Basic Operating Principles Flashcards
What is Newton’s third law of motion?
For every force acting on a body, there is an opposite and equal reaction.
What is Boyles law?
A gas law, which states at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas will vary inversely as its pressure changes.
What is Charles’s law?
A law of physics states that if a gas is held at constant pressure, it will expand in direct relationship to the increase in its absolute temperature.
How can Newton’s third law of motion be applied to an engine?
The aircraft thrust a large amount of air backwards to give the aircraft acceleration forwards.
What is basic process thrust is produced through the engine?
By pushing a large mass at a relatively slow velocity or a high mass at a relatively fast velocity.
Explain the Brayton engine cycle?
Air at atmospheric pressure and is compressed and then heat is added thereby introducing the burning of fuel at s constant pressure, thereby considerably increasing its volume. Pressure is dropped through the combustion chambers. The gases resulting from the combustion expand through the turbine and jet pipe back into the atmosphere.
The difference between the Brayton cycle and the Otto cycle?
Combustion occurs at constant pressure, not a constant volume like the oyyo cycle.
The four actions act continous.
More fuel is burnt in a shorter time which allows for more power.
No reciporacating parts
