In this homework I choose the turbofan because turbofan is the one of favourites machine and the
most machine has been used by many result of engineering, but because the turbofan has been
used by a lot of company in the world now I just want to describe the turbofan machine that has
been used by aviation or in the plane especially.
The turbofan machine consist of big chunk of system machine than you can look like in the over
section those are:
INLET
FAN
TURBINE
FAN
COMPRESSOR
INLET FLOW
COMBUSTION CHAMBER
NOZZLE
When the machine works, all of the big chunks of machine has been working together to build some
system that produce some pushing energy that useful for plane. In the below section I want to
describe what the function of each machine are:
Inlet flow : the machine has function to be the first gate of airflow that want to get in to the
turbofan machine
Fan : A fan at the front sucks the cold air into the engine and forces it through the inlet.
This slows the air down by about 60 percent and its speed is now about 400 km/h (240 mph).
Compressor : Dramatically increases the pressure of the air (and, to a lesser extent) its
temperature.
Nozzle : Dramatically increases the velocity of the exhaust gases, so powering the plane.
But if you just know about the sub machine that build the turbofan machine I think its not enough to
more understand how does the machine works. So in the below section I want to give a picture that
explain about the works of the machine:
There are many engineering discipline that have collaborate to build the solid system and give the
engineering result, as you can see the machine does not build from random material but engineer
build this machine has been through many calculated what the best material or what the best
structure for the machine so the machine can produce some energy that the engineer want so the
project of build has so many discipline engineering consist of:
Mechanical engineering
Material engineering
Aerospace engineering
Electrical engineering
All of the engineering discipline has each function so they can build the machine like the monster
machine that has perfectly work like the engineer want like the material engineering want to have
thin or light material but the mechanical engineering want to the machine that have perfectly
efficiency to get more and more energy and collaborate with the aerospace engineering that want to
the airflow can get in to machine perfectly so the machine can reach the highest ability that the
machine can and don’t forget to electrical engineering they has function to set how the electric of
system can works well and normally, in fact there are many more engineering discipline has
participated in this system but in here I just describe the most of engineering discipline.
Actually in build this turbofan machine that is used by plane or by drone I think many aspect that
must be consireded to build this even the machine has built the considered aspect have to
controlled everytime. Those are the aspect that have to considered during build this machine:
System
Structure
Aerodynamic
Control
Material
