Gas Turbine Jet Engine Diagram. The engine extracts chemical energy from fuel and converts it to mechanical energy using the gaseous energy of the working fluid air to drive the engine and propeller which in turn propel the airplane. A typical land based gas turbine is shown in fig.
Gas turbine engine thrust. Fundamentals of gas turbine engines introduction the gas turbine is an internal combustion engine that uses air as the working fluid. An air inlet compressor section combustion section turbine section exhaust section accessory section and the systems necessary for starting lubrication fuel supply and auxiliary purposes such as anti icing cooling and pressurization.
Diagram of the engine arrangement and the typical temperature entropy and pressure volume diagrams of a gas turbine engine are shown in figure 1.
The cfm 56 5 jet engine airbus a320 a 340 schematic model of the jet engine. This simplified diagram shows you the process through which a jet engine converts the energy in fuel into kinetic energy that makes a plane soar through the air. The process to do so is called the brayton cycle. A typical land based gas turbine is shown in fig.
