ABSTRACT
The basic idea of the turbojet engine is simple. Air taken
in from an opening in the front of the engine is
compressed to 3 to 12 times its original pressure in
compressor. Fuel is added to the air and burned in a combustion chamber to raise the temperature of the fluid
mixture to about 1,100°F to 1,300° F. The resulting hot
air is passed through a turbine, which drives the
compressor. If the turbine and compressor are efficient,
the pressure at the turbine discharge will be nearly twice
the atmospheric pressure, and this excess pressure is
sent to the nozzle to produce a high-velocity stream of
gas which produces a thrust. Substantial increases in
thrust can be obtained by employing an afterburner. It is
a second combustion chamber positioned after the
turbine and before the nozzle. The afterburner increases
the temperature of the gas ahead of the nozzle. The
result of this increase in temperature is an increase of
about 40 percent in thrust at takeoff and a much larger percentage at high speeds once the plane is in the air.
INTRODUCTION
Jet Airways is the second largest Indian airline based
in Mumbai, Maharashtra, both, in terms of market share and
passengers carried. 51% of Jetairways owned by Naresh Goyal, and rest
of the ownership is unknown leading to SEBI's recent concerns of its
Merger with Etihad based on corporate laws. It operates over 1000
flights daily to 76 destinations worldwide. Its main hub is Mumbai, with
secondary hubs at Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru and Pune. It has
an international hub at Brussels Airport, Belgium.
HISTORY OF JET ENGINE
The History of the Jet Engine Sir Isaac Newton in the 18th century was
the first to theorize that a rearward-channeled explosion could propel a
machine forward at a great rate of speed. This theory was based on his
third law of motion. As the hot air blasts backwards through then
Nozzle the plane moves forward .Henri Giffard built an airship which
was powered by the first aircraft engine, a three-horse power steam
engine. It was very heavy, too heavy to fly .In 1874, Felix de Temple,
built a monoplane that flew just a short hop down a hill with the help of
a coal fired steam engine .Otto Daimler, in the late 1800s invented the
first gasoline engine .In 1894, American Hiram Maxim tried to power his
triple biplane with two coal fired steam engines. It only flew for a few
seconds .The early steam engines were powered by heated coal and
were generally much too heavy for flight .American Samuel Langley
made a model airplanes that were powered by steam engines. In 1896,
he was successful in flying an unmanned airplane with a steam-
powered engine, called the Aerodrome. It flew about 1 mile before it
ran out of steam .He then tried to build a full sized plane, the
Aerodrome A, with a gas powered engine. In1903, it crashed
immediately after being launched from a house boat .In 1903, the
Wright Brothers flew, The Flyer, with a 12 horse power gas powered
engine .From 1903, the year of the Wright Brothers first flight, to the
late 1930s the gas powered reciprocating internal-combustion engine
with a propeller was the sole means used top Propel aircraft .It was
Frank Whittle, a British pilot, who designed the first turbo jet engine in
1930. The first Whittle engine successfully flew in April, 1937.

TURBO FAN
The path the air takes through the engine and how power is produced
determines the type of engine. There are four types of aircraft turbine
engines—turbojet, turboprop, turbofan, and turboshaft.TurbojetThe
turbojet is the oldest kind of general-purpose airbreathing jet engine.
Two engineers, FrankWhittle in the United Kingdom and Hans von
Ohain in Germany, developed the concept independentlyinto practical
engines during the late 1930s.The turbojet engine consists of four
sections: compressor, combustion chamber, turbinesection, and
exhaust. The compressor section passes inlet air at a high rate of speed
to the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber contains the fuel
inlet and igniter 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 engineprovide
thrust. This is a basic application of compressing air, igniting the fuel-air
mixture,producing power to self-sustain the engine operation, and
exhaust for propulsion .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
gearassembly. Reduction gearing is necessary in turboprop engines
because optimum propellerperformance is achieved at much slower
speeds than the engine’s operating rpm. Turboprop engines are a
compromise between turbojet engines and reciprocating power plants
.Turboprop engines are most efficient at speeds between 250 and 400
mph 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
efficiency.
