PART FUNCTIONS: 1. Air leaves the engine through the nozzle where exhaust
pressure is matched with atmospheric pressure. 2. Air flows through the inlet through
a duct and out the nozzle. The air leaves the engine at a higher velocity than when it
entered. The passage through which the air travels is called the by-pass duct. 3. The
fast moving air causes the blades of the turbine to turn, generating energy which is
used to power other parts of the engine. 4. Consists of multiple rows of blades which
turn and make the air denser. 5. The compressed air flows into the combustor where
a spray of fuel is added and ignited. 6. Accelerates air into the jet engine. Fans are
used for efficiency.

2. Choose 4 of the terms above. Write a sentence with each one:
Compressor : N1 is the rotational speed of the low pressure turbine and compressor
spool expressed as a percentage of the maximum normal operating RPM of the spool
Nozzle :The core is very similar to a basic turbojet except that instead of expanding all the hot
exhaust through the nozzle to produce thrust
Combustion chamber: is the area where the fuel is mixed with the air intake
Turbine :A gas turbine is a rotary engine that extracts energy from a flow of combustión gases
