turbojet engine

...For this reason, a control device is required that can measure the status of each required part of the engine and use this information to optimally control not only the fuel flow rate but also variable parts such as the compressor stator vane variable joint. Currently, electronic control systems are being adopted instead of mechanical systems.
[Turbojet engine]
In a jet engine (Figure 1), air is drawn in through an intake port, compressed by a compressor, and then introduced into a combustion chamber, where fuel is added and burned. The resulting high-temperature, high-pressure combustion gas passes through a turbine that drives the compressor, and is then ejected as a jet from a jet nozzle (Figure 1). The overall efficiency of a jet aircraft, that is, the proportion of the energy generated by fuel combustion that is effectively used for propulsion, is the product of the engine thermal efficiency and the propulsive efficiency.

…このため,所要のエンジン各部の状況を計測し,それらを用い最適の燃料流量制御のみならず,圧縮機静翼可変節など可変部の制御を行う制御装置が必要で,現在では機械的な方式に代わって電子制御方式が採用されるようになってきている。

 取入口より吸入した空気を圧縮機で圧縮したのち,燃焼室に導き,これに燃料を加えて燃焼させ,得られた高温高圧の燃焼ガスを,圧縮機駆動用のタービンを通したのち,ジェットノズルからジェットとして噴出させる形式のジェットエンジン(図1)。 ジェット機の総合効率,すなわち燃料の燃焼により生ずるエネルギーのうち推進に有効に利用されたエネルギーの割合は,エンジン熱効率と推進効率との積となる。…
