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.

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.
