If a hypersonic jet (Mach 10) were to experience sudden engine failure at high altitude what would happen? Would it continue traveling forward, slowly decelerating and descending, thereby giving the pilot chance to attempt a controlled engine restart? Or would the jet experience catastrophic...

Why is a "potential core" region of a jet called a "potential core"? We all know that there exists a region called "potential core" in a jet where there are no mean velocity gradients. My question is, why is it called a "potential" core?

Homework Statement A jet is flying horizontally, as the drawing shows. When the plane is directly overhead at B, a person on the ground hears the sound coming from A in the drawing. The average temperature of the air is 20 oC. If the speed of the plane at A is 180 m/s, what is its speed at...

Can someone give me an go ahead of how I can calculate the energy associated with an axis symmetric jet? I have included the schematic of the flow as an attachment.

Using a series of focal reflectors, built in antenna strategically placed for proper phasing the EMF amplification system. Kinda like a space hyper engine. Possible? I can draw some blueprints I think.

I am looking at some propane jet burner. They rated higher BTU than the regular burner. What is the difference between them and the advantage and disadvantage? Thanks

Homework Statement A stellar object at some known large distance ejects a ‘jet’ at speed v towards an observer obliquely, making an angle θ with the line of sight. To the observer the jet appears to be ejected sideways at speed V . Prove V = c sin θ (c/v − cos θ )−1 , and show that this...

Hello I am trying to validate my model by comparing a simple axisymetric 2D impacting flow of air on a surface. The geometry is simple: a cylindrical (diameter d=26.5e-3[m]) jet of air (debit Speed Ud=13.46[m/s]) is impacting a surface at distance H=0.2833[m]. Flow temp is Tj=20°C Wall...

Hi, Please can anyone explian what is cyclic symmetry? I'm new to this term and have encountered this in jet engine example Vishal

Homework Statement In the somewhat ‘archaic’ inkjet printers, letters are built up by squirting drops of ink at the paper from a rapidly moving nozzle. The pattern on the paper is controlled by an electrostatic valve that determines at each nozzle position whether ink is squirted onto the...

This one is actually for a lab assignment. In the experiment you shoot a jet of water upward vertically at a variety of targets with different geometries (a flat plate, various cups). The target is suspended from a rod, and on top of the rod is a cup where you can add weights, held up by a...

Why can't Jet planes fly in space? Is is because it doesn't get lift or is it due to the absence of atmosphere?

Let's suppose one wanted to move a wheeled, land-based vehicle. Generally, which would be more efficient, and why? Using a jet of air straight out the back (like the Batmobile seen in the 1989 Batman movie) or absorbing most of jet's thrust through a turbine and delivering that force to the...

Jet propelled Black Holes by ion engine? Might asymmetry of jets for BH, together with Newton’s Third Law, result in high velocity over time, from an ion engine? Perhaps even several 100 km/s? Might Large Synoptic Telescope detect motion of associated binary massive star?

Homework Statement A circular jet of water of radius r1 is propelled vertically downwards and hits a circular plate of radius r2 (> r1 ) so that the centre of the jet is incident onto the centre of the plate. The velocity of the jet as it hits the plate is v and is normal to the plate...

Can anybody point me in the direction of some documentation that can help me to distinguish between these two fuels? I have been searching for hours and I keep coming across articles that use these as sample fuels in experiments, but none that actually describes the numbering convention? I...

Suppose there is a plate with area A, on which jet of air with velocity 'v' is striking, then force on it will be = (density) * A* v^2 But if we go by basics i.e. F = d(mv)/dt = v d(m)/dt + m d(v)/ dt here i am not able to figure out that why the second term i.e. m d(v)/ dt is zero...

Homework Statement The major difference between a jet engine and a rocket engine is that a rocket carries its own oxidizer, usually in the form of liquid oxygen (LOX). A jet takes in air from the atmosphere as it moves, uses it to burn the fuel, and then ejects all the gases out the back...

Dear Internet- As part of an introductory Astronomy course, it is time to compile a mock research proposal, specifically to give us an idea of what real scientists do. The purpose of it is to focus on a particular not-yet-understood phenomenon of astronomy, and describe the process we would...

Hi everyone! I'm a pilot on a private jet, in conversation one of the crew mentioned that "You get younger when flying." Now I had to correct him saying that actually it's just that time slows down as you go faster. Unfortunately for the flight attendant, going faster also means that she puts...

Hello, I have a question regarding jet engines. Fighter craft such as the F-14, and more obviously (from a visual stand point) the F-105 have some sort of device that controls air flowing to the compressor. Apparently the air must be slowed to subsonic speeds in order to avoid stalling the...

I've been intrigued lately by pulse jet engines and their simplicity. Unfortunately, they are notoriously loud and inefficient. I've come up with a design that I think may improve both of those, but before trying to actually build it, I thought it would be a good idea to try to model it first...

Good Evening all Ok confesions first I am an engineer not a physicist. However i have a problem i hope you can help with. How do you calculated the distance water will travel from a jet on the horazontal through water itself. I know i have a jet oriface of 4mm, i have 53.33 litres per...

1. I am trying to come up with an explanation as to why the force on a plate as provided by a jet of air, does not vary with the distance from the plate. We set up in a lab a vertical pointing air jet giving a constant output and gradually increased the height of the plate above the jet whilst...

My friends (all A&P Aircraft mechanics) say I'm nuts. A co-worker and I attended a Honneywell TFE731 jet engine maintenance school. During the class the instructor asked this question, "which side of the front fan on a TFE731 engine has the highest pressure?" His answer was the front. (we are...

Ball thrown into a vertical jet? Homework Statement Like any good physicist, I always have a ball in my pocket to throw into the vertical jet of any fountain I happen to find. The result is entertaining (at least I think so). Explain, with a sketch, what you expect to see (you need not...

How to choose thermodynamic cycle for designing new jet engine? While designing new jet engine what parameters are important for choosing thermodynamic cycle? what other parameters are important for jet engine designing?

I just read an article about recently observed jets emitted from a black hole, apparently due to the extreme acceleration of something falling into it. Now I'm wondering what would happen if the object accelerating into the black hole was another black hole. Yes, black holes are expected to...

A pulse jet has only one moving part. Nice. But what if it didn't need any moving parts? Stupid idea, right? Check out this stupid idea. They're all over the internet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U-grFuXZ9U&feature=related"

If Astronomers stated that they had using the Hubble telescope found a remote island on the Earth with 1000 meter tall Homo sapiens we would based on scientific knowledge and logic concerning the biological limits of animal structure (any land based animal that moves on the surface of the earth)...

why jet engines are attached to the wings of the airplane ,not other part?:confused:
