Study Notes
Formulae for Power and Work
- Power formula: P = W / t
- Work formula: W = F × D
- Substituting work formula into power formula: P = F × D / t
- Simplified power formula: P = F × v, where v is velocity
Worked Example
- A 2500-lb engine is hoisted 9 ft in 2 min, requiring a certain amount of power
Turbofan Engines
- Turbofan engines have turbojet-type cruise speed capability and short-field take-off capability
- Fans produce 30%–90% of total thrust, depending on bypass ratio
- Nearly all present-day airliners use turbofan engines due to fuel efficiency
- Fan can be mounted to front (forward-fan engine) or back (aft-fan engine) of compressor
Bernoulli's Theorem
- "The total energy of a particle in motion is constant at all points on its path at a steady flow"
- In a venturi, pressure is inversely proportional to velocity
- Significance: basic principle of operation of a jet engine
Potential and Kinetic Energy
- Energy is used to perform useful work in a gas turbine engine
- Potential energy: stored energy due to position (e.g., water behind a dam or fuel)
- Kinetic energy: energy possessed by a body due to its motion
- Kinetic energy formula: KE = 1/2 mv^2, where m is mass and v is velocity
- The thrust of the engine is kinetic energy
Conservation of Energy
- "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed"
- The law of conservation of energy applies to turbojet engines
Turbojet Engines
- Turbojet engines use acceleration of airflow to produce thrust
- Suitable for high-speed, high-altitude operations due to enhanced efficiencies
- Basic operating principles: air enters through inlet duct, is compressed, mixed with fuel, and ignited, then exits engine at high velocity, producing thrust
