1. JET ENGINES

2. History Of Jet Engines:-
 The jet engine was built by
Egyptian scientists during 150
B.C.
 This device was know as
Aeolipile.
 Dr. Hans von Ohain and Sir
Frank Whittle were the main
developers.

3. Aeolipile:-

4. Introduction:-
 Jet engine is a reaction engine discharging a
fast moving jet that generates thrust by jet
propulsion in accordance with Newton’s third
law of motion.
 Jet engine moves the airplane forward with a
great force that is produced by a tremendous
thrust and causes the plane to fly very fast.

5. Parts Of Jet Engine:-
 FAN
 COMPRESSOR
COMBUSTOR
TURBINE
MIXER
NOZZLE

6. Working of Jet Engine:-
 The Engine takes a large volume of air.
 The Air is heated, compressed and slowed down.
 The Air is forced through many spinning blades.
 By mixing this air with jet fuel, the temperature of air reach
up to 3000 degrees. The power of air is used to turn the
turbines.
 Finally, when the air leaves, it pushes backward out of the
engine.
This causes the plane to move forward.

Types of Jet Engines:-

8. Ramjet:-
 It is the most simple jet
Engine.
 It has no moving parts.
 It develops no static thrust.
 It requires another aircraft
to assist take off.
 Use:- In Guided-missile
systems, space vehicles.

9.  Turbojet sucks in air &
compress or squeezes it.
 All thrust produced by hot,
high-speed exhaust gases.
 The gases flow through
turbine & make it spin.
 These gases bounce back &
shoot out the rear of the
exhaust, pushing plane
forward.
Turbojet:-

10. Turbofan:-
 A large fan at the front,
which sucks in air.
 Some portion of air
goes into the
combustion chamber.
 Remaining air :---
 Passes through a fan or
 Low-pressure compressor
or

11.  Remaining air :--- (Cont.)
 is ejected directly as a
cold jet or
 mixed with the gas-
generator exhaust to
produce a hot jet.
 Objective of this bypass
system is to increase
thrust without increasing
fuel consumption.
Use :-
Most of today’s
airlines are powered
by turbofans.

12.  It a jet engine
attached to a propeller.
 Working:-
 The turbine at back
is turned by the hot
gases & this turns a
shaft that drives the
propeller.
Turboprop:-

13.  Modern turboprop engines are equipped with
propellers that have a smaller diameter but a
larger number of blades for efficient operation
at much higher flight speeds.
 Some small airlines & transport aircraft are
powered by turboprops.

14.  It operates much like a
turboprop system.
 Instead of propeller, it
provides power for a
helicopter rotor.
 The speed of
helicopter rotor is
independent of speed
of gas generator.
Turbo shafts:-

15.  This permits the rotor speed to be kept
constant even when the speed of the generator
is varied.

16.  The industry they’re most prominent in is in the
transport industry, where they are used to propel
aircraft, boats and in some one of creations such as a
turbojet powered truck.
 The first use of the jet engine was to power military
aircraft.
 The jet engine is not only used on aircraft but on
boats, where water jets are used to propel the boat
forward.
