1.3 Flashcards
Power
Rate of doing work or the rate of expending energy
Motion
The act or process of chaning place or position
Velocity
Rate of change of distance with respect to time in a given directions
Acceleration
rate of change of velocity
Energy
ability to do work or bring about changes in matter
Inertia
property of body that tends to resist a change in its state of rest or motion
Jet propulsion
Force generated in direction opposite to the flow of gas under pressure
Standard Day
Barometric pressure: 29.92 inches of mercury(14.7 PSI at sea level)
Humidity: 0
Temp: 59f
Wind velocity: 0
brayton cycle
name given to thermodynamic cycle of gas turbine engine to produce thrust….
aka.. suck squeeze bang blow
Thrust
Driving force produced by gas turbine enegine
Static Thrust
Produced when aircraft or engine has no forward motion
Net Thrust
Thrust available to power the aircraft in flight
RPM
Revs per minute. increase rev = increase thrust
Outside Air Temp
Increase OAT = less density and less thrust
decrease OAT = more density and more thrust
Barometric Pressure
Will decrease with increase of altitude and engine efficency will decline
-Increase in barometric pressure will result in increase of density and thrust
