Parts of the Gas Turbine
Parts of the Gas Turbine
Gas TurbineA type of internal combustion engineIt has an upstream rotating compressor and a downstream rotating turbine and a combustor in-between.
Parts of the Gas Turbine1.) InletBrings free stream air to the engineThree types of Inlet:a.) Subsonic Inletb.) Supersonic Inletc.) Hypersonic Inlet
Parts of the Gas Turbine
Parts of the Gas TurbineCompressor
Parts of the Gas Turbine2.) CompressorIncrease the pressure of the incoming air before it enters the combustorLarge influence to engines performance

Parts of the Gas TurbineTurbine
Parts of the Gas Turbine3.) TurbineExtract energy on the hot air flow from the burner
Parts of the Gas Turbine
Parts of the Gas Turbine4.) Burner heats the air at constant pressureAlso known as a combustor or a combustion chamber
Parts of the Gas Turbine5.) NozzleIt is use to produce thrust

Jet EngineOne type of a Gas TurbineThe power plant of today's aircraftsIt produces thrustIt gives power to the aircraft’s whole system
Jet Engine
Jet EngineCowling – an external casing that opens outward to have an access to inspectionsPylon – a metal arm that connects the wing of the plane and the enginemust be very strong, since an engine can weigh up to 10,000 pounds
Jet EngineTitanium - Strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, thermally stable componentIt is very difficult to shape, its extreme hardness renders it strong when subjected to intense heat
TitaniumTo improve its malleability, it is often alloyed with other metals such as Nickel and Aluminum

Manufacturing
Fan Blades
Fan BladesEach fan blade consists of two blade skins produced by shaping molten titanium in a hot pressWhen removed, each blade skin is welded to a mate, with a hollow cavity in the center. To increase the strength of the final product, this cavity is filled with a titanium honeycomb.
Compressor Disk
Compressor DiskFor a long time, the most popular way to manufacture the disc entailed machine-cutting a metal blank into a rough approximation of the desired shape, then heating and stamping it to precise specificationsToday, they use powder metallurgy
Turbine Blades
Turbine Bladesare made by forming wax copies of the blades and then immersing the copies in a ceramic slurry bath. After each copy is heated to harden the ceramic and melt the wax, molten metal is poured into the hollow left by the melted wax.
Compressor Blades
Compressor BladesCasting- an extremely old method, is still used to form the compressor blades. In this process, the alloy from which the blades will be formed is poured into a ceramic mold, heated in a furnace, and cooled. When the mold is broken off, the blades are machined to their final shape
Combustion Chamber
Combustion ChamberWelded together before being mounted on the engine.Made of titanium
Exhaust SystemThe inner duct and the afterburners of the exhaust system are molded from titaniumwhile the outer duct and the nacelle (the engine casing) are formed from Kevlar
