This is the powerplant
What is a Powerplant ?
Applications of GTE
• Submarine

• Tank

• Ship

• Train

• Industrial

• Generator

• Aircraft
WHY GASTURBINE ?
 GASTURBINE RECIPROCATING

VS
Increased ease of operation
Turbine engines offered reliability, at high altitudes,
many advantages over
reciprocating engines and
airlines were interested
: longer mean
times between
and a high power
to engine weight
overhaul, ratio made turbine
power very
higher airspeeds, desirable.
Activity
• What type of Power plant 3 engine do you expect on our future ? explain

• Write your Name, section, subject and date at the upper side of your paper

• Any answer connected to my question is correct.

summary
• Power plant engine can be positioned in fuselage , empennage and wings.

• Power plant provides thrust (land and air)

• Power plant is a combination of propeller and engine

• Power plant 2 (gte) is a internal combustion engine. It produces thrust by

using Brayton’s cycle.

• Main difference of p1 and p2 is power to weight ratio and efficiency

Law of Gasturbine Engine
• Newton'sthird law of motion states that
for every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction.
 A squid that
propels
underwater

Is the same way

a GTE propels
In the AIR
Squid is related to powerplant?
The acceleration of the air is the
action and forward movement is
the reaction.
• COANDA EFFECT – HENRI COANDA (ROMANIAN INVENTOR) 1930’S

• BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE – DANIEL BERNOULLI (SWISS

MATHEMATICIAN AND PHYSICIST 1730’S

• BRAYTON’S CYCLE – GEORGE BRAYTON (AMERICAN ENGINEER)

1870’S
Now, the EOLIPILE

As early as 250 B.C., a writer and

mathematician named Hero
alexandria
 Hero's aeolipile, conceived
long before the acceptance of
Newton's Laws of Motion,
proved that power by reaction
was possible.
