As a former C-130 pilot, what makes this engine design so great for that aircraft is the fixed turbo shaft design that requires the engine to operate nearly wide open all the time. All the thrust is controlled by the complex Hamilton Standard prop gear reduction. So, unlike a turbojet or turbofan there is virtually no “spool up” time (lag) so when you need to add power, it’s there right now!! ( like a recip engine) Making the C-130 a great low level, formation, off field, slow flying “Bush” plane. Thanks for posting Jay Z! Juan.

@ Interesting to note: My grandfather invented these jet engine fuel injection nozzles, which are used in virtually every jet engine made. He was the Vice President of Engineering for Delevan Manufacturing from the 50s through early 70s. I recall a story he told me once on how this whole complex development came to him in a dream one night. He literally woke up in a sweat, grabbed his notepad and pencil and scribbled out all these complex mathematical equations and the next morning, called a meeting at work and handed out hand drawn copies of his work to the rest of his engineering team and everyone is using their sliderules and chewing on their pipes and puffing their cigars and cigarettes and all were nodding, "this could work!" So they ordered a prototype made and put it through it's test phases and sure enough - the math was right! Upon retiring in the early 70s, Delevan gave my grandfather a plaque with that 1st prototype nozzle encased in acrylic and to this day, that hangs on my wall in my living room! Oh...and he never got rich! As he was under contract as an employee of Delavan, this was considered their intellectual property and he was ceremoniously given "$1.00 and valued consideration!" (plus one hell of an annual Christmas bonus which exceeded his annual income for several years.) Put this way - he wasn't hurting, lol. Just a little FYI story there!

The best demonstration of how a turbine works I've seen.

@stevetilleym.d.6996

Agreed. This is really terrific.

The arrangement of individual liners inside a common case is a transition design between the earliest designs in which there are separate combustor cans around the engine, as in the Orenda type 14 ( see videos ), and the latest designs in which a single annular liner is inside an annular case, as in the LM2500 or T58 ( see videos ). The arrangement in the T56 is called can-annular, and is characteristic of many great engines, like the J79, RR Avon, Spey and Olympus, the P&W J57, J75, and JT8D.

I was associated with gas turbines for a portion of my engineering career. I worked at Ruston & Hornsby in England who developed the first successful industrial gas turbine the Ruston TA. This was under the leadership of Bob Fielden who learned the craft of gas turbine design working under Frank Whittle. While at Ruston I worked alongside a victim of the cancellation of the Avro Arrow or CF-105 which was infamously cancelled at short notice by the Canadian government. This guy had worked for Orenda who were developing the ultimate Arrow engine and were also victims of the cancellation. Later I worked for a civilian group responsible for preliminary ship design power systems for the Royal Canadian Navy. Our big project in the early 1960's was the Implementation of the first gas turbine powered warship of which DDH280 - HMCS Huron with two Pratt& Whitney engines providing low and high power functions was the first of its class. [ Imagine how I felt when I watched the movie on how Huron was deliberately sunk in a planned destruction exercise. Not a great way to go, but better I suppose than being sold for scrap ]. At the risk of going beyond what is a reasonable length for a comment I'd like add a few remarks about some of the main basic design problems in building gas turbines. The first is the choice of compressor of which there are two basic options - either centrifugal or axial [ the latter was illustrated in the piece ]. The least efficient is the centrifugal compressor but it's the easiest to build. During WW2. the Germans developed a Junkers engine which utilized an axial compressor. Unfortunately this was at a time when calculations were done by slide rule, and was accordingly slow and expansive, and at a time when test data was rather sparse. The early German jets were as a result prone to compressor problems [ alluded to in the piece by a brief reference to ' stall ' ] which caused the engines to flame out. The British adopted the easier to build centrifugal compressor which were not prone to stall. The second big problem in turbine design is getting the right metallurgy for the turbine bales. The hotter the gasses passing through the turbine, the greater will be the problem of ' creep ' - the degradation of the strength of the blades with usage. Thus the top allowable temperature that the blades can sustain is an ultimate limit on what power and performance is achievable. This is a limitation which is a permanent one - so metallurgy remains a final determinant in gas turbine design. As a final comment I confess to being thoroughly bewildered while still an engineering student by the intricacies of how to assemble even a simple single spool engine. This complexity was well illustrated in the video.