Turboprop Schematic diagram showing the operation of a
turboprop engine An ATR-72, a typical turboprop aircraft .A turboprop
engine is a type of turbine engine which drives an aircraft propeller
using a reduction gear.[1]The gas turbine is designed specifically for this
application, with almost all of its output being used to drive the
propeller. The engines exhaust gases contain little energy compared to
a jet engine and play only a minor role in the propulsion of the
aircraft.[citationneeded]The propeller is coupled to the turbine through
a reduction gear that converts the high RPM ,low torque output to low
RPM, high torque. The propeller itself is normally a constant
speed(variable pitch) type similar to that used with larger reciprocating
aircraft engines.[citation needed]
Turboprop engines are generally used on small subsonic aircraft,
but some aircraft outfittedwith turboprops have cruising speeds in
excess of 500 kt (926 km/h, 575 mph).Large military and civil aircraft,
such as the Lockheed L-188 Electra and the Tupolev Tu-95,have also
used turboprop power. The Airbus A400M is powered by four
EuropropTP400 engines, which are the third most powerful turboprop
engines ever produced, afterthe Kuznetsov NK-12 and Progress D-
27.[citation needed]In its simplest form a turboprop consists of an
intake, compressor, combustor, turbine, anda propelling nozzle. Air is
drawn into the intake and compressed by the compressor. Fuel isthen
added to the compressed air in the combustor, where the fuel-air
mixturethen combusts. The hot combustion gases expand through the
turbine. Some of the power generated by the turbine is used to drive
the compressor. The rest is transmitted throughthe reduction gearing
to the propeller. Further expansion of the gases occurs in thepropelling
nozzle, where the gases exhaust to atmospheric pressure. The
propelling nozzleprovides a relatively small proportion of the thrust
generated by a turboprop.Turboprops are very efficient at flight speeds
below 450 mph because the jet velocity of thepropeller (and exhaust) is
relatively low. Due to the high price of turboprop engines, they
aremostly used where high-performance short-takeoff and landing
(STOL) capability andefficiency at modest flight speeds are required.
The most common application of turbopropengines in civilian aviation
is in small commuter aircraft, where their greater reliabilitythan
reciprocating engines offsets their higher initial cost. Turboprop
airliners now operateat near the same speed as small turbofan-
powered aircraft but burn two-thirds of the fuelper passenger.[2]
However, compared to a turbojet (which can fly at high altitude
forenhanced speed and fuel consumption) a propeller aircraft has a
much lower ceiling.Turboprop-powered aircraft have become popular
for bush airplanes such as the CessnaCaravan and Quest Kodiak as jet
fuel is easier to obtain in remote areas than is aviation-grade gasoline
(avgas).[citation needed][edit]Technological aspectsFlow past a
turboprop engine in operationMuch of the jet thrust in a turboprop is
sacrificed in favor of shaft power, which is obtainedby extracting
additional power (up to that necessary to drive the compressor) from
turbine
Expansion. While the power turbine may be integral with the gas
generator section, many turboprops today feature a free power turbine
on a separate coaxial shaft. This enables the propeller to rotate freely,
independent of compressor speed. Owing to the additional expansion
in the turbine system, the residual energy in the exhaust jet is low.
