MAIN PARTS Fan Compressor Combustor Turbine Nozzle
Processes in the engine Air enters the engine through the fan Some air is compressed in the compressor Compressed air is mixed with fuel and ignited in the combustor Heat and pressure cause the air expand through the turbins, part of the air spins the turbine Burning mixture exits the engine throuhg the exhaust nozzle, which generates thrust
MAIN PARTS Compressor Combustor Turbine Nozzle
Processes in the engine Air flows into the engine Air is compressed to high pressure Fuel is injected Cooler air reduces temperature Gas exits the exhaust nozzle, which generates thrust
MAIN PARTS Propeller Compressor Combustor Turbine+extra Nozzle
MAIN PARTS Reduction Gear box Propeller drive shaft
Processes in the engine The same principle as turbojet or turbofan Most of the hot air is used for rotating the extra turbine The extra turbine makes the propeller spin using reduction gear
MAIN PARTS Compressor Combustor Turbine+extra Nozzle
MAIN PARTS Reduction Gear box Drive shaft+extra shaft
Processes in engine The same principle as the turboprop engine The propeller is removed There is couple of gear boxes It can drive a helicopter rotor
