present-day design‚ and a future that will blow modern standards out of the sky. As unlikely as it seems‚ the first drawings of a fighter jet were around the year 100 A.D. by Hero of Alexandria. In his design‚ the “jet” was operated by a simple steam turbine. Many centuries later in 1867‚ two men‚ James Butler and E. Edwards designed a flying vehicle also powered by steam. Their design was based on the paper airplane. The design and theory created by these two men never escaped the realm of theory though

Brett Erina The argument of whether or not wind turbines produce ailments seems to be quite controversial in claiming who is right and wrong between Dr. David Colby and Dr. Bob McMurtry. Its hard to judge who should be named correct and accurate based on the information given‚ but with the support of assessing someone’s credibility‚ I would have to lean more towards Colby’s theory. There is sufficient reasoning behind selecting either one of these doctors‚ as they are in fact‚ both licensed doctors

Steam Turbines: A look into how a steam turbine functionsStacy L. Rousseau EE ’03 At a time when energy is such an issue in our country‚ it may be surprising to realize that the major technology involved in producing electrical energy today was developed over a century ago by Charles G. Curtis: the steam turbine. The aim of a steam turbine is to produce the maximum amount of electrical energy in the minimum amount of space. Today‚ steam turbines produce more electrical energy than any other system

finally exhausted out of the engine. This creates thrust in the engine and causes the vehicle to propel forward or backwards. These steps are carried out by the five major engine components: the fan‚ compressor‚ combustor‚ turbine‚ and exhaust nozzle. The compressor and turbine contain high and low pressures. These components are shown in Figure 1. In Figure 2‚ it shows all the 5 main components of the engine starting from 1 and then towards the end to 5.

The V-n diagram usually focuses on both positive and negative loads‚ however since there is little knowledge known about the box wing‚ for simplicity‚ the positive loads are assumed to be more significant. Hence‚ if the box wings are optimised with the positive loads‚ the negative loadings will also be covered due to its least significance. The 3.5g pull out of dive is known as the most extreme load which is closest to critical pressures for distortion‚ as shown in figure (3.4). Hence using this

MODULE III DIVERSION HEAD WORKS A hydraulic structure which supplies water to the off taking canal is called a head work. Head works are of two types. 1.Storage head works 2.Diversion head works. 1.Storage head works. It stores water during the period of excess supplies in the river and releases it when demand overtakes available supplies. 1.Diversion head works It serves to divert the required supply in to the canal from the river. A diversion head works serves the following

However‚ one starts to wonder whenever someone finds that a single engine is able to keep a Boeing 747 aloft for over four hours. With the rate that technology has advanced in the prior 100 years‚ the possibilities for development of new aircraft powerplants are unlimited. One of the most recent
