How do you make a turbofan more efficient? Connecticut based engine maker Pratt & Whitney (P&W) approached this dilemma by simply adding a gear. Their new PurePower PW1000G series engine utilizes an advanced gear system that allows the engine’s fan to operate at a different speed than the low-pressure compressor and turbine. The new gear system‚ along with an all new highly advanced core‚ delivers double digit improvements in fuel efficiency‚ environmental emissions and noise. Although this isn’t

computers. His first‚ the Difference Engine‚ was to some extent completed in the early 1830s‚ but not the way he planned. The Analytical Engine‚ his second and more complicated design was never completed at all‚ but both had the probability of being very powerful‚ especially for that era (Bellis). Charles Babbage developed the analytical engine project after an earlier computing project‚ the difference engine‚ which he started in 1822. The difference engine could solve polynomial equations using

The main purpose of this chapter is to identify and review theories on steam engine and to identify the deficiencies of those theories. Related Literature In general usage‚ the term ‘steam’ is the invisible vapor into which water is converted when it boils. On the contrary‚ it is the cloud of water droplets formed by the partial

The Brayton Cycle (Jet Engine) Purpose and Objective: The purpose and objective of this experiment is to understand the basic operation of a brayton cycle also to demonstrate the application of basic equations for Brayton cycle analysis. Technical Background: The Brayton cycle depicts the air standard model of a gas turbine power cycle and is used in all applications involving turbine engines; such as jet engines. A simple gas turbine is comprised of three

It includes super-chargers‚ appurtenances‚ and accessories necessary for its functioning but does not include propellers. The main types of aircraft engines are reciprocating‚ gas turbine‚ turboprop‚ fan-jets‚ and ramjets. Normally referred to as an aero engine.

the centrifugal supercharger. This marks the application of turbo-machinery to engines. In 1908 Lorin proposed the forerunner of the motorjet (we will see this shortly)‚ where air flow from behind the propeller was directed to a combustion chamber to produce jet thrust at the rear of an aircraft. Next in 1917 Morize (in France) proposes and Harris (in England) patents the motorjet. In a motorjet a conventional engine is used to drive a compressor which pumps compressed air into a combustion chamber

Industrial Revolution in Great Britain Industrialization in general changed the way we live but it impacted our lives the most when it came to Great Britain. Simple ores such as coal and the use of metals to make engines aided the British and the rest of the world into making their lives much easier while increasing production of product allowing them to make more money. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain the mid-18th starting with the transition from handmade goods to machine made

theory though. Through the thesis and designs of many other great minds such as‚ the Wright Brothers‚ Henri Coanda‚ and Whittle‚ the first successful jet engine flight was done in Germany in September of 1937 by von Ohain. His design was powered by a gasoline combustor and a plane created mainly around being as light as possible. The fighter jet engines started mass production at the beginning of World War I as preparation for the battles. These first fighter jets were designed for very short trips and
