One important correction, N1 rotation begins before fuel is introduced. When the N2 shaft is spun by the starter, it will suck air through the engine, which will turn the N1 shaft at a low speed. This rotation must be confirmed before fuel is introduced, as lack of N1 rotation could indicate a seized engine.

@powerwagon3731

@@majestikstyle It’s not a true jet engine It’s a turbine which uses a series of compressor blades mounted on wheels in the convergent duct thus compressing the air. After which fuel and ignition are introduced in the hot section driving another series of blades in the divergent duct mounted to a common shaft that also drives the compressor section. A high by pass fan is also used for thrust around engine case . A true jet is much simpler in design.

Think of it this way: N1 is your thrust, and N2 powers your systems. The N1 shaft has many more turbine stages, in order to extract as much energy as possible from the jet exhaust and use it to run the fan. That's where most of your thrust comes from. The N2 compressor gives you bleed air, which runs your AC, anti-ice, and engine starters. The gearbox linked to the N2 shaft runs a generator and a hydraulic pump.

One of the things I did on pushbacks, before I give the pilots permission to start. I notice the wind. A strong rear wind would turn the fan blades in the opposite direction. If the wind is really strong from the rear, I would alter the angle in order to prevent a hot start.

@@hugolafhugolaf in order to make more power, engines must get hotter. We measure this heat by the temperature of the gasses that are exhausted out of the engine, known as exhaust gas temperature or EGT. During an engine start, the EGT is monitored to not exceed a certain value before the engine is started and stabilized. If it does exceed this value, that is known as a hot start.

As an important point with regards starting a turbo fan engine. The air starter for the engine is fed low pressure high volume air. A popular understandable mistake is that the starter is fed high pressure air. The air pressure is generally around 45 psi. The volume of air supplied is what provides the energy to drive the air starter.

@JxJAVIATION

N1 and N2 shaft are 2 separate shafts and are not coupled mechanically. The aerodynamic forces cause these shafts to rotate. So basically they are always disengaged mechanically.

The N-1 section just doesn’t start to rotate. The hot exhaust gasses from the combustion section, pass thru the turbine blades, causing the blades to rotate. The now rotating N-1 section does force more air into the compressor section.
