The internal combustion engine is a heat engine that converts chemical energy in
a fuel into mechanical energy, usually made available on a rotating output shaft.
Chemical energy of the fuel is first converted to thermal energy by means of
combustion or oxidation with air inside the engine. This thermal energy raises the
temperature and pressure of the gases within the engine, and the high-pressure gas
then expands against the mechanical mechanisms of the engine. This expansion is
converted by the mechanical linkages of the engine to a rotating crankshaft, which is
the output of the engine. The crankshaft, in turn, is connected to a transmission and/or
power train to transmit the rotating mechanical energy to the desired final use. For
engines this will often be the propulsion of a vehicle (i.e., automobile, truck,
locomotive, marine vessel, or airplane). Other applications include stationary engines
to drive generators or pumps, and portable engines for things like chain saws and
lawn mowers. Most internal combustion engines are reciprocating engines having
pistons that reciprocate back and forth in cylinders internally within the engine.
Reciprocating engines can have one cylinder or many, up to 20 or more. The
cylinders can be arranged in many different geometric configurations. Sizes range
from small model airplane engines with power output on the order of 100 watts to
large multicylinder stationary engines that produce thousands of kilowatts per
cylinder. There are so many different engine manufacturers, past, present, and future,
that produce and have produced engines which differ in size, geometry, style, and
operating characteristics that no absolute limit can be stated for any range of engine
characteristics (i.e., size, number of cylinders, strokes in a cycle, etc.).
Early development of modern internal combustion engines occurred in the latter
half of the 1800s and coincided with the development of the automobile. History
records earlier examples of crude internal combustion engines and self-propelled road
vehicles dating back as far as the 1600s. Most of these early vehicles were steamdriven prototypes which never became practical operating vehicles. Technology,
roads, materials, and fuels were not yet developed enough. Very early examples of
heat engines, including both internal combustion and external combustion, used gun
powder and other solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels. Major development of the modern
steam engine and, consequently, the railroad locomotive occurred in the latter half of
the 1700s and early 1800s. By the 1820s and 1830s, railroads were present in several
countries around the world.

TEXT
GAS TURBINE
The turbine is a major component common to the gas turbine-propeller engine,
and to the thermal jet engine. In the gas turbine-propeller engine the turbine must
develop the shaft power for driving the air compressor, propeller, and the
auxiliaries. In the thermal jet engine, however, it is required to furnish only
sufficient power to drive the air compressor and the auxiliaries. In general, gas
turbine-propeller engines are designed to deliver auxiliary jet thrust from the
exhaust gases in addition to the propeller thrust, the usual proportions being 80 per
cent propeller thrust and 20 per cent auxiliary jet thrust. Particularly helpful to the
development of turbines which operate with highly heated gases is the experience
gathered in the development of turbo-superchargers and also steam turbines for
high-pressure and high-temperature applications. In many respects the turbine for gas
turbine-propeller engines or turbo-jet engines is quite similar to the conventional
16

steam turbine, the major difference being in the metallurgy, the means provided for
cooling the bearings and highly stressed parts, and in the constructional features to
safeguard against thermal distortion.
The basic requirements for the turbine are the same for either type of engine. The
following remarks apply equally well to the turbines for turbojet and turboprop
engines. The principal requirements are: (a) light weight; (b) small frontal area; (c)
high efficiency; (d) ability to operate for sustained periods at high temperature; and
(e) reliability and serviceability.
Light weight is secured by operating the turbine rotor with the highest permissible
rim speed, using small-diameter rotors. Since the stresses in a given turbine disk
increase approximately as the square of the rim speed, the maximum rim speed is
limited by strength considerations, which are governed by the stress characteristics
of the disk and blade materials at the operating temperature. Although low rim
speeds are desirable from a stress standpoint, there is a lower limit to the rim speed
imposed by the dictates of high efficiency which, in general, improves with rim
speed. Since the turbine efficiency improves, in general, with increasing rim speed
and permits using lower bucket temperatures for the same power output, the
choice of rim speed is a compromise between allowable stress and turbine efficiency.
The rim speeds of most turbojet turbines range from 820 to 1000 fps.

Task 11. Read the following text and try to understand its subject matter.
Translate the text into Russian. Use the dictionary if necessary.
The general design of the turbine passages is based primarily on considerations
18

which are mainly fluid dynamical (гидрогазодинамический). The flow
conditions must be so designed that, for the required thrust output (тяга двигателя)
and mass flow (расход массы) of gas, the acoustic velocity (unity Mach number)* is
not reached at the outlet (выпускное отверстие) from the buckets (or in the ducting
downstream leading the exhaust gases away from the turbine, or in the exhaust
nozzle (выходное сопло)), for choking of the flow (запирание потока) occurs if
the Mach number in these flow passages attains the value unity (единица значения).
The critical Mach number is based on the axial (осевой) velocity of the gas in the
exit annulus (кольцо) from the turbine. The possibility of attaining unity Mach
number in the outlet from the turbine buckets (турбинные лопатки) is a
consideration to be investigated in Rateau stage turbines.
Disk and rim failures (повреждения) in turbo-jet turbines did occur in the early
development stages of this propulsion engine (тяговый двигатель). They have now
been overcome by the application of such methods as improved gas seals
(газонепроницаемое уплотнение), the incorporation of methods for cooling the
disk, and improved metallurgy. One of the major factors has been a better understanding of the metallurgical problem. Research has shown that if the disk operates
with high temperatures or steep temperature gradients (крутой температурный
коэффициент) it is likely to develop plastic deformation. If this occurs the stress
distribution (распределение напряжений) can no longer be based on conventional
elastic theory (теория упругих деформаций), and when the disk cools off after
operating it is subjected to large residual (остаточный) stresses. As a consequence
of the residual stresses there is a change in the natural vibration frequencies, which
are functions of the stress conditions. Furthermore, successive periods of plastic
strain (пластическая деформация), cooling, and then heating again modify the
stress-strain characteristics (зависимость между напряжениями и деформацией)
of the disk material and may lead to changes in its crystal structure. By applying the
remedies (способы устранения неисправностей) mentioned above these
difficulties can be avoided.
In turbo-jet engines employing a centrifugal (центробежный) compressor, the
turbine imposes no problem in the securing of small frontal area. The frontal area of
the turbine is much smaller than that of the compressor and combustion chamber
assembly (камера сгорания) and has little influence upon the overall size in that
type of application. Where the turbine drives an axial-flow (осевой) compressor the
frontal areas of the turbine and compressor become more nearly equal.
The turbine blades may be either solid or hollow (полый), the type of
construction being influenced by the material selected for their manufacture. The
hollow blade offers the advantages of being adapted to cooling by flowing cold air
through its interior (внутренняя сторона) and of reducing weight. The walls of the
blade are usually tapered (конический) so that the outer extremity (конец), where
the stress vanishes, is quite thin. The greatest benefit derived from cooling is at the
root (хвостовик, ножка) of the blade where the stresses are high; the outer edge,
because of its small stress, may be allowed to run hot.
