What is a a turbocharger?
is a centrifugal compressor powered by a turbine which is driven by an engine's exhaust gases.
Why do turbos blow?
Compressor side is driven by the turbine side, engine exhaust gases drive the turbo
What are examples of mechanical to electrical energy?
A steam turbine/generator in a power station, a small gasoline powered generator, or a 12v alternator in your car driven by the engine.
Where did the word turbo come from?
Its short for the word turbine, as in a turbine driven supercharger.
How do you pressurize an aircraft?
There's an engine-driven compressor. On a turbine engine they pull bleed air off one of the turbine sections; on a piston engine plane it's an accessory to the engine. (Having said that, very few piston planes have pressurized cabins--they don't go high enough to need them.)
What was the first turbine driven helicopter?
miki
What gas is used to turbo the cars?
Turbo chargers are driven by the exhaust gases exiting the engine - engine exhaust drives a turbine in the exhaust system which, in turn, turn the turbo compressor.
Is the Robinson r22 piston or turbine driven?
because they have a light weight frame they are able to get away with a piston engine witch make is that much cheaper
What is intermediate pressure turbine?
Some varieties of gas turbine engines (e.g. RR Trent and RB211) have 3 concentric rotating shafts. Each shaft connects a compressor with a turbine. The low pressure compressor, or fan, is driven by the low pressure turbine. The high pressure compressor is driven by the high pressure turbine. Between the low and high pressure compressors there is an intermediate pressure compressor and, guess what... it's driven by the intermediate pressure turbine.
What kind of motor does a propeller driven plane use?
The propeller plane could have a piston engine or engines, or a turbine engine or engines, the latter being a distinction that makes the craft a turbo-prop.
What are two mechanical devices that improve volumetric efficiency?
The supercharger, which uses a belt, driven by the engine, to forcer more air into the intake manifold, and a turbocharger, which uses a turbine driven by exiting exhaust gasses, to do the same thing.
What is TDBFP?
TDBFP = Turbine Driven Boiler Feed Pump
