  • It is an internal combustion engine that uses one or more reciprocating piston
    Reciprocating engine
  • A rotary engine that extracts energy from a flow of combustion gases.
    Turbine engine
  • Ambient air is drawn into the engine intake where an _ or a _ compressor (or both) increases both the pressure and temperature of the air before feeding it into the combustion chamber.
    axial and centrifugal
  • 2 means to keep pressurization air cool enough
    Heat exchanger and full air cycle air conditioning system
  • The compression of air _ its temperature
    raises
  • Turboprop aircraft often use this device
    turbocompressor
  • Outside air is drawn in and compressed. It is mixed with the bleed air outflow from the turbine and is sent to the pressure vessel.
    Turbine engine compressor
  • What is the advantage of the jet pump flow multiplier?
    lack of moving parts
  • The disadvantage of the jet pump flow multiplier is only a _ can be pressurized in this manner.
    relatively small volume of space
  • Mounted in air ducting that has one end open to the ambient air and the other end directed into the compartment to be pressurized.
    venturi jet pump
  • Smaller turbine aircraft, or sections of a large aircraft, may make use of a
    jet pump flow multiplier
  • With this device, bleed air is tapped off of the turbine engine's compressor section
    jet pump flow multiplier
  • 2 different ways hot, high pressure bleed air can be exploited are
    Jet pump flow multiplier and turbine engine compressor
  • Modern large-cabin turbofan engine aircraft contain recirculation fans to reuse up to _ percent of the air in the cabin, maintaining high engine output
    50
  • The main principle of operation of this engine involves the compression of large amounts of air to be mixed with fuel and burned.
    Turbine engine
  • This engine is relatively free of contaminants. As such, it is a great source of air for cabin pressurization.
    Bleed air
  • The limiting factors for determining the design ceiling of most reciprocating aircraft, which typically does not exceed _ feet.
    25,000
  • Near _, the performance of any reciprocating engine and the pressurization compressor suffer.
    maximum operating altitude
  • This engine aircraft overcome these shortcomings, permitting them to fly at much higher altitudes
    turbine engine aircraft
  • Turbine engine aircraft overcome these shortcomings, permitting them to fly at much _ altitudes
    higher
  • Both _ and _ are oil lubricated
    superchargers and turbochargers
  • This is part of the fuel intake system
    Supercharger
  • This is part of the exhaust system
    Turbocharger
  • This component is driven by the exhaust
    Turbine
  • This component pressurizes the incoming air
    Compressor
  • Sometimes known as "turbosuperchargers"
    Turbchargers
  • Is driven by engine exhaust gases
    Turbochargers
  • Is the most common source of pressurization on modern reciprocating engine aircraft
    Turbochargers
  • What are the 2 components of turbochargers?
    Turbine and compressor
  • By using some of the turbocharger compressed air for cabin pressurization, less is available for the intake charge, resulting in _ overall engine performance
    lower
  • What are the two types of engine driven compressor?
    Belt driven and gear driven
  • An independent, dedicated compressor for pressurization
    engine driven compressor
  • Engine driven compressor avoids some of the potential contamination issues of _ and _.
    Superchargers and turbochargers
  • The _ does, however, add significant weight. It also consumes engine output since it is engine driven
    compressor device
  • Is used to maintain a constant rate of airflow during changes of engine rpm
    Ratio gear drive system
  • A type of engine driven compressor that is also found on reciprocating engine aircraft
    Independent engine-driven centrifugal compressor
  • Found on older pressurized aircraft is gear driven by the engine. It pressurizes air as the rotors rotate very close to each other without touching.
    Roots blower
  • Can be used as a source of pressurization if it is upstream of carburetion.
    Supercharger
  • Mechanically driven by the engine
    Supercharger
  • Have limited capability to increase engine performance.
    Superchargers