Consequently,the exhaust jet produces (typically) less than 10% of the
total thrust.[citation needed]Propellers are not efficient when the tips
reach or exceed supersonic speeds. For thisreason, a reduction gearbox
is placed in the drive line between the power turbine and thepropeller
to allow the turbine to operate at its most efficient speed while the
propeller operates at its most efficient speed. The gearbox is part of the
engine and contains theparts necessary to operate a constant speed
propeller. This differs from the turboshaft engines used in helicopters,
where the gearbox is remote from the engine.[citation needed]Residual
thrust on a turboshaft is avoided by further expansion in the turbine
system and/ortruncating and turning the exhaust 180 degrees, to
produce two opposing jets. Apart from the above, there is very little
difference between a turboprop and a turboshaft.[citation
needed]While most modern turbojet and turbofan engines use axial-
flow compressors, turbopropengines usually contain at least one stage
of centrifugal compression. Centrifugalcompressors have the advantage
of being simple and lightweight, at the expense of astreamlined
shape.[citation needed]Propellers lose efficiency as aircraft speed
increases, so turboprops are normally not usedon high-speed aircraft.
However, propfan engines, which are very similar to turbopropengines,
can cruise at flight speeds approaching Mach 0.75. To increase the
efficiency ofthe propellers, a mechanism can be used to alter the pitch,
thus adjusting the pitch to theairspeed. A variable pitch propeller, also
called a controllable pitch propeller, can also beused to generate
negative thrust while decelerating on the runway. Additionally, in the
eventof an engine outage, the pitch can be adjusted to a vaning pitch
(called feathering), thusminimizing the drag of the non-functioning
propeller.[citation needed]Some commercial aircraft with turboprop
engines include the Bombardier Dash 8, ATR42, ATR 72, BAe Jetstream
31, Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia, Fairchild SwearingenMetroliner, Saab
340 and 2000,Xian MA60, Xian MA600, and Xian MA700.[citation
needed][edit]
Turbofan The turbofan is a type of airbreathing jet engine that is
widely used for aircraft propulsion. The turbofan isbasically the
combination of two engines, the turbo portion which is a conventional
gas turbine [1]engine, and the fan, a propeller-like ducted fan. The
engine produces thrust through a combination ofthese two portions
working in concert; engines that use more jet thrust relative to fan
thrust are knownas low bypass turbofans, while those that have
considerably more fan thrust than jet are known as highbypass. Most
commercial aviation jet engines in use today are of the high-bypass
type, and most modernmilitary engines are low-bypass,The fan serves
two duties. Part of the airstream from the fan passes through the core,
providing oxygento burn fuel to create power. However, the rest of the
air flow bypasses the engine core and mixes withthe faster stream from
the core at the back of the engine. As engine noise is a function of
exhausttemperature, turbofan engines are significantly quieter than a
pure-jet of the same thrust. Additionally, theefficiency of propulsion is
a function of the relative airspeed of the exhaust to the surrounding
air;propellers are most efficient for low speed, pure jets for high
speeds, and ducted fans in the middle.Turbofans are thus the most
efficient engines in the range of speeds from about 500 to 1000 km/h,
the [2][3]speed at which most commercial aircraft operate. Turbofans
retain an efficiency edge over pure jets atlow supersonic speeds up to
roughlyMach 1.6, but have also been found to be efficient when used
withcontinuous afterburner at Mach 3 and above. However, the lower
exhaust speed also reduces thrust athigh vehicle speeds.The vast
majority of turbofans follow the same basic design with a large fan at
the front of the engine witha relatively small jet engine behind it. There
have been a number of variations on this theme, however,including
rear-mounted fans where they can be easily added to an existing pure-
jet design, or designsthat combine a low-pressure turbine and a fan
stage in a single rear-mounted unit
Turbofans were developed to combine some of the best features of
the turbojet and the turboprop. Turbofan engines are designed to
create additional thrust by diverting asecondary 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 by passes the engine core. It is this bypass
stream of air that is responsible for the term “bypassengine.” A
turbofan’s bypass ratio refers to the ratio of the mass airflow that
passes throughthe fan divided by the mass airflow that passes through
the engine core.TurboshaftThe fourth common type of jet engine is the
turboshaft. It delivers power to a shaft thatdrives something other than
a propeller. The biggest difference between a turbojet andturboshaft
engine is that on a turboshaft engine, most of the energy produced by
theexpanding gases is used to drive a turbine rather than produce
thrust. Many helicopters usea turboshaft gas turbine engine. In
addition, turboshaft engines are widely used as auxiliarypower units on
large aircraft.
