Jet engine

A jet engine is a sort of engine that releases a quick moving jet of gas to produce thrust as per Newton's third law of motion. This expansive meaning of jet engines incorporates turbojets, turbofans, rockets, ramjets, pulse jets and pump-jets, yet in like but in common term usage, the term commonly refers to a gas turbine Brayton cycle engine, an type of engine with a revolving compressor fueled by a turbine, with the remaining energy providing thrust. In today’s modern age of aviation, jet engines are so well known, becoming commonplace in the present day world that gas turbines are now and then erroneously alluded to as s specific use jet engine, rather than being the other way around. The vast majority of jet engines are a simplified version…

Engineering Independent research project Jet Aircraft vs. Propeller Aircraft While hybrid engines and electric cars have begun to change the way we travel, the airplane still remains the fastest and most efficient way of travelling long distances. The 1903 invention of the airplane has kept relatively the same principle. During its hundred plus years the idea has only experienced several major advancements. The most notable of these being the jet engine. Today the jet engine and the propellor…

The long white trails that follow an airplane, streaking across the sky, can be wondered by children and adults. People consider these lingering streaks beautiful, but many are alarmed by them. People all around the world have come up with theories on these chemtrails. Although these trails may seem beautiful, they can be harmful. Jet engines spew out very hot air, and because the water vapor is one the the byproducts of the exhaust, the air is also very humid. When the jets fly, the air in the…

system consists of an aircraft engine and propellers or propulsive nozzle for producing thrust. An aircraft propulsion system must achieve two things. First, the system should be able to produce enough thrust that it must be equivalent to the drag on cruising airplane. Secondly its thrust should be able to exceed the drag on the airplane so that it can accelerate. The greater the excess thrust the faster will plan accelerate. Some aircrafts like airliners or cargo planes use high bypass fans…

Jet engines are commonly known to be on various aircraft. Whether it be an airplane or a rocket, jet engines are what allow these aircraft to fly through the air at tremendous speeds. In 1926, Frank Whittle had to write a thesis in order to graduate from officer training. Whittle chose his thesis topic to be over the future of aviation. In his paper, he discussed that with the way planes were gaining thrust, which was by propellers, the planes would never be able to fly higher than twenty…

soldering an electrical circuit or building a model plane and say, “You’re going to be an engineer!” So I studied mechanical engineering, got a job with a big aerospace company, and I liked it. Intellectually, it was a perfect fit for me: solving intricate problems all day. But something was missing. It all seemed a little abstract: did this gas turbine engine component I designed have any direct impact on the world? Did it actually help anyone? I assumed if I took on bigger and bigger…

The analysis of turbines is no easy feat to accomplish. With an ever expanding need to generate efficient energy, a way to increase efficiency is to find ways to improve turbine technology. The best way to analyze different turbine set ups is the usage of a turbine test rig. There are multitudes of types of these rigs with reasons for and against them. These rigs are incredibly expensive to build and keep up. But they provide vital information about turbine performance and enable the improvement…

John H Johnson was one of the most influential African-American historian that I've ever studied because he started his own company in a black community full of poverty which was often invaded by white supremacists. In his magazine, he supported black civil rights leaders by writing about the struggle for the children and businesses. Though he grew up in poverty, he tried very hard to get a good education this lead him to write and read extremely well. He started Jet magazine with a 500 dollar…

A small portion of it can be found in some certain food such as meat and fruits. Our internal “clock” in our bodies that controls the sleep and wake cycles can also control the amount of melatonin our bodies makes. During late evening and night the melatonin remains high until morning when it starts to drop again. However, light affects how much of this hormone our body is producing. Which can interfere with our body’s Circadian cycle. The result of the disruption in these activities can cause…

4 Tips to survive Daylight Savings with Children “Daylight Savings”… are curse words for moms along with “Time Change” and “Fall Back”. Two times a year, we feel the need to mess with our sleep schedules that we spend the rest of the year working to perfect so that mommies can have alone time, or clean up time, or even wine time., no judgment! I’m originally from the Saskatchewan myself, one of the few places in the world next to Hawaii that does not observe daylight savings. Our reason was…
