Thrust versus horsepower
• Recall: power = rate of doing work
• in other words:
– Lift up a one pound weight through 550 feet in one
second and you have 1 horsepower
• Mathematically:
– Power = Force x Distance
Time
• Propeller torque and RPM are used to
calculate horsepower

Thrust versus horsepower • Power harder to measure in a jet engine (time
and distance elements not always involved)
• Once a jet engine is moving forward then a comparison can be made
• At an airspeed of 375 mph (325 kts), one lb of thrust = 1 HP
• THP = thrust x TAS (kts)
325
• So a B777 engine produces 90,000lbs of thrust – On take off (100kts) = 27690 HP
– During climb (300kts) = 83070 HP (assuming full power)

Turbojet engines Also called as the pure jet.
The compressor section passes inlet air at a high rate of
speed to the combustion chamber.
The combustion chamber contains the fuel inlet and igniters
for combustion. The expanding air drives a turbine, which is
connected by a shaft to the compressor, sustaining engine
operation.
The accelerated exhaust gases from the engine provide
thrust.
Turbojet engines are limited on range and endurance. They
are also slow to respond to throttle applications at slow
compressor speeds.

Turboprop engines
A turboprop engine is a turbine engine that drives a
propeller through a reduction gear. The exhaust gases
drive a power turbine connected by a shaft that drives the
reduction gear assembly.
Turboprop engines are most efficient at speeds between
250 and 400 m.p.h. and altitudes between 18,000 and
30,000 feet. They also perform well at the slow airspeeds
required for takeoff and landing, and are fuel efficient. The

48
Turbofan engines
Turbofan engines are designed to create additional thrust by diverting a
secondary airflow around the combustion chamber.
The turbofan bypass air generates increased thrust, cools the engine, and
aids in exhaust noise suppression. This provides turbojet-type cruise
speed and lower fuel consumption.
The inlet air that passes through a turbofan engine is usually divided into
two separate streams of air. One stream passes through the engine core,
while a second stream bypasses the engine core. It is this bypass stream
of air that is responsible for the term “bypass engine.” A turbofan’s bypass
ratio refers to the ratio of the mass airflow that passes through the fan
divided by the mass airflow that passes through the engine core.

49
Turboshaft engines
It delivers power to a shaft that drives something other than
a propeller.
The biggest difference between a turbojet and turboshaft
engine is that on a turboshaft engine, most of the energy
produced by the expanding gases is used to drive a turbine
rather than produce thrust.
Many helicopters use a turboshaft gas turbine engine. In
addition, turboshaft engines are widely used as auxiliary
power units on large aircraft.

commercially operated aircraft
• For a turbojet and turbofan of the same
rated thrust the turbofan will burn less fuel
• The turbofan has less wasted kinetic
energy after exiting the exhaust (exhaust
velocity is closer to aircraft speed)

Compressor Section
It’s function is to supply air in sufficient
quantity to satisfy the needs of the
combustor
Compressors operate on the principle of
acceleration of air followed by diffusion to
convert the acquired kinetic energy into a
pressure rise
14
![Page 86: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Compressor Section
A secondary purpose of the compressor
section is to supply bleed air for use by
the engine and aircraft systems
Common bleed air uses are
Cabin pressurisation
Air Conditioning
Aircraft pneumatic systems
Anti icing, inflating door seals, suction 15
![Page 87: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Compressor Section
There are two types of compressors
Centrifugal flow
Axial flow
16
![Page 88: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Centrifugal Compressor
It consists of an impeller (rotor), a diffuser (stator) and a
manifold.
17
![Page 89: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
The principal differences between the two types of impellers are
size and ducting arrangement.
The double-entry type has a smaller diameter but is usually
operated at a higher rotational speed to ensure enough airflow.
The single-entry impeller permits convenient ducting directly to
the impeller eye (inducer vanes) as opposed to the more
complicated ducting necessary to reach the rear side of the
double-entry type.
Plenum Chamber
This chamber is necessary for a double-entry compressor because
air must enter the engine at almost right angles to the engine axis.
To give a positive flow, air must surround the engine compressor at
a positive pressure before entering the compressor.
Single & double entry impellers

Centrifugal Compressor
Air enters the impeller at the hub and then
flows outward through impeller blades
The impeller imparts rotational and
outward velocity to the air which then
flows into the diffuser where divergent
ducts convert velocity into pressure