Turboshaft engine is made up of two major parts assemblies: the
gas generator and the power section.The gas generator consists of
thecompressor, combustion chambers with ignitors and fuel nozzles,
andone or more stages of turbine. The power section consists of
additional stages of turbines, a gearreduction system, and the shaft
output. The gas generator creates the hot expanding gases to drive
thepower section. Depending on the design, the engine accessories
may be driven either by the gasgenerator or by the power section.In
most designs the gas generator and power section are mechanically
separate so that they may eachrotate at different speeds appropriate
for the conditions. This is referred to as a free power turbine. A
freepower turbine can be an extremely useful design feature for
vehicles, as it allows the design to forego theweight and cost of
complex multi-ratio transmissions and clutches.The general layout of a
turboshaft is similar to that of a turboprop. The main difference is that
a turbopropis structurally designed to support the loads created by a
rotating propeller, as the propeller is notattached to anything but the
engine itself. In contrast, turboshaft engines usually drive a
transmission which is not structurally attached to the engine. The
transmission is attached to the vehicle structure andsupports the loads
created instead of the engine. However, in practice many of the same
engines arebuilt in both turboprop and turboshaft versions, with only
minor differences .An unusual example of the turboshaft principle is
the Pratt & Whitney F135-PW-600 engine forthe STOVL F-35B - in
conventional mode it operates as a turbofan, but when powering the
Lift Fan and its witches partially to turboshaft mode to send power
forward through a shaft (like a turboprop) and partially to turbojet
mode to continue to send thrust to the rear nozzle.
Parts of a Jet Engine Fan - The fan is the first component in a
turbofan. The large spinning fan sucks in large quantities of air. Most
blades of the fan are made of titanium. It then speeds this air up and
splits it into two parts. One part continues through the "core" or center
of the jet engine, where it is acted upon by the other jet engine
components. The second part "bypasses" the core of the jet engine. It
goes through a ductthat surrounds the core to the back of the jet
engine where it produces much of the forcethat propels the airplane
forward. This cooler air helps to quiet the jet engine as well asadding
thrust to the jet engine.Compressor - The compressor is the first
component in the jet engine core.The compressor is made up of fans
with many blades and attached to a shaft.The compressor squeezes the
air that enters it into progressively smallerareas, resulting in an
increase in the air pressure. This results in an increase inthe energy
potential of the air. The squashed air is forced into the
combustionchamber.Combustor - In the combustor the air is mixed
with fuel and then ignited.There are as many as 20 nozzles to spray fuel
into the airstream. The mixture of air andfuel catches fire. This provides
a high temperature, high-energy airflow. The fuel burns withthe oxygen
in the compressed air, producing hot expanding gases. The inside of the
combustor is often made of ceramic materials to provide a heat-
resistant chamber. The heat can reach 2700°.Turbine - The high-energy
airflow coming out of the combustor goes into the turbine ,causing the
turbine blades to rotate. The turbines are linked by a shaft to turn the
blades inthe compressor and to spin the intake fan at the front. This
rotation takes some energyfrom the high-energy flow that is used to
drive the fan and the compressor. The gasesproduced in the
combustion chamber move through the turbine and spin its blades. The
Turbines of the jet spin around thousands of times. They are fixed
on shafts which haveseveral sets of ball-bearing in between
them.Nozzle - The nozzle is the exhaust duct of the jet engine. This is
the jet engine part whichactually produces the thrust for the plane. The
energy depleted airflow that passed theturbine, in addition to the
colder air that bypassed the engine core, produces a force whenexiting
the nozzle that acts to propel the engine, and therefore the airplane,
forward. Thecombination of the hot air and cold air are expelled and
produce an exhaust, which causes aforward thrust. The nozzle may be
preceded by a mixer, which combines the hightemperature air coming
