It impressive to see just how seemingly small some big jet engine parts are. I kept having trouble believing that such a seemingly thin thing could hold an engine together. But you explained fairly well that those bolts only deal with the tension force. And that the rotational force goes through the much more beefy parts. Cheers for the vids.

Cruise and takeoff are different power settings. Something like 100% and 93%... very roughly. Aside from that, aircraft speed does help compressor efficiency due to what is actually called the ram effect.

I was just wondering if less horsepower is required to compress the air when the ram effect occurs and if there is much difference? I was thinking along the lines of a ground based gas turbine vs a jet liner moving at high speed. Is it minimal or a big efficiency changer?

As I said, the ram effect does increase compressor efficiency. Stationary engines are not at much of a disadvantage, because they use a bell mouth inlet fairing, which greatly reduces inlet losses.

@grahamj9101

Sorry, AgentJayZ, but I'm going to disagree with you on this - to a degree. If you want to get an aero-derivative gas turbine, or the (military) aero engine from which it was derived, from cold to full power in as little as a minute, yes you can, but at a price. The Industrial Olympus, which AgentJayZ has shown us (and which I worked on as a young designer) was derived from an engine that would take a fuelled-up Vulcan bomber, with a "bucket of instant sunshine" on board, from a cold engine start to take-off in 40 seconds. However ..... the price to be paid is a nasty thermal shock to the turbine NGVs and blades, plus severe thermal gradients and hence stresses in the turbine (and even the HP compressor) discs, which significantly reduces their lives, as compared to, say, warming up the engine at idle for a couple of minutes, then taking it up to power more gradually. But then, if you wanted to get your H-bomb into the air before you were obliterated by their H-bomb, what the **** OK, there are also potential problems if an engine is not cooled down adequately before shut-down. In aero engines, whether military or civil, there is rarely a problem: typically, they spend more than a few minutes at idle, trundling down the taxiway to wherever they are going to be parked. Nevertheless, I know of one engine that powered a certain SST, which, on occasions, needed a 'debow' procedure to straighten out a thermally distorted HP rotor, to avoid heavy vibration due to unbalance - and there's a military engine out there that has a similar pocedure. In contrast, industrial engines may need to be 'tripped' from high power and that can cause problems - as I discovered to my cost, back in 1974. I have described it before in some detail on this channel, but we had a 'temporary' seizure problem on the Industrial RB211: if it was not shut down after idling for a couple of minutes, or was not restarted from a high power 'trip' within a few minutes, then the HP spool would seize for three or four hours.

Just occurred to me, how's the thermal expansion (of engine/parts) is dealt with when using a tension rod? btw, where is the main/center thrust bearing is located in relation to the joint? I always assumed the splines would facilitate that movement but then we have a tension rod pulling the splines together, so... they can't slide.... *scratching head The stubby tensioner makes sense since it connects the close ends together. that way the far ends is free to move, but the long rods pull the far end to tie the parts together? (also more length of metal and more thermal expansion/contraction to deal with)

Things have gone very quiet (is that a pun?) about that GP7200 engine failure on an Air France A380 last year: I've checked and there are still no updates on the French BEA website. The last I heard, the engine was to go to GE Aircraft Engine Services (formerly BA's engine overhaul facility), at Nantgarw in Wales (less than an hour's drive for me) for investigation. It always irked me that in the latter stages of BA's Concorde operations, Olympus 593s were overhauled by GE.

If being told a simple fact upsets you, then I am sorry for you. When the GE90s have been started on any B777 that I have flown in, there has been a transient high level of vibration and an accompanying high noise level throughout aircraft. The sound and vibration is noticeable, but very transient, and I put it down to the phenomenon known as 'combustion rumble', which is a resonant instability in the combustion process. In comparison, the sound level during the start of a Trent-powered B777 is somewhat lower, but I suspect that it is also caused by a 'combustion rumble', but there is very little vibration.

You are the first KZitem personality that I've encountered that sells their gear through Redbubble, and, in fact, picking up my spiffy Jet City Turbines shirt was the first time I'd ever even heard of the place.

Other channels that I want to support, if they offer shirts at all, they're typically available only in a limited number of colors (perhaps just one) and a limited number of sizes. With Redbubble, I can (apparently) always get what I want. Will you still be able to offer that kind of flexibility with a local supplier?