Axial compressor roots and tips
Vibration is a problem with any rotational
machinery
The root of the compressor disk is often
only loosely fitted to the hub
As the compressor rotates centrifugal
loading locks the blade in its correct position
and the air stream over the airfoil provides a
shock mounting or cushioning effect 45
![Page 117: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
To avoid energy losses (including shock
waves) over the tips of the rotor blades,
the clearance between the rotor and the
surrounding shroud must be kept to a
minimum
Newer engines are designed to rotate within
a shroud strip of abradable material
Sometimes during coastdown a high
pitched noise can be heard if the blade
tip and shroud strip are touching 46
![Page 118: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)

Multi Spool Compressors
For any given power setting the high
pressure compressor speed is held
constant by the fuel control unit
The low pressure compressor(s) will speed
up and slow down with changes in engine
inlet conditions resulting from atmospheric
changes

Compressor Stall & Surge
Compressor blades, being aerofoils, can
stall at too high an angle of attack
the close proximity of blades in different
stages means that if one stage stalls, so
may the next
55
![Page 127: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Angle of Attack and compressor stall
Compressor stalls cause air flowing
through the compressor to slow down,
stagnate or reverse direction
this is then know as an engine surge
Any change to the design airflow will have
an effect to all other sections of the gas
turbine engine

Angle of Attack and compressor stall
Causes
Excessive fuel flow changes
Turbulent air
Contaminated or damaged compressors
Contaminated or damaged turbine blades
Engine operation outside design RPM
Too rapid movement of throttles 60

Angle of Attack and compressor stall
Can occur during a cross wind take-off
Can occur during a steep turn
Detected by
Audible noise and/or vibration
Fluctuating RPM
Increased EGT 61

Angle of Attack and compressor stall
Reverse air flow may result in the compressor
blades bending and contacting the stator
vanes
Sophisticated engines use:
bleed air to reduce the possibility of
compressor stall, or
variable incidence guide vanes 62

The Combustion Section
The combustion process must ideally be
able to efficiently convert chemical energy
to heat energy under all operating
situations from engine start to engine shut
down
A chemically correct (stoichiometric)
mixture is approximately 15:1 air/fuel

The Combustion Process
The temperature of the gases released by
combustion can be well in excess of 15000C
which will destroy the combustion chamber
and turbine section
About 60% of the air entering the
combustion chamber is used for cooling only

The Combustion Process
To function properly the combustion
chamber must
1. Provide a proper environment for the
mix of air and fuel
2. Cool the hot gases to a temperature
the turbine section components can
withstand
To accomplish this the airflow through
the combustor is divided into primary
and secondary paths 7
![Page 142: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)
The Combustion Process
Air from the compressor may enter
the combustion chamber in excess of
500 feet per second (300 knots)
The axial flow of the primary airflow
must be reduced to about 5 feet per
second (3 knots)
Because of the slow flame propagation
rate of jet fuels if the primary velocity
were too high it would blow the flame
out (flame out) 8
![Page 143: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
The Combustion Process
The reduction in axial velocity is achieved
by swirl vanes which create radial motion
and retard axial motion
The air from the swirl vanes and secondary
air holes interact and create a region of low
velocity circulation
This forms a toroidal vortex similar to a
smoke ring stabilising and anchoring the
flame 9

The Combustion Process
The combustion process is complete in
the first one third of the combustion
liner
In the remaining two thirds of the
combustor length the combusted and
uncombusted gas is mixed to provide an
even heat distribution at the turbine
nozzle 12

Flame Out
Although uncommon in modern engines
they still occur
Some common causes are
Turbulent weather
High altitude
Violent flight maneuvers
13
![Page 148: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
The Combustion Process
** Be careful when quoting air/fuel ratios**
14
![Page 149: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)
Flame Out
Flame out (lean) Usually occurs at low
fuel pressures at low engine speeds in
high altitude flight
Flame out (rich) Usually occurs during
fast engine acceleration in which an over
rich mixture causes combustion pressure
to increase until compressor flow stagnates
Turbulent inlet conditions can also cause stalls 15
![Page 150: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/150.jpg)
Flame Out
To minimise the possibility of flame out it
is essential to have a correct matching of
compression ratio, mass airflow and engine
speed

Multiple Can
This type of combustion chamber is more
common with centrifugal flow
compressors and earlier types of axial
flow compressors
The separate flame tubes are
interconnected to allow a constant
pressure and also propagate
combustion around the flame tubes
during starting 19

