9. Jet Engines –Basic Operation
•Air enters the trough the intake duct (cowl).
•Air compressed by passage through the compressor.
•Mixed with fuel in the combustion chamber.
•Fuel is ignited, Pressure and Temperature
raised
•Some of the pressure used to turn a turbine;
•Turbine shaft drives the compressor.
•Hot, high pressure air forced through a nozzle.
•The reaction force is the engine thrust.
