Turbojet Engine Model
Product Code : SCL-IMIC-11445
Description:
The Turbojet Engine Model is a crucial piece of Physics Science Educational Laboratory Equipment and a Cut-Section Demonstration unit designed to illustrate the internal workings of a gas turbine engine. This model is vital for Automobile Labs, Aeronautical Engineering, and STEM Classrooms.
This apparatus provides a detailed, visible representation of the sequential process that generates the powerful thrust required for flight:
Air Intake & Compression: Air is drawn into the engine and rapidly pressurized by the compressor stage.
Combustion: Highly compressed air mixes with fuel in the combustion chamber and is ignited.
Turbine Operation: The resulting high-velocity, hot gas expands and rotates the turbine blades, which in turn powers the front-end compressor.
Exhaust & Thrust: The hot gas exits the engine's rear nozzle as a high-speed stream, producing the forward propulsion (thrust) necessary to fly the aircraft.
This educational model clearly shows how the turbojet converts the chemical energy of fuel into the kinetic energy of the exhaust gases, dramatically improving the speed and efficiency of air travel—a breakthrough pioneered by engineers like Frank Whittle and Hans von Ohain in the 1930s.
Usage:
Laboratory Demonstration: Detailed study of component layout, airflow path, and the thermodynamics of the jet cycle.
Visual Aid: Explain fundamental concepts of internal combustion, thrust generation, and engine mechanics.
Conceptual Learning: Illustrate the conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy and then kinetic energy.
Assembly and Disassembly Training: Visualize how various parts interlock and function within the engine casing.