from the jet engine core with the lower temperature air that
wasbypassed in the fan. The mixer helps to make the jet engine
quieter.HOW A JET ENGINE WORKSThis is a picture of how the air flows
through a jet engine.Jet engines move the airplane forward with a great
force that is produced by a tremendousthrust and causes the plane to
fly very fast.All jet engines, which are also called gas turbines, work on
the same principle. The enginesucks air in at the front with a fan. A
compressor raises the pressure of the air. Thecompressor is made up of
fans with many blades and attached to a shaft. The bladescompress the
air. The compressed air is then sprayed with fuel and an electric spark
lightsthe mixture. The burning gases expand and blast out through the
nozzle, at the back of theengine. As the jets of gas shoot backward, the
engine and the aircraft are thrust forward.The image above shows how
the air flows through the engine. The air goes through the coreof the
engine as well as around the core. This causes some of the air to be
very hot andsome to be cooler. The cooler air then mixes with the hot
air at the engine exit area.A jet engine operates on the application of
Sir Isaac Newtons third law of physics: for everyaction there is an equal
and opposite reaction. This is called thrust. This law isdemonstrated in
simple terms by releasing an inflated balloon and watching the
escaping airpropel the balloon in the opposite direction. In the basic
turbojet engine, air enters the frontintake and is compressed, then
forced into combustion chambers where fuel is sprayed intoit and the
mixture is ignited. Gases which form expand rapidly and are exhausted
throughthe rear of the combustion chambers. These gases exert equal
force in all directions,providing forward thrust as they escape to the
rear. As the gases leave the engine, theypass through a fan-like set of
blades (turbine) which rotates the turbine shaft. This shaft, inturn,
rotates the compressor, thereby bringing in a fresh supply of air
through the intake.Engine thrust may be increased by the addition of
an afterburner section in which extra fuelis sprayed into the exhausting
gases which burn to give the added thrust. At approximately
1400 mph, one pound of thrust equals one horsepower, but at higher
speeds this ratioincreases and a pound of thrust is greater than one
horsepower. At speeds of less than 400mph, this ratio decreases.In a
turboprop engine, the exhaust gases are also used to rotate a propeller
attached to theturbine shaft for increased fuel economy at lower
altitudes. A turbofan engine incorporates afan to produce additional
thrust, supplementing that created by the basic turbojet engine,for
greater efficiency at high altitudes. The advantages of jet engines over
piston enginesinclude lighter weight with greater power, simpler
construction and maintenance with fewermoving parts, and efficient
operation with cheaper fuelRAMJETA ramjet, sometimes referred to as
a stovepipe jet, or an athodyd, is a form of airbreathing jetengine using
the engines forward motion to compress incoming air, without a rotary
compressor. Ramjetscannot produce thrust at zero airspeed and thus
cannot move an aircraft from a standstill. Ramjetsrequire considerable
forward speed to operate well, and as a class work most efficiently at
speedsaround Mach 3. This type of jet can operate up to speeds of
Mach 6.Ramjets can be particularly useful in applications requiring a
small and simple engine for high speed use,such as missiles, while
weapon designers are looking to use ramjet technology in artillery
shells to giveadded range: it is anticipated that a 120-mm mortar shell,
if assisted by a ramjet, could attain a range of [1]22 mi (35 km). They
have also been used successfully, though not efficiently, as tip [2]jets
on helicopterrotors.Ramjets are frequently confused with pulsejets,
which use an intermittent combustion, but ramjets employa continuous
combustion process, and are a quite distinct type of jet engine.DESIGNA
ramjet is designed around its inlet. An object moving at high speed
through air generates a highpressure region in front and a low pressure
region to the rear. A ramjet uses this high pressure in front ofthe
engine to force air through the tube, where it is heated by combusting
some of it with fuel. It is thenpassed through a nozzle to accelerate it to
supersonic speeds. This acceleration gives the ramjetforward thrust.