This is easily the most informative video on jet technology that I've had the pleasure to come across. Most videos miss huge details on the combustion chamber and the structure. I feel like an expert now.

I build PT6's and I enjoyed this video. So thank you for a cool watch!!

the cut away RR engine is an asset to the education of aviation the cut away view made the lecture more in depth and perfectly clear to understand

This is great. Felt like I was on a school field trip to the engine factory. Thanks for the lesson.

One of my favorite jobs out of A&P school was working at a engine overhaul facility working on many different engines. Non flight engines were called ground pounders. Some were very large in diameter. Some were flight engines. Rolls-Royce and GE. Some of the engines that came in after inspection were hung up and beat while the damaged blades fell to the floor. Years later I did lots of hot section replacements on the PT6A-114.

Hearing those blades rattling again as Agent spun the shaft was extremely moving and reminiscent! I worked for a company called Centrax based in Newton Abbot, UK and first built their gas turbine generator sets and then after a while went to work in their field service (customer service) unit and toured Europe repairing, removing, and installing the gen-sets. Halcyon days. Beautiful engine!

I used to "help" my grandfather in the Edmonton Air Museum as a kid. A lot of fond memories hanging around the old WWII pilots.

Thank you for posting this! I've been an aviation nut for more than 40 years, but have never come across a better video that illustrates the inner workings of a turboshaft jet engine. I especially liked the clear, easy to understand look at the combustion chambers and nozzles that feed the turbine first stage.

Being a P-3C Orion Flight Engineer I can tell you the exact RPM. The engine produces 13820 RPM and the 2 stage Reduction Gear Box or RGB which reduces the ratio of torque and RPM to 13.54:1. The first stage reduces at a rate of 4.333:1 whereas the second stage is at a rate of 3.125:1. As per the probe on the 3 o'clock position of the air inlet guide scoop in known as the compressor inlet pressure probe which allows the fuel control to meter fuel appropriately due the amount of ram air supplied to the engine. AKA the CIP probe. There as well is a CIT probe which was not displayed in the video which utilizes air temperature to as well help meter fuel via the fuel control. I as well noticed that there were no thermocouples at the end of the combustion liner cans, the thermocouples (18 of them, 3 per can) send the signal to the TIT gauges in the flight station which display how hot the combustion section is burning at the end of the can. Our maximum allowed TIT for takeoff is 1077 degrees celsius. A little random fact as well is the turbine tangential stress are at an age to the heat expansion and contraction, if the struts weren't diagonal they would crack due to the expansion and contraction at the welds. SUCH A FASCINATING PEICE OF EQUIPMENT! (IBNFE, LOCAL 8251) :)

That is the best illustration on jet engines I've ever seen. Especially on how jet engines start.

The cruise missiles I know of use a small turbofan engine designed and made by a company called Williams International. There are several versions of the engine, and Williams also makes a variety of other small engines for missiles and drones. Since these engines are designed to be blown up after running for a few minutes or hours., they are never serviced or rebuilt. Williams developed an aircraft engine from its missile engine work, called the FJ44. It's used in the Cessna Citation.

Agentjayz, Thanks for helping me to understand jet engines!

Spent half my life working on and operating four 60 Megawatt GE Gas Turbines. We took the exhaust and ran it to a Heat Recovery Steam Generator, and then sent 1200 psig superheated steam to a steam turbine. Under some conditions we could produce up to 80 megawatts all from exhaust. It was state of the art but regretfully they have retired the steam turbine to save on manpower.

@@AgentJayZ Well if you are referring to me, thanks a lot, as that's a heck of a compliment. I toured the littoral combat ship Independence years back, and is the Navy putting all their eggs in one basket? These large gas turbines can be lost as I have seen combustion chambers just blow up and although that can be repaired at sea, I cannot imagine a repair in less than 12 hours, and my concern is in a combat situation this could be a dicey situation. You must pray all the switching gear works flawlessly assuming they are running off one turbine. Steam turbines failure rates are near zero if properly maintained and operated, and you had a bit more choices if you lost a boiler vs losing half the ships propulsive system. I love gas turbines but they are not the solve all on a warship. I'd be interested in your opinion.

