torquemeter
Aerospace; Control systems
Hydromechanical torque-measuring device located in the reduction-gear section of the inlet housing. The measurement is read as torque oil pressure in psi.
torquemeter indicating system
Aerospace; Control systems
Pressure indicator for continuous readings of engine output-shaft torque.
transient conditions
Aerospace; Control systems
Conditions which may occur briefly while accelerating or decelerating or while passing through a specific range of engine operation.
turbine nozzle
Aerospace; Control systems
Stationary nozzle which discharges a jet of gas against the blades on the periphery of a turbine wheel.
turbine rotor
Aerospace; Control systems
Rotating portion of a turbine engine. It is made of specially alloyed steel because of severe centrifugal loads, the result of high rotational speeds.
turbine section
Aerospace; Control systems
Part of the turbine engine that extracts the kinetic energy of the expanding gases and transforms it into shaft horsepower.
turbojet
Aerospace; Control systems
Engine most commonly used in high-speed, high-altitude aircraft.
