    Just a small note b/c i'm a picky engineer. If you do (66,000 ft lb) x (3000 rev/ 60 sec) you get 3,300,000 ft lb/sec and since 1 hp = 550 ft lb/ sec, you get 6,000 hp, which is not right. Shaft Power is calculated as P = 2 x pi x rev/sec x Torque So if you multiply the 6000 hp x 2 pi you get about 37,700 hp which is a bit closer to that nominal rating of 34,800 hp.
    Thanks for clearing up the thermocouples thing for me! You explained it perfectly! Thanks for taking the time to do this Jay!

    Subsonic aerodynamics is one of the most misunderstood subjects out there.
    This inlet was designed originally as part of a large turbofan aircraft engine.
    The bulletnose is so big that it forces any small particles of debris in the airstream to be deflected radially outwards toward the bypass duct and go through the fan.
    Only the much lighter "particles" of air can turn the corner around the bulging nose and make it into the fuel-burning core. So the airliner engine eats clean air.

  • @AgentJayZ

    A water wash is cool, because you can see the water going in the front.
    Water injection happens in the combustors, and there's no visible steam, so I don't know what you'd notice. The exhaust might change in appearance.
    The old jets would make a lot of black smoke when they used the water, but propane doesn't make soot like jet fuel.

    Hey, you asked. The LP compressor is enlarged to become the fan. The first stage of it, anyway.
    Compressors and fans are devices that consume torque and produce air movement.
    Turbines are devices that consume (hot!) air movement and produce torque.
    Lot of people seem to not think of it that way. I'm always here to help 'em.

    I know of a man who was one of the engineers on the Beech Starship. Not only did each propeller blade encounter extreme thermal shock when it rotated past the exhaust stacks for the engine, the resulting change in air density and velocity created a change in lift (thrust) over that section of the blade, setting in motion a mechanical oscillation and made the blades more prone to fatigue.

  • @AgentJayZ
    @AgentJayZ  12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Well, the CFM56 is one of the engines I have not worked on, so I don't know exactly where anything is... but TIT is turbine inlet temperature, and is not usually directly measured because the temp is so high that thermocouples don't last very long in that location. ITT would be inter-turbine temperature, and is the temperature after the HP but before the LP turbine in this two-shaft engine.

    Hello again JayZ, I have 3 new questions for you: 1) Hypothetically, what would happen if you would put 2 PT after each other. For example 2 of the one at 7:17. I know that it won't give you more power but why? 2) What is the difference between a 5 stage PT and a single stage PT (except of the obvoius stages)? How can simply one layer of blades be as effective as 5 of them? 3) How does a turbofan (like the CF6) get power to their generators? Where is that shaft? Greetings from Norway

  • @AgentJayZ
    @AgentJayZ  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is not a destructive test, In an airliner engine, the water is flung outward by the fan, and almost none of it enters the core. So long as its a spray, like from 40 fire hoses, it increases the load on the fan, but does not damage it.
    A ton of water per minute would damage the core, but it does not get in there.

  • @343jonny
    @343jonny 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Right, I understand. The 5252 actually appears when you combine the conversions in my formula. That is, the 550 ft lb/sec, 2 pi, and the 1/60 to convert from min to sec are all lumped together by 550 / (2 pi/60) = 5252. So your formula and my formula are identical...mine just used the definitions of each term to find the constant, 1/5252 which you multiply by at the end. So, both of our formulas are correct....your's is just a shortcut I had never realized before. Thanks XD

  • @MPCapricorn
    @MPCapricorn 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you Jay for another great explanation! But once again I would like to ask you something. You've shown us a 5 stage aircraft PT. But what is it's use? Where in an aircraft do you need that amount of mechanical power? Most the power is used to accelerate the aircraft and only a minor amount is used to drive the generators, pumps etc. Or what do I get wrong? Maybe it has to do with the aircraft's PACKs?

  • @343jonny
    @343jonny 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the LM2500 has the same core as the CF6 which is a high bypass turbofan engine. So, the LP compressor(s) would be used to turn the giant fan at the front of the engine.

  • @AgentJayZ
    @AgentJayZ  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The enlarged LPC of the engines use tremendous amounts of power to turn them... that's what the 5 stage turbine is for. Maybe I should have called it the LP turbine instead of an aircraft PT. That would have been more perfectly technically correct.
    If that's not clear, then please watch my videos on Turbojet or Turbofan, and also one called "Power Turbines: What are They?"

  • @johnm400uk

  • @AgentJayZ
    @AgentJayZ  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    No, and no. The gas generator turbine is designed to extract enough power from the exhaust stream to drive the compressor and the accessories, like the fuel and oil pumps. There is a lot of energy left over in the exhaust, and a jet engine uses a convergent nozzle to convert that energy into acceleration of the exhaust gases, which produces thrust. A power turbine can be place in the exhaust instead of a jet nozzle, and it turns all that energy into torque on a spinning shaft.

  • @AgentJayZ

  • @zapfanzapfan
    @zapfanzapfan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is the water injection because of NOx-regulation? How much does it affect the fuel-efficiency (thermal efficiency) of the engine? Does it drop by 1%? Less? More?

    • @AgentJayZ
      @AgentJayZ  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      This operator uses it to maximize power, and reduce NOx. I don't know the effect on efficiency.

    • @zapfanzapfan
      @zapfanzapfan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I watched one of your other videos where you test water injection and you said how many gallons it used, I think it works out to about 0,75-1,5 liters per second. To turn 1 liter of water into steam takes about 2MJ (at 100 C and 1 atm anyway), doing it every second means 2MW, that would be about 3% of the heat generated in the engine. If that is a loss or recovered downstream someone smarter than me will have to explain :-)

    • @shelldon12
      @shelldon12 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My educated guess would be that though you are losing combustion heat to vaporize the injected water, there will still be a small net benefit in efficiency because of the increased mass flow (energy flow) through the turbine (more turbine power, the purpose of water injection). This, of course is probably very much a function of how much water you are injecting as well. One would need to work the thermo to know for sure. While this is only a guess, in the case of steam injected gas turbines, the sole purpose is to increase efficiency while also augmenting power. This is easily possible since STIG systems utilize the waste heat from turbine exhaust to create the steam prior to injection into the combustor, as opposed to using the heat from within the combustor itself. This can increase thermal efficiency as much as 6-10% in some cases.

  • @343jonny
    @343jonny 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, I made a typo. I meant the LP turbine(s). :-) A fan increases the pressure of a gas slightly and is mainly used to mobilize a gas. A compressor is capable of compressing a gas to a very high pressure. From an engineering perspective, a turbine is a device which takes the change in enthalpy (change in flow and internal energy) from the beginning of the first stage power turbine to the exit of the last stage and converts this change in enthalpy into useful shaft work which is what you said.

      Oh, but it is YOU, my good sir, being not completely accurate. If you examine the original question, it was asked about the present, as indicated by the use of the word "are".
      By changing the tense in your answer to the past, through the use of the word "used", you have lost your way, and are in error.
      Maybe we are both not accurate, because although Concorde never flies any more, I think I read somewhere that the russians still use the TU144.
      All that is mostly irrelevant anyway, because the spirit of the question was whether AB is used in industrial settings. Perhaps I over answered, and that was also a mistake, no?