Common in turboprop engines as this
arrangement provides shorter engine
length and also a weight reduction

Fuel Supply
Fuel is supplied to the combustion chamber
by one of two methods
The most common is the injection of a
fine atomised spray into the re-circulating
airstream through spray nozzles
25
![Page 160: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/160.jpg)

Fuel Supply
The second fuel supply method is based on
the pre-vaporisation of the fuel before it
enters the combustion zone
The fuel/air mix is carried in a vaporising
tube which passes through the primary
flame area of the combustion chamber
More common in low power engines
27
![Page 162: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/162.jpg)
The Turbine Section
The turbine section is bolted onto the
combuster and contains nozzle guide vanes,
turbine rotors and turbine stators
The turbine functions to transform a
portion of the kinetic and heat energy in
the exhaust gases into mechanical work to
drive the compressor, propeller, fan and
accessories 28
![Page 163: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/163.jpg)

The turbine section
• Since energy is extracted from the airflow through a turbine section, pressure decreases across the turbine section
• Hence the boundary layer is much more likely to remain attached than in the compressor section
• Each stage of the turbine section can support several stages of compressor

Turbine Blades
Turbine blades extract energy from the
gas stream in two ways
Reaction
Impulse
43
![Page 178: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/178.jpg)
Reaction turbine blades
Reaction drives the blades via an
aerodynamic reaction
The gas stream is accelerated by
convergent nozzle guide vanes and directed
to flow over the turbine blades producing
an aerodynamic reaction
44
![Page 179: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/179.jpg)
Impulse turbine blades
Impulse turbine blades rotate via impact
of high velocity gas on the blades
The blades of a pure impulse turbine are
bucket shaped to maximise the conversion
of kinetic energy to mechanical energy
45
![Page 180: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/180.jpg)

Turbine Blades
Most turbine blades combine both
impulse and reaction principles
The degree of reaction depends on the
type of engine
47
![Page 182: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/182.jpg)
Turbine Blades
Turbojets require high exhaust velocities
to produce thrust so they use high reaction
turbine blades to produce maximum
acceleration
Turboprops and APUs use impulse turbine
blades because they are concerned with
power extraction and not thrust
48
![Page 183: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/183.jpg)
Turbine Blades
Turbofans use reaction/impulse blades to
extract energy to drive the fan while
maintaining reasonably high exhaust
velocity for core engine thrust
49
![Page 184: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/184.jpg)
Turbine Blades
• Higher entry
pressure at the blade
tips means that, to
create a uniform
exit flow, blade
profiles are adjusted
to a reaction profile
at the tip
50
![Page 185: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/185.jpg)

Turbine Blade Creep
Turbine blades are subject to enormous
stress loads
A blade weighing only 8 grams may
have to resist a centrifugal force of over
2000 kg
This causes turbine blades to lengthen with
continued use – known as creep 52
![Page 187: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/187.jpg)

Turbine Blade Creep
If manufacturer’s temperature or rpm
limits are exceeded the creep rate increases
and blade life is drastically reduced
Overhauls are timed to ensure that blades
are replaced before tertiary creep begins
55
![Page 190: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/190.jpg)
Turbine Temperature Measurement
Ideally temperature probes should be placed
in the turbine inlet to measure turbine inlet
temperature (TIT)
The temperature at the turbine inlet is
usually too hot to place temperature probes
56
![Page 191: Aerospace Propulsion Study For Shenyang Aerospace University by Lale420 (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013005/58ed89b91a28abda598b45fb/html5/thumbnails/191.jpg)
Turbine Temperature Measurement
Temperature probes are usually placed in an
intermediate stage (ITT) or at the turbine
outlet stage (TOT)
ITT and TOT readings are often
compensated to give an indication of the
temperature at the most critical point – the
turbine inlet
57

Exhaust Section
The exhaust section is located behind the
turbine section and usually consists of a
convergent cone to convert pressure
energy to kinetic energy

Accessory Section
The primary function is to provide space for the
mounting of accessories necessary for operation
and control of the engine. It also includes
accessories concerned with the aircraft, such as
electric generators and fluid power pumps.
Secondary functions include acting as an oil
reservoir and/or oil sump, and housing the
accessory drive gears and reduction gears.
Accessories are usually mounted on common
pads either ahead of or adjacent to the
compressor section. 72
