Turbojet and Turbofan Engines Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1. What two ways may the Fan be driven in a turbofan engine? | Through the gas generator turbine or a free-power turbine. |
| 2. How is a turbojet constructed? | Inlet, compressor, burner, turbine, exhaust nozzle. |
| 3. How does a turbojet produce thrust? | By greatly accelerating a small mass of air and expanding the gases leaving the exhaust nozzle |
| 4. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the turbojet? | Best high speed and high altitude performance. Highest TSFC. Longest takeoff. |
| 5. How is a turbofan constructed? | Fan. compressor, burner, turbine, exhaust nozzle. |
| 6. How does a turbo fan produce thrust? | Fan pushes a large mass of air and provides 30-60% of the thrust. |
| 7. How mush thrust is produced by the fan on a turbo fan? and Gas Generator | 30-60% from fan. 40-70% from the gas generator exhaust gases |
| 8. What is meant by "bypass air"? | Airflow from the fan is bypassed around the gas generator. |
| 9. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the turbofan? | 1. Better TSFC than a turbojet, shorter take of distance, can lift larger weights. 2. Large frontal areas, slower, and cannot fly as high as turbojet. |
