INTAKE: An intake, or tube, is needed in front

of the compressor to help direct the incoming
air smoothly into the rotating compressor
blades. Older engines had stationary vanes in
front of the moving blades. These vanes also
helped to direct the air onto the blades. The air
flowing into a turbojet engine is always
subsonic, regardless of the speed of the aircraft
itself.

COMPRESSOR: The compressor is driven by

the turbine. It rotates at high speed, adding
energy to the airflow and at the same time
squeezing (compressing) it into a smaller space.
It consist of rotating and stationary blades
attached to a shaft which is driven by the
turbine. The function of the compressor is to
compress the air coming through the inlet so as
to raise its pressure and temperature.

COMBUSTION CHAMBER: The high-

pressure air from the compressor is now forced
into the combustion chamber where it is
thoroughly mixed with the fuel and ignited. The
air and fuel mixture burn in the combustor and
pass through to the turbine in a continuous
flowing process with no pressure build-up.
Instead, a small pressure loss occurs in the
combustor.
Less than 25% of the air is typically used for
combustion, as an overall lean mixture is
required to keep within the turbine temperature
limits.

TURBINE: The hot mixture leaves the

combustor and expands through the turbine.
This mixture causes the turbine blades to rotate.
These blades are connected to the same shaft
which is present in the compressor. Thus, the
turbine rotates this shaft which works the
compressor. The turbine also expands the gas
and accelerates it towards the nozzle. As the
turbine will experience high-temperature gasses,
the materials selected for the turbine should be
heat resistant.

NOZZLE: The gas from the turbine is further

expanded by the nozzle. The gas expands
adiabatically thus has greater efficiency. The
nozzle increases the speed of the exhaust, thus
providing thrust. There are various shapes of
nozzle-like convergent nozzle, divergent nozzle
convergent-divergent (C-D) nozzle.
