 INTRODUCTION
A jet engine is a reaction engine that discharges a fast
moving jet which generates thrust by jet propulsion in
accordance with Newton's laws of motion. This broad
definition of jet engines includes turbojets, turbofans,
rockets, ramjets, and pulse jets. jet engine is nothing but
a Gas Turbi ne.
PRINCIPLE OF JET
ENGINE
o Principle of jet engine is based on Newton’s second
and third law of motion.
o Second law states that the rate of change of momentum in any direction
is proportional to the force acting in that direction.
o Third law states that for every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction.
TYPES OF JET ENGINE
1. TURBOJET ENGINE
The turbojet engine is a reaction engine.

Substantial increases in thrust can be obtained by employing an

afterburner
 2. TURBOFAN
The word "turbofan" is combination of "turbine" and "fan":
the turbo portion refers to a gas turbine engine which takes
mechanical energy from combustion, and the fan, a ducted
fan that uses the mechanical energy from the gas turbine
to accelerate air rear
wards.
3. TURBOPROP
A turboprop engine is a turbine engine that drives an aircraft
propeller. In contrast to a turbojet, the engine's exhaust
gases do not contain enough energy to create significant
thrust, since almost all of the engine's power is used to drive
the propeller.
 4. RAMJET
Ramjets cannot produce thrust at zero airspeed; they cannot
move an aircraft from a standstill. A ramjet-powered vehicle,
therefore, requires an assisted take-off like a rocket assist to
accelerate it to a speed where it begins to produce thrust.
Ramjets work most efficiently at supersonic speeds .
5.SCRAMJET ENGINE:
A Scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) is a variant of a ramjet air
breathing combustion jet engine in which the combustion process
takes place in supersonic airflow.
As in ramjets, a scramjet relies on high vehicle speed to forcefully
compress and decelerates the incoming air before combustion , but
whereas a ramjet decelerates the air to subsonic throughout the entire
engine.
The fastest air -breathing plane is a SCRAMJET design, t he NASA X-43a
which reached Mach 9.6 or 12,144 km/h, on 16 Nov 200 4.
6. PULSEJET ENGINE
A Pulsejet engine is a type of jet engine in which combustion
occurs in pulses.
A pulse jet engine is capable of running statically.
Pulsejet engines are light weight from of jet propulsion but
usually poor compression ratio and hence gives a low specific
impulse.

 High power to weight ratio.

 Very high speed therefore saves times.
 Mechanical efficiency of jet engine is high as compared to I.C.
engine.
Disadvantages

 High fuel consumption.

It is difficult to design a turbine that will work in high temperature
with high speed.
 Thermal efficiency of Jet engine is low compared to IC engine.
 Conclusion

Jet engine works on laws of basic thermodynamics as steady flow energy

equation and Brayton cycle empowering the thought that natural resources
air can be used according to human mind for the benefit of world.

Ram type of jet engines is used only in Defence sector. Because it travels
at supersonic speed and generally high level of training is required. Since
it travels at such a high speed it cannot be used for traveling.

 Net work output of a jet propulsion cycle is zero.
