Jets Definition and 86 Threads

While watching the Discover Channel, they mentioned a jet of gas emitting from a black hole . . . . yet they say they are so powerful that not even light can escape them. So if not even light can escape the gravity, how would "jets of gas"? As a side note, . . . I realize that most of...

Hi, In the LHC particles are speed up to 7 TeV, smashing protons into "jets". I asked someone if these jets could also smash up surrounding protons and his answer was no because jets have far less energy. But he couldn't tell the energy difference, so my question is how much energy do these...

I fly model jets that utilize miniature gas turbine engines. If one wishes to introduce a smoke system, A smoke oil tank is installed on board, The smoke oil fluid is then pumped from the tank to a spray nozzle located at the exhaust outlet of the turbine (thrust nozzle). The smoke oil is then...

Q: do jets from Black Holes carry away the momentum from Black holes - in any form? Is matter in these jets rotating? Or may be particles carry the same spin?

Hello, I was wondering about this R-parameter that we have in Jet finding algorithms, what is it? How does it change the "physics" when we do jet findings in analysis? Any good introductory material would be really great if I could acquire it :-)

I know that a Hypernova release two huge jets of gamma rays, but I'm not real sure on how they are formed. Also it was mentioned that by following the burst of gamma rays, we're looking back in time. How is this actually possible. I have a shaky grasp on the idea.

So I've skimmed certain papers several years ago indicating that radio jets and other accretion-related emissions from black holes can be superluminal. Is this true, or is this just the relative motion of particles in some medium other than vacuum that exceeds the speed of light? I'm...

Homework Statement Two water jets collide and form one homogeneous jet as described below: Jet 1, with v=4 m/s, enters directly upwards through a pipe of diameter .10m into a connector pipe. Jet 2, with v= 6 m/s, enters from the left in a pipe of .12m diameter which is perpendicular to Jet...

Superluminal jets have been detected with speeds of up to 6c. Does anyone know where these high speed jets are detected? Are they near the centre of galaxies or near the edge of galaxies or somewhere else?

I just had general question about weather or not QM forces a limit on the minimum volume of a BH as well as explains the jets emitted by BH's. It seems obvious that QM would limit the minimum volumn of a BH based on Heisenbergs uncertainty principal. If the volumn were unbounded and could...

I was recently watching a program when "gas" jets, or more properly, plasma jets became a topic. In regards to black holes, I am interested in how such jets can form. I believe that it has something to do with the magnetic fields around a BH, but I am unsure as to how plasma jets form, and...

hi, I am a PhD student and I'm looking for a course or resources on the hadronic jets and the models used to deal with them in the code simulation GEANT4. (Example: Bertini model, cascade ...) I will be very greatfull if you can help me. Thank you in advance Sameh

Homework Statement What are jets, and how do they provide evidence for quarks. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution High energy collisions between hadron can cause quarks within hadrons to fly apart from each other at high energies. Before being observed as quarks, these...

Does anyone know much about them they're fascinating.

At first, I don't see any value in the cosmic censorship hypotesis. If ring singularity (RS) is directly observable (interesting how it looks like. Any simulations?) inside the second horizon, why outside we should be afraid to look at that beast? So I started to thing about RS and Jets...

Hello Jets Big and Small maybe the key to understanding the universe. On a side issue from the Quasars and cosmology post, since the file is locked. Response to Neried I understand your logic, your good. But! You said I'm quite awear of the huge and upto date papers on quasars...

So I know that F = P*A When you put a nozzle on a hose the area is smaller so does the pressure increase and the force stay the same, does the pressure stay the same and the force increase, or do they both change? Also if you poke a hole in the bottom of a bucket full of water will the...

2 part question. 1st part: I am givin the redshift of a quasar is .158 and Hubble constant of 65km/s/Mpc. I am asked to find the size of the jet(ly) as projected on the sky which has an angular measure of 15 arc secs. I've looked up ways and on any formulas that could help me but haven't...

this topic relates to my post in a threat relating to GLAST https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=240620 Super massive black holes eject jets of matter back out into space. The matter in these jets shoot out of the black hole at 99% the speed of light. However the escape velocity...

I have a few questions regarding these phenomena. 1. I don't quite understand what is going on in the picture. Obviously there is a spin on the black hole but why doesn't the gases get sucked straight towards the black hole. I know this is a simulated picture but I don't see how this would...

I don't know where to put this. But I was thinking about the force of a jet landing (actually stopping using the brakes) Is it possible that if all jets landed the same direction could it slow down or speed up the Earth's rotation after time? Because a jet using thrust to take off I don't...

Dominant decays of W/Z bosons are quark aintiquark pairs which decay into jets of hadrons. But how can a quark decay into a hadron? Surely as hadrons are bound states of quarks then hadrons are heavier and so quark->hadrons violates mass conservation (energy conservation). I know I'm...

i was reading about pulse jets and ram jets as part of my course on jet propulsion. all i was told was that they are aero-thermo-dynamic-ducts. couldn't understand what they mean. checked google, but the articles i got were vague. could someone explain what aero-thermo-dynamic-ducts are?

Hi! What do you know about Saturn's Nord Pole hexagon? Is sure than the Saturn's hexagon is owed to nothing else but his convection. Then we ask ourselves what fact makes the convection from the Saturn's North Pole. There are two possibilities: 1). the convection is due to a temperature...

hey guys, only my second post here, hope these boards are helpful! I have a problem for my fluid mechanics class and was wondering if anyone could help me out. i will post the question and the figures and what assumptions i have made due to the lack of information. Several holes are...

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn8933-bacteria-use-slime-jets-to-get-around.html Myxobacteria are quite an interesting bacteria because it's predatory and works as community very well. I wonder how fast the slime has be "oozed" out to create motion and how much energy is used. I am...

Teachers Question: Why are the air bases of super sonic jets usually located far away from cities? Your response should discuss wave properties. I don't know what to answer. I have searched everywhere for it. Please help me!

what are all that noises on passenger jets when flying with full load of passengers ? I thought it going to be really quiet on board but there is so much noise that one can't hardly sleep on board.

Ok, so I feel really stupid asking this question, but I guess you've got to start somewhere to reach somewhere, so here goes nothing: I have this report to write and the title of the report has got me a bit confused. The professor's asked me to "write and present a technical report abut high...

I read this about a black hole: "The extraordinary high pressure and temperature generated near the hole would cause some of the in-falling gas to be ejected along the direction of the black hole's spinning axis to create the galactic jet." How is it possible for "in falling gas" able to...

If tyres are deeply grooved and a high speed jet of air was deliberately sprayed into the grooves , could this enhance the grip via pressure reduction or does it result in an increase in pressure and decrease in grip?

I need to determine the distance of throw of a water jet in calm air(no wind). Is there anyone who has the equation ready as to say the throw T as a function of nozzle diameter, water speed at nozzle outlet (or pressure at nozzle inlet) and angle of the nozzle? Thank you for any help you...

I was thinking that I keep hearing that their seeing particle streams being ejected from black holes and don't know how or why.i was thinking that about something else i heared is that at the event horizon the particle pairs come in and out of existence,then allihilate one another as matter,anti...