This is a good question - and I wondered who might be smart enough to ask it! The tooth form of the spline is normally a standard involute, but it doesn't have to be. The clever bit of the design is the angle of the helix: the torque from the turbine tends to screw the the turbine shaft forwards, while the rearward load of the turbine tends to unscrew it. Balance the two opposing effects and all that's needed is a locking device between the two, taking minimal end load. R-R Derby have used this principle for years: it's known as a Lombard coupling and it doubles as an axial adjustment device for the turbine. I designed a helical spline with a Lombard coupling for the IP turbine shaft of the Industrial RB211 back in 1972. The locking sleeve had to be inserted from the rear of the engine on the end of a special tool, which extended the full length of the shaft. After the first field trials engine had been in service for a year or two at Burstall in Canada, we had a report back from TCPL, telling us that they had found the locking sleeve still fixed to the end of the tool. The engine had been running quite happily for over 1,000hrs and the axial position of the IP turbine had not changed. PS One of our service engineers told me that, "Burstall's not the end of the world, but on a clear day you can see it from there!"

Driven or driving (drive) shafts are typically hollow because something like 90% of the load is experienced in the outer circumference. Makes the shaft a whole lot lighter when you remove useless material. Of course, this only applies to torsion and not tension. Hollow bolts need to have a larger diameter to account for loss cross sectional area. Tubes are analogous to pipe, and are used to move fluid. Pipe is measured on the ID and tube on the OD. (I very possibly may have those two reversed)

How would you remove a turbojet engine from its shipping container without damaging it?
@AgentJayZ
6 жыл бұрын
The shipping containers support the engines with their main airframe mounting points. Typically you remove the lid from the container, attach a lifting device to specific lifting points on the engine, and then remove the fasteners from the main mounts. Using a crane to lift up on the lifting device, the engine floats magically into the air, where it can then be placed on another set of main mounts on a work stand or transport trailer.

At the Illinois State Fair I visited the IL National Air Guard Reserve Unit based here in Springfield IL that had on display a GE-110 engine. The young man asked if I had any questions and I thought a few seconds and asked if this engine was a descendent of the GE J-79, and he said, "Oh, no, sir, the 110 is it's own design." I'm not sure he had any freaking idea what I was even talking about because he had the strangest look on his face when I asked.

In my opinion, all jet engines build upon what was learned from their predecessors. All modern engines are descendants of all those that came before.

All of the 3D "models" I've seen are so simplified and inaccurate that they would not be useful for training purposes. To call them "exact' in any way is a joke.

@@AgentJayZ ah okay. Maybe if there ar so many blueprints out there maybe i can make a model myself. I am planning on using it for personal projects like 3d printing or machining a small scale "semi functional" display model. (functional as in its shaft and spins, the stators rotate etc). Thanks a lot for your replies! Your videos are amazing.

Yeah... let me explain a bit. I did not mean that there are thousands of blueprints out there, each of a J79... What i meant was that to make a J79, it requires thousands of blueprints. I small scale semi functional model of any jet engine would be quite impressive. I would enjoy seeing that.

Jay: just to indicate what I see as zero to poor understanding a lady who's vehicle I jump started (engine did not turn over but only a clicking sound was heard) thought the fuel pump could be bad. What the technical types we are take as understanding is based on principles of organization, design, and for an engine its' start sequence.

Always great videos! I really appreciate that you do not tolerate the online keyboard trolls. As well your in-depth explanations of how these engines work is awesome. I use to weld combuster casings for helicopters engines in military applications, so we were kept in the dark as to how any and everything worked together. Thanks for all your time! Cheers

Love your videos. You have awesome teaching skills, in addition to superb technical knowledge. Wish I had more instructors like you in college. I have a question, and perhaps you've already answered it. Q: What keeps the high-pressure gasses in the combustion stage from coming out the front? Isn't the pressure in the combustion stage greater than the pressure in the compressor? Dave in Texas Peace
@AgentJayZ

Pressure does not rise in the combustion area when the fuel is burned. These are not piston engines.
@walkonfire

AgentJayZ I believe you, just wondering why not? Is there no back pressure from the turbine nozzles, turbine and turkey feathers when they constrict? Obviously the answer has to be “yes, but not equal to the pressure from the compressor.” So I guess my question really is, what does the pressure gradient look like from inlet to exhaust? Thanks for your time and response. Love the vids.
@AgentJayZ
4 жыл бұрын
There is no pressure rise due to the heat of combustion. The exhaust nozzle does not constrict. It opens up from it's "normal" area as the afterburner raises the temp of the gases. In my series Jet Engine Diagrams we look at the pressure, temperature and velocity profile through a turbojet engine.
