1. COMPRESSOR OPERATION THIS PRESENTATION WILL GIVE A SIMPLE DEMONSTRATION OF HOW JET ENGINE COMPRESSORS WORK

2. COMPRESSOR OPERATION THE COMPRESSING ACTION CONSISTS OF TAKING A QUANTITY OF AIR AND FORCING IT INTO A SMALLER AND SMALLER SPACE THIS SQUARE REPRESENTS A QUANTITY OF AIR THIS SQUARE REPRESENTS THE SAME QUANTITY OF AIR BUT SQUEEZED INTO A SMALLER VOLUME LET’S SEE HOW THIS IS DONE

3. PUSH BACK SQUEEZE COMPRESSOR OPERATION

4. PUSH BACK SQUEEZE COMPRESSOR OPERATION

5. PUSH BACK SQUEEZE COMPRESSOR OPERATION

6. PUSH BACK SQUEEZE COMPRESSOR OPERATION

7. BIG AT FRONTSMALL AT REAR THIS IS WHY COMPRESSORS ARE SHAPED THE WAY THEY ARE

8. COMPRESSOR OPERATION FRONTREAR COMPRESSORS HAVE A SERIES OF ‘STAGES’ EACH STAGE GIVES A SMALL PRESSURE RISE OVER THE PREVIOUS STAGE

9. COMPRESSOR OPERATION FRONTREAR EACH STAGE CONSISTS OF A ‘ROTOR BLADE’ IN FRONT OF A ‘STATOR VANE’ FIRST STAGE ROTOR STATOR SECOND STAGE ROTOR STATOR THIRD STAGE ROTOR STATOR FOURTH STAGE ROTOR STATOR FIFTH STAGE ROTOR STATOR FRONTREAR ROTOR BLADE ROTATE LIKE PROPELLOR BLADES ROTOR STATOR VANES ARE FIXED TO THE ENGINE CASING STATORS

10. COMPRESSOR OPERATION COMPRESSOR ROTOR BLADES DO THE PUSHING BACK FRONTREAR

11. COMPRESSOR OPERATION COMPRESSOR STATORS VANES DO THE SQUEEZING I.E. COMPRESSING FRONTREAR

12. COMPRESSOR OPERATION WHENEVER AIR IS FORCED INTO A SMALLER SPACE TWO THINGS HAPPEN FIRST:- THE PRESSURE OF THE TRAPPED AIR INCREASES SECOND:- THE TEMPERATURE OF THE TRAPPED AIR ALSO INCREASES YOU CAN PROVE THESE TWO EFFECTS WITH A BICYCLE PUMP! IN A JET ENGINE COMPRESSOR, IT IS A CONSTANT FLOW OF AIR CONSTANTLY BEING COMPRESSED.
