Compressors - Turbine Engines: A Closer Look

Lets look around inside the compressors of a few different turbine engines. How does it all fit together, where does the air go, and how does it work ?

They become locked under Centrifugal force at speed. Windmilling at low speed can result in significant wear of the compressor blade roots.

[@Randy1958morris]

I have filed and/or replaced countless numbers of compressor blades on the J79 during my air force tour of duty. bird strike compressors were nasty to repair/replace because of the odor of "cooked" bird meat throughout the motor. I once found the impression of Abraham Lincoln on a first stage compressor blade, one of the flight line crew forgot to empty his pockets before intake inspection of the RF4C Phantom, his nickel cost a half million dollars in motor damage.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I was in the National Guard 40 years ago, worked on CH 47 and UH1 helicopter engines. I blended and polished quite a few blades that suffered FOD. (Foreign object damage). Blades that could not be fixed were smashed with a hammer to prevent them from finding their way into our spare parts streams. Various use once parts From the aircraft were also given the hammer treatment. This would prevent the unscrupulous parts suppliers from performing unauthorized repairs to critical parts.I understand even now counterfeit parts can be a problem in the aviation industries.

One of the most informative videos on turbine compressors out there. Thank you very much for the information.

[@AgentJayZ]

A gum wrapper would not damage a turbofan at all. Nor one of these turbojets. But it would be turned to dust, not just shredded. One of the major advantages of turbofans is they tend to shunt debris through the bypass duct..."bypassing" the core. Overall this makes the engine very resistant to damage by birds and such. A bag of marbles going into a GE90? it would be very unhappy, but it would keep running. If one marble went into the core of the same engine,it would be unable to make any power.

[@rigilchrist]

A bird got into the core of each engine in that incident. So each engine failed because the core ingested one bird, not a flock.

[@ytugtbk]

A mechanical marvel, as well as, a thing of beauty. Hard to believe the turbojet engine was invented by a couple of aviators (Sir Frank Whittle for one) who thought reciprocating piston engines were too noisy and vibrated too much. They were looking for a smoother form of power generation. What an odd seed for the Mother of Invention. A bit like explaining why zippers replaced button flys.

[@AgentJayZ]

Sir Frank was not looking for smoothness. He was looking for higher aircraft speeds.

[@andyman8630]

propeller driven thrust is limited by the fact that the propeller tip cannot exceed mach 1 (for multiple reasons) so Frank worked on the centrifugal gas turbine in order to exceed mach 1 - the centrifugal compressor (think car turbo) was later replaced by the axial design which was vastly more efficient

[@ytugtbk]

@@andyman8630 Thx for the deeper insight. My comments were based on a television documentary, and as we all know, they are written by people who do some research, write a script, and find some footage to go along with it.

I have been working on taming the resonances and using them to control flame propagation.

[@AgentJayZ]

By stationary, I mean they do not move from where they are located... you know, like the rapidly moving rotor blades do... The people who invented the variable stator also mean that. Otherwise they would have called it a moving stator... in which case it would not be a stator, now would it?

Any wearing in of seal clearances would be done on the test cell stand... long before the engine ever got near being installed in an aircraft. Aircraft engines are built with standardized, slightly larger tip clearances to avoid rubs. Industrial engines have a less demanding life, but longer service intervals, and they are sometimes built "tighter".

[@Jangle2007]

AgentJayZ: At 3:23 is the "money shot" to a question I've often pondered. Given how tight the space tolerances are inside the engine, what is the process for attaching the compressor casing to the rotor assembly such that you don't prang a delicate stator or compressor blade? You've previously said "with great care". This process must be even more critical in high pressure, high by-pass commercial airline engines. I presume that the preferred process is not what is shown in the youtube video "gas turbine accident". Would it possible to show the joining process of a compressor casing -rotor assembly by video? Many thanks!

[@jamesweigand7524]

we used to put wax strips to ck clearance. then airline bought very expensive grinder that match ground each rotor to a specific set of cases.tremendously accurate the blades had a 3 angle grind on them (tip) also. mind blowing when you hear some yahoo customer screaming complaints.

[@Cin_Vhetin]

Can only answer for a high by pass turbo engine (leap/genx/cf34) low pressure compressor Stage by stage "that simple" disk fan -> spool -> matching of blades (because like he said blades must be loose, so in order to that, tey test wich blades they will put , then unload them for proper mounting) -> unload the blades -> first stator -> first stage (seconde stage actually cause first is fan ) blades put back -> second stator -> second stage etc

[@bob15479]

why loose blades

[@oscarb9139]

Ric Rovey Not resonance.

[@ALSPEHEIR]

I wonder what is the temperature those stators reach when working.

[@AgentJayZ]

From inlet to outlet, each stage gets hotter. From idle to max, the temp of each stage gets hotter.

[@ALSPEHEIR]

@@AgentJayZ Are all of them made of titanium or some of them (the colder ones) are made of cheaper materials like steel? And thanks for answering :)

[@AgentJayZ]

All steel. Steel is stronger, more resistant to high temps, cheaper and easier to work with than titanium. But titanium is lighter, and of course, sexier than steel.

[@ALSPEHEIR]

@@AgentJayZ Hey Jay. Thx for answering. SInce we are at it, I got another question. I always thought i the blades and vanes where made of titanium precisely because titanium can endure higher temperatures and dont suffer frmo creep as much as steel. But the question is: if this is all made of common, easily acessible steel instead of some exotic metals, why dont other countries produces engines like these? I mean, its kinf of difficult to believe that such a simple desing using steel is so expensive and difficult to make.

[@AgentJayZ]

Ah! You made the very common, but massive mistake! "Simple"? Have you ever thought about why the steam piston engine was introduced in the late 1700s, and the steam turbine was introduced in the late 1800s? Or how the Otto cycle piston combustion engine was around just before 1900, but the first combustion gas turbine engine was actually running in the early 1930s? Not so simple. And to make a "competitive" gas turbine engine nowadays, or even in the 1960s... took thousands of engineers and billions of dollars. With a capital "B". Anyone who says jet engines are simple, and have "only one moving part"... just does not know enough. Jeez, most countries in the world today do not have a "steel" industry. It takes a heck of a lot of money, skill, and will to develop a jet engine. Only a few countries do it now. Even here in Canada... we sure can, and we did back in the day, but we don't now. We design nuclear reactors, but we don't make jet engines any more. Simple is the last word I would use to describe gas turbine engines.... except maybe cheap. Yes, cheap and simple are the top two non-words to use...