I built and tested the T56 for 16 years and your description is right on the money. They were very reliable when well maintained, and I was proud to have my whole family ride on one of my planes from Guam back to home station at Yokota Japan (riding in the jump seats).

Well, it's important to remember what the two different types of blades do. The compressor blades are designed to add energy to the airstream by accelerating it toward the combustor. The turbine blades are designed to take energy away from the airstream coming from the combustor. The turbine drives the compressor, so both are connected and turning the same direction. Compressor blades push air; turbine blades are pushed by air...

Very interesting! Thanks for your clear and thorough explanation of the inner workings of turbine engine!

Loved this. I knew the basic principals already, but it really helped gel things to see how it all goes together. If you're running a shaft to tap output for some mechanical purpose, and you have a huge load, is it possible for the load to bog the turbine down, or does it just flameout? (My BotE figure suggests about 2100 ft-pounds torque, so I don't imagine that would be easy, anyway.)

The small manufacturing tolerances on jet engines are really something to admire. I wonder if there are maintenance issues on the blades (or on any other rotating parts) when a jet fighter is pulling heavy G's . Is it possible to get 'scratch marks' just from maneuvering?

Great class! I've seen these cutaways for years, but I now have a much greater appreciation for the subtleties of its design, especially the cooling aspects.

@AgentJayZ

7 жыл бұрын

It's called an exhaust cone, because it specifically is not a nozzle. This is an industrial 501, not a T56, so the exhaust is ducted away, not used for thrust or power in any way. It may be sent through a heat exchanger to created steam, at the installation where it is used. In the T56 the exhaust gases are ejected through a rear nozzle that cause them to accelerate and provide a small amount of residual thrust. The 501 does not have such a nozzle. It has an entrance to an exhaust duct, which I have called a cone, because it is shaped like a section of a cone.

17:30 2,400 pounds per hour of fuel burned = 342 gallons per hour x $5 per gallon = $1,700 of fuel per hour per engine x 4 engines for the C130 = $6,800 OF FUEL BURNED PER HOUR. 2,300 mile range at 336mph at 20,000 feet = 6.8 hours x $6,800 = $46,240 OF FUEL BURNED IN A 6.8 HOUR FLIGHT. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_C-130_Hercules

I think the actual fuel costs is one of the least concerns in terms of how expensive it is to fly. The unit cost for T56 seems to be around 3 million USD (2014). Just imagine how much it costs to keep them in flying condition. Plus you have to have a plane in good shape attached to those engines!

So this will not be economical as a LNG gas power plant with this calculation.

I ran (3) 501 at a 12.5 MW Plant cogeneration very noisy 😆👍

I need some of your expertise to setup a 4mw power plant with this engine UK.

Excellent description and close up view of the Allison / RR turbo engine. Many thanks!

This is an amzing video. I am never tired to see it! Thank you!

Thank you so much for uploading this video,it answered a couple of questions i couldn't find the answer elsewhere.In fact,this might be the most informative video on KZread when it comes to Jet Engines technology and functioning,great video JayZ.

im not sure how or why i got here, but im glad i found your channel. a true engineer.

@AgentJayZ thanks for this video! This really illustrates where the different components I work with every day play a function inside the engine. Since we focus more on individual components we hardly get to see the big picture. I've been on a viewing binge with your videos for the last four days and I must admit they are addicting. lol

Terrific, EDUCATIONAL videos. Love your style for keepin it real. Press on brudduh !!

JayZ , it is obvious that you put alot of time and effort into your very interesting and informative videos. I enjoy them alot and I thank you.

Great video, thanks for taking the time to explain this turbine.

Used to love to hear these fire up on Convair 580's. It turned the Convair from a good airplane to a phenomenal airplane.

Thanks from France. Excellent video and comments !!!!

Fascinating-I am in awe of the incredibly high standard of Engineering and design of these Turbines and I really do appreciate the way n which all of the stages and operations are explained, so clear and concise, thanks very much, this is Education that works for me!

Just wanted to say thanks for having all these videos. They are great. I'm an aerospace student and watching these videos give real context to in-class material. keep up the good work AgentJayZ!

Thank you for sharing this it is a great refresher for me, I’m a current p3 pilot!

Very nice tour !! Enjoyed it a lot !!
