    The Lycoming T53-L-1 turboshaft engine produces 641 kW of power at 21,510 rpm. It uses a five-stage axial compressor and single-stage centrifugal compressor to intake and compress air for combustion. The combustor is a reverse-flow design with 11 fuel nozzles. Power is extracted by a single-stage axial gas generator turbine and single-stage axial free power turbine.

    Lycoming T53-L-1 (LTC1B-1) Turboshaft Engine

    Type: Turboshaft
    Power: 641 kw (860 hp) at 21,510 rpm
    Compressor: Five-stage axial, single-stage centrifugal
    Combustor: Reverse flow, 11 fuel nozzles
    Turbine: Single-stage axial gas generator, single-stage axial free power

    1. THE GAS TURBINE CYCLE/ 4 STAGES


    The basic 4 steps for any internal combustion engine are:
    1. Intake of air (and possibly fuel).
    2. Compression of the air (and possibly fuel).
    3. Combustion, where fuel is injected (if it was not drawn in with the intake air) and burned to
    convert the stored energy.
    4. Expansion and exhaust, where the converted energy is put to use.

    2. THE TURBINE HAS ENGINE SECTIONS CALLED:


    1. The inlet section
    2. The compressor section
    3. The combustion section (the combustor)
    4. The turbine (and exhaust) section

    3. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A RECIPROCATING ENGINE AND TURBINE ENGINE?

    The primary difference between gas turbine and reciprocating engine is that reciprocating
    engines convert pressure into rotating motion using pistons, while a gas turbine engine, or a
    combustion turbine, uses the pressure from the exploding fuel to turn a turbine and produce
    thrust.

    4. HOW WILL YOU KNOW IF WHICH IS THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE ON THE ENGINE?

    Right and left sides for the engine are determined by viewing the engine from the rear.

    5. WHAT IS A DIFFUSER

    Diffuser is one key component of the gas turbine combustor following the compressor. Its
    primary function is to slow down the air flow delivered by the compressor in order to promote
    efficient combustion and avoid large total pressure losses.

    The diffuser is the divergent section of the engine after the compressor and before the
    combustion section. It has the all-important function of reducing high-velocity compressor
    discharge air to increased pressure at a slower velocity.

    6. WHERE ARE THE AIR BLEED PORTS LOCATED? AND WHAT ARE THEIR FUNCTIONS?
    Located in the compressor and impeller housing. Bleed air ports are small openings in the
    compressor case at the associated compressor stage
    7. THE TWO ROTATING ASSEMBLIES OF THE TURBINE SECTION
    The two rotating assemblies are known as the gas producer, sometimes referred to as the N1 or
    first stage, and the power turbine N2 or second stage.

    8. WHAT TYPE OF COMBUSTOR DOES A T-53 LYCOMING HAVE?


    A Reverse-flow combustor

    9. ADVANTAGES OF A REVERSE-FLOW COMBUSTOR


    Reduce the length of the gas turbine and make the transportation much easier.

    10. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AXIAL AND CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS


    11. What is the function of the compressor in an aircraft?
    The compressor functions to increase the pressure of the air to provide conditions favorable for
    combustion and expansion of the hot gases through the turbine.
