This jet model consists of:1. Front frame containing VIGV’s ( http://armyaviation.tpub.com/AL0993/AL09930260.htm ) Jet Engine's Variable Inlet Guide Vanes - VIGV ,2. Compressor unit, it consists of 13 stage compressor and stator unit having outlet guide vanes at the end ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_compressor ) ,3. Diffuser which contains the liquid fuel nozzles here the mixture of fuel compressed air is passed on to the combustion chamber,4. Combustion chambers, it consists of 8 chambers connected together with cross fire tubes and allows the flames to travel between all of them. Out of 8 chambers 2 have the igniter plugs.5. Turbine unit, it consists of 3 stage turbine and nozzle unit. Now, when the high-temperature high-pressure gas enters a turbine, where it expands down to the exhaust pressure, producing a shaft work output in the process. The turbine shaft work is used to drive the compressor and other devices such as an electric generator that may be coupled to the shaft. The purpose of nozzles is to direct the gases on the turbine blades.6. Rear bearing housing, it consists of thermocouples that are used to measure the exhaust gas temperature.7. After burner unit, it consists of fuel unit, igniter, jet pipe and the nozzle unit. The fuel unit consists of fuel lines and 21 fuel injector nozzles which injects the fuel in the jet pipe where the exhaust gases containing the remaining oxygen burns.
