Question

What is Jet turbine?

Answer 1

A basic jet turbine engine consists of compressor section, combustor section and turbine section. Air is compressed on the compressor section by a series/stages of blades, it then flows thru the combustor section where it is sprayed with fuel thru fuel spray nozzle and ignited by igniter plug. The ignited fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber then expands and flows thru a series/stages of blades in the turbine section which rotates the turbine w/c drives the compressor.

Answer 2

A jet engine is a reaction engine that discharges a fast moving jet of fluid to generate thrust in accordance with Newton's laws of motion. This broad definition of jet engines includes turbojets, turbofans, rockets, ramjets, pulse jets and pump-jets. In general, most jet engines are internal combustion engines but non-combusting forms also exist.

In common usage, the term 'jet engine' generally refers to a gas turbine driven internal combustion engine, an engine with a rotary compressor powered by a turbine ("Brayton cycle"), with the leftover power providing thrust. These types of jet engines are primarily used by jet aircraft for long distance travel. The early jet aircraft used turbojet engines which were relatively inefficient for subsonic flight. Modern jet aircraft usually use high-bypass turbofan engines which help give high speeds as well as, over long distances, giving better fuel efficiency than many other forms of transport.

Answer 3

It is basically a part f the jet engine:

Good Luck....

Answer 4

A turbine powered by a jet of hot gases generated by combustion.

contrast it to water turbine... for illustration.
