Turbine Engines Paper One

Complete the assignment and hand in the papers. Use the Powerplant textbooks to find
answers.

1. At what point in an axial flow turbojet engine will the highest gas pressures occur?
1. At the turbine entrance.
2. Within the burner section.
3. At the compressor outlet.

2. One function of the nozzle diaphragm in a turbine engine is,

1. Decrease the velocity of exhaust gases.
2. Center the fuel spray in the combustion chamber.
3. Direct the flow of gases to strike the turbine buckets at a desired angle.

3. The fan rotational speed of a dual axial compressor forward fan engine is the same as the,
1. Low-pressure compressor,
2. Forward turbine wheel,
3. High-pressure compressor.

4. The abbreviation “P” with subscript “t7” used in turbine engine terminology means,
1. The total inlet pressure,
2. Pressure and temperature at station No.7,
3. Total pressure at station No.7.

5. What turbine section provides for proper mixing of fuel and air?
1. Combustion section,
2. Compressor section,
3. Diffuser section.

6. Which statement is true regarding jet engines?

1. At the lower engine speeds, thrust increases rapidly with small increases in RPM,
2. At higher engine speeds, thrust increases rapidly with small increases in RPM,
3. The thrust delivered per pound of air consumed is less at high altitude than at low
altitude.
7. Some high volume turboprop and turbojet engines are equipped with two spools or split
compressors. When these engines are operated at high altitudes, the,
1. Low pressure rotor will increase in speed as the compressor load decreases in the low
density air,
2. Throttle must be retarded to prevent over-speeding of the high pressure rotor due to
the low density air,
3. Low pressure rotor will decrease is speed as the compressor load decreases in the lower
air density.

8. Turbine nozzle diaphragms located on the upstream side of each turbine wheel are used in
the gas turbine engine to,
1. Decrease the velocity of the heated gases flowing past this point,
2. Direct the flow of gases parallel to the vertical line of the turbine blades,
3. Increase the velocity of the heated gases flowing past this point.

9. Where is the highest gas pressure in a turbojet engine?

1. At the outlet of the tailpipe section,
2. At the entrance of the turbine section,
3. In the entrance of the burner section.

10. An exhaust cone placed aft of the turbine in a jet engine will cause the pressure in the first
part of the exhaust duct to,
1. Increase and the velocity to decrease,
2. Increase and the velocity to increase,
3. Decrease and the velocity to increase.
