Although jet aircraft were not flown regulary until the 1940s, the idea of an engine producing power by shooting out a stream of gases and compressed air behind it goes back a long way. It is said that the British scientisr Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) thought of using the idea in a stream carriage as long ago 1687. Two hundred years later an aeroplane drives by steam jets was designed, although it was never built. Then, at the beginning of the ...

Introduction:
The development of the gas turbine engines as an aircraft power plant has been so rapid that it is difficult to appreciate that prior to the 1950's very few people had heard of this method of aircraft propulsion. The possibility of using a reaction jet had interested aircraft designers for a long time, but initially the low speed of early aircraft and the unsuitability of a piston engine for producing the large high velocity ai ...

Both types are driven by the engine turbine and are usually coupled direct to the turbine shaft.
The centrifugal flow compressor (fig. 3-1) is a single or two-stage unit employing an impeller to accelerate the air and a diffuser to produce the required pressure rise. The axial flow compressor (fig. 3- 7 and fig. 3-8) is a multi-stage unit employing alternate rows of rotating (rotor) blades and station¬ary (stator) vanes, to accelerate and diff ...

Centrifugal flow compressors have a single or double-sided impeller and occasionally a two-stage, single sided impeller is used, as on the Rolls-Royce Dart. The impeller is supported in a casing that also contains a ring of diffuser vanes. If a double-entry impeller is used, the airflow to the rear side is reversed in direction and a plenum chamber is required
Principles of operation
The Impeller is rotated at high speed by the turbine an ...

An axial flow compressor (fig. 3-7 and fig. 3-8) consists of one or more rotor assemblies that carry blades of airfoil section. These assemblies are mounted between bearings in the casings, which incorporate the stator vanes. The compressor is a multi-stage unit as the amount of pressure increase by each stage is small; a stage consists of a row of rotating blades followed by a row of stator vanes. Where several stages of compression operate in ...

INTRODUCTION
The combustion chamber has the difficult task of burning large quantities of fuel. supplied through the fuel spray nozzles. With extensive volumes of air supplied by the compressor and releasing the heat in such a manner that the air IS expanded and accelerated to give a smooth stream of uniformly heated gas at all conditions required by the turbine. This task must be accomplished with the minimum loss in pressure and with the m ...

INTRODUCTION
The turbine has the task of providing the power to drive the compressor and accessories and, in the case of engines which do not make use solely of a jet for propulsion, of providing shaft power for a propeller or rotor It does this by extracting energy from the hot gases released from the combustion system and expanding them to a lower pressure and temperature. High stresses are involved in this process, and for efficient opera ...

Rockets with solid propellant
Function: A solid propellant is a monopropellant fuel-a single mixture of several chemicals (the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent or fuel). This fuel, as implied, is in its solid state and has a preformed or moulded shape. The propellant grain, this interior shape of the core is an important factor in determining a rocket\'s performance. The variables determining grain-relative performance are core surfac ...

Technical Overview
Before we examine the tariff provisions involved and get into the inner workings of the tariff classification process, a brief primer on engine technology would be helpful.
Most sources commonly define an engine as a machine or apparatus for converting energy into mechanical power or motion. The engine\'s purpose is to translate the potential energy locked in a fuel into a rotating force called \"torque\", which is a twist ...

1 England or Britain
The different names of the several countries in the United Kingdom are a little bit confusing. People often talk about England or Great Britain, although they mean the United Kingdom. In fact, there is England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Southern Ireland and the islands north-west of France.
Great Britain is the name of the island which includes England, Scotland and Wales, but does not include Northern Ireland. Wh ...

On the 10 of December in 1948 a revolution took place in Paris. Under the shock of war and crime against humanity the Declaration of Human Rights was passed by the General Assembly of the United Nations. This declaration should be the beginning of a new era. It laid down the rights of everyone and told governments to respect and protect these rights.
But about 50 years later the Declaration of Human Rights is more than only a patient paper.
