Study Notes
Engine Types and Characteristics
- GTSIO-520: Indicates a geared, turbosupercharged, injected, opposed engine of 520 in³ displacement.
Heat Transfer Mechanisms
- Heat transfer from cooling fins to air occurs via conduction.
Engine Cylinder Arrangements
- An in-line engine has cylinders arranged in a "V" shape.
- Cylinders can be arranged in a single row parallel to the crankshaft.
- Cylinders can be arranged in two rows perpendicular to the crank-shaft.
- Cylinders can be arranged in a circular pattern.
Radial Engines
- A single-row radial engine has an odd number of cylinders extending radially from the crankshaft's center.
Turbojet Engine Development
- The first practical turbojet engine was developed in England and the US, stemming from breakthroughs by various individuals, including the Wright brothers, George B. Brayton, Gottlieb Daimler, and Frank Whittle.