A ramjet Engine is sometimes referred to as a flying stovepipe, a
very simple device comprising an air intake, acombustor, and a nozzle.
Normally the only moving parts are those within the turbopump, which
pumpsthe fuel to the combustor in a liquid-fuel ramjet. Solid-fuel
ramjets are even simpler.By way of contrast, a turbojet uses a gas
turbine driven fan to compress the air further. This gives
greatercompression and efficiency and far more power at low speeds,
where the ram effect is weak, but is alsomore complex, heavier and
expensive, and the temperature limits of the turbine section limit the
topspeed and thrust at high speed What is Thrust? Thrust is the
forward force that pushes the engine and, therefore, the
airplaneforward. Sir Isaac Newton discovered that for "every action
there is an equal andopposite reaction." An engine uses this principle.
The engine takes in a large volume ofair. The air is heated and
compressed and slowed down. The air is forced through manyspinning
blades. By mixing this air with jet fuel, the temperature of the air can be
as highas three thousand degrees. The power of the air is used to turn
the turbine. Finally,when the air leaves, it pushes backward out of the
engine. This causes the plane tomove forward. ROCKET ENGINE [1]A
rocket engine, or simply "rocket", is a jet engine that uses only
propellant mass for forming its highspeed propulsive jet. Rocket
engines are reaction engines and obtain thrust in accordance with
Newtonsthird law. Since they need no external material to form their
jet, rocket engines can be used forspacecraftpropulsion as well as
terrestrial uses, such as missiles. Most rocket engines are internal
combustionengines, although non combusting forms also exist.Rocket
engines as a group have the highest exhaust velocities, are by far the
lightest, but are the leastpropellant efficient of all types of jet
engines.Rocket engines produce thrust by the expulsion of a high-speed
fluid exhaust. This fluid is nearly alwaysa gas which is created by high
pressure (10-200 bar) combustion of solid or liquid propellants,
consistingof fuel and oxidiser components, within a combustion
chamber.
The fluid exhaust is then passed through a supersonic propelling
nozzle which uses heat energy of the gas to accelerate the exhaust to
very high speed, and the reaction to this pushes the engine in the
opposite direction .In rocket engines, high temperatures and pressures
are highly desirable for good performance as this permits a longer
nozzle to be fitted to the engine, which gives higher exhaust speeds, as
well as giving better thermodynamic efficiency .Uses of jet engines A
JT9D turbofan jet engine undergoing maintenance on a Boeing 747
aircraft Jet engines are usually used as aircraft engines for jet aircraft.
They are also used for cruisemissiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. In
the form of rocket engines they are used for fireworks, model rocketry,
spaceflight, andmilitary missiles.Jet engines have also been used to
propel high speed cars, particularly drag racers, with the all-timerecord
held by a rocket car. A turbofan powered carThrustSSC currently holds
the land speed record.Jet engine designs are frequently modified for
non-aircraft applications, as industrial gas turbines. Theseare used in
electrical power generation, for powering water, natural gas, or oil
pumps, and providingpropulsion for ships and locomotives. Industrial
gas turbines can create up to 50,000 shaft horsepower.Many of these
engines are derived from older military turbojets such as the Pratt &
Whitney J57 and J75models. There is also a derivative of the P&W JT8D
low-bypass turbofan that creates up to 35,000 HP.
CONCLUSION
Basically Industrial Training is Meant to express the individual to industrial atmosphere and also to
understand the basic structure and working principle of an organization.
This training apart from adding values towards particular knowledge has also helped in gaining practical
knowledge about working of various mechanical equipment .It also instructed us about the complex
activities and management rules involved in a larger organization .Thus the training program has added
impetus to both engineering knowledge and management skills which will definitely impact positively in
our carrier.
