Bleed Air from Engine

🛩️When air enters a turbine engine, it goes through a series of compressors, which significantly increase the air temperature and pressure before mixing that air with fuel and igniting it. A small portion of that compressed air, however, does not enter the combustion chamber and instead is redirected from the engine via valves, ducting and manifolds to various other areas of the aircraft.

🛩️Bleed air is extracted from the compressor of the engine or APU.

🛩️The specific stage of the compressor from which the air is bled varies by engine type.

🛩️In some engines, air may be taken from more than one location for different uses as the temperature and pressure of the air is variable dependant upon the compressor stage at which it is extracted.

🛩️Bleed air from that system can be utilized for internal cooling of the engine, cross-starting another engine, engine and airframe anti-icing, cabin pressurization, pneumatic actuators, air-driven motors, pressurizing the hydraulic reservoir, and waste and water storage tanks.

🛩️bleed air's primary use is to provide pressure for the aircraft cabin by supplying air to the environmental control system.

🛩️Additionally, bleed air is used to keep critical parts of the plane (such as the wing leading edges) ice-free.

🛩️Bleed air is valuable in an aircraft for two properties, high temperature and high pressure (typical values are 200–250 °C and 275 kPa (40 PSI).

Basic Clouds 🛩️Cloud type is determined by its height, shape, & characteristics. They are classified according to the height of their bases as low, middle, or high clouds, as well as clouds with vertical development. 🛩️Low clouds are those that form near the Earth’s surface and extend up to about 6,500 feet AGL. They are made of water droplets but can include supercooled water droplets that induce hazardous aircraft icing. Typical low clouds are stratus, stratocumulus, nimbostratus. Fog is also low cloud formation. This Clouds create low ceilings, hamper visibility, & can change rapidly. They influence flight planning & can make visual flight rules (VFR) flight impossible. 🛩️Middle clouds form around 6,500 feet AGL & extend up to 20,000 feet AGL. They are composed of water, ice crystals, & supercooled water droplets. Typical middle-level clouds include altostratus & altocumulus. These types of clouds are encountered on cross-country flights at highe...

🛩️A combustor is a component or area of a gas turbine, ramjet, or scramjet engine where combustion takes place. It is also known as a burner, combustion chamber or flame holder. In a gas turbine engine, combustion chamber is fed high pressure air by the compression system. 🛩️The combustor then heats this air at constant pressure. After heating, air passes from the combustor through the nozzle guide vanes to the turbine. In the case of a ramjet or scramjet engines, the air is directly fed to the nozzle. 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞 ✈️The most commonly used type of combustor is the fully annular combustor. Annular combustors do away with the separate combustion zones and simply have a continuous liner and casing in a ring. There are many advantages to annular combustors, including more uniform combustion, shorter size, lighter, and less surface area. Annular combustors tend to have very uniform exit temperatures. They also have the lowest pressure drop of the three...
