Impact Of a Jet Introduction: Over the years‚ engineers have found many ways to utilize the force that can be imparted by a jet of fluid on a surface diverting the flow. For example‚ the pelt on wheel has been used to make flour. Further more‚ the impulse turbine is still used in the first and sometimes in the second stages of steam turbine. Firemen make use of the kinetic energy stored in a jet to deliver water above the level in the nozzle to extinguish fires in high-rise buildings

A jet engine‚ like a rocket engine‚ is a reaction engine. It works by throwing mass in one direction and taking advantage of the reaction in the opposite direction. In the case of a jet engine‚ the engine burns fuel (like kerosene) with air from the atmosphere. The burning fuel heats and expands the air‚ and this hot air shoots out of the exhaust-end of the engine to create thrust. Most modern jet engines use a turbine to improve the efficiency of the engine and allow the engine to work at low speeds
