  turbine engine, make a minute inspection of engine inlet ducts to assure that items, such as nuts, bolts, lock wire, or tools, were not left there after work had been performed. Figure 10-60 shows some examples of blade damage ... axial-flow engine. The descriptions and possible causes of blade damage are given in Figure 10-61. Corrosion pitting is not considered serious on the compressor stator vanes of axial-flow engines if the pitting is within the allowed tolerance…

  Chapter 3: Induction & Exhaust Systems › Turbine Engine Inlet Systems

  Turbine Engine Inlet Systems The engine inlet of a turbine engine is designed to provide a relatively distortion-free flow of air, in the required quantity, to the inlet of the compressor. [Figure 3-24] Many engines use inlet guide ... vanes (IGV) to help straighten the airflow and direct it into the first stages of the compressor. A uniform and steady airflow is necessary to avoid compressor stall (airflow tends to stop or reverse direction of flow) and excessive internal…

  Glossary

  turbocharger uses a small radial inflow turbine in the exhaust system to drive a centrifugal-type air compressor on the turbine shaft. The compressed air is directed into the engine cylinders to increase power. Turbo-compound engine. A reciprocating engine ... that has power recovery turbines in its exhaust system. The power extracted from the exhaust by these turbines is directed into the engine crankshaft through a fluid coupling. Turbofan engine. A type of gas turbine engine that…
