Turbine Engines Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• combustion chamber : mixes fuel with compressed air and ignites it.
• compressor stall : a breakdown of airflow through the compressor.
• turbine blade : extracts energy from expanding gases.
• nozzle : accelerates exhaust gases to produce thrust.
• stator : stationary blades that direct airflow between rotor stages.
• turbine disk : holds the turbine blades in place.
• compressor : increases air pressure before combustion.
• axial flow compressor : air flows parallel to the axis of rotation.
• turbine shaft : connects turbine to compressor.
• centrifugal compressor : air is flung outward by impeller blades.
• surge : reversal of airflow in the compressor
• turbine : extracts energy from hot gases to drive the compressor and fan.
• rotor : rotating blades that compress the air.
• hot section : parts exposed to high temperatures (combustor + turbine).
• exhaust : the stream of gases leaving the nozzle.
