization

  d. fuel system deicing

  e. pneumatic engine starting

• Support the engine and provide the

  air necessary to produce thrust

• Supplies the bleed air:

  a. Heated air for anti-icing

  b. cabin pressurization

  c. fuel system deicing

  d. pneumatic engine starting

two basic types of compressors

• centrifugal flow compressor

• axial flow compressor

• centrifugal compressor

• axial compressor

Sometimes called a radial outflow compressor, It is one of the earliest compressor designs, and it is still used today in some smaller engines and auxiliary power units (APUs).

• centrifugal flow compressor
