    The document summarizes how jet aircraft engines work. It explains that air enters the fan and passes through the core which includes the compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine. The core creates high pressure gas to power the turbine. The core is divided into compressor, combustor, and turbine sections. The compressor increases the air pressure in stages. In the combustor, fuel is mixed with compressed air and ignited. The exhaust gases power the turbine which turns the compressor and fan. High bypass engines move more air at slower speeds for efficiency while low bypass engines have higher power density.

    How engines
    Work

    All jet engines works similarly. The


    air is entered in the engine through
    the fan. Than it goes through the
    Core, in which it passes through
    compressor combustion chamber
    and turbine. Then it is repelled
    through exhaust cone.
    Turbo fan
    A turbo fan is a high-tech propeller
    inside of a duct called diffuser. It is
    driven by a gas generator.
    The Core
    The core of a jet engine is a gas
    generator that creates high
    pressure gas to power a turbine.
    Parts of Core
    The core is divided into three parts:
    1.Compressor
    2.Combustor
    3.Turbine Sections
    Compressor
    Compressed air makes for a much more
    powerful combustion reaction relative to
    engine size. Compression happens in
    stages that force incoming air into an
    increasingly narrow chamber.
    Compressor Stages
    A single compressor stage is comprised of a
    spinning rotor paired with a ring of
    stationary stator vanes which are attached
    to core casing. The compressor has 4 low
    pressure and 10 high pressure stages.
    Combustor
    Air is mixed with fuel and ignited as it
    passes through the conductor releasing a
    jet of super high power gas. The design
    shown here is an annular combustor,
    meaning “ring shaped”.
    Inlet nozzle
    Compressed air enters the inlet nozzle.
    Each nozzle is coupled with a fuel injector
    and is designed to swirl the incoming fuel
    and air for an even mix
    Ignitor Plug
    A couple of ignitor plugs, ignite this
    mixture and the reaction spreads evenly
    around the ring, Once started
    combustion continues as long as air and
    fuel is supplied.
    Turbine Sections
    Turbines at the rear of the jet engines are
    powered by exhaust gases exiting the combustor.
    Most of the turbine power is used to turn the fan
    while a smaller percentage powers the
    compressor stages. Turbine fins gets extremely
    hot. Some air from the compressor is diverted for
    cooling, and special coatings are used to keep
    temperatures down.
    The Exhaust Cone
    The exhaust cone is specially
    shaped to mix and accelerate
    exhaust streams. It also covers
    sensitive internal engine parts.
    The Fan
    Most modern winged aircraft engines are
    turbofans, Where only a fraction of air
    enters the core gas generator, and the
    resulting power turns a specially designed
    fan. The fan can be thought of as a high-
    tech propeller inside of a duct.
    High-Bypass Engine
    Air that does not enters Hight bypass
    engines are designed to move large
    quantities of air at slower cruising speeds
    a ranged of about 310 mph to 630 mph.
    The exchange for high efficiency is engine
    size. High bypass engines can be very
    large with massive fans compared to core
    size. Commercial airliners or military
    transport aircraft are example
    application.
    Exhaust Velocity
    Exhaust velocity is a major factor in jet engine noise. High-
    bypass engines surround fast moving core exhaust with
    large quantities of slower moving bypass air for quieter
    operation.
    Low bypass engine
    Military air crafts use low bypass engines, Which are
    more compact, have high power to weight ratio and
    also supersonic and after burner capabilities in
    exchange for things like poor noise control and high
    fuel consumption.
    Low bypass engine and High bypass engine
    After Burner
    High performance engines may have
    after burner capability. Additional fuel
    is sprayed into a jet pipe section
    where it mixes with exhaust gas, and
    is ignited producing a second stage of
    combustion. Since after burner is fuel
    insufficient, it’s generally used in short
    bursts during takeoff, climb or
    combat maneuvers.
    Other types of Jet engines:
    1.Turbo jet
    2. Turbo prop
    3.Turbo shaft
    4.Ram jet
