Intro Flashcards
What are the two energy types?
Kinetic & potential
What is the equation for kinetic energy?
1/2massvelocity^2
What is the equation for potential energy?
mgh
State all 3 of newton’s laws?
1st: inertial law
2nd: mass*acceleration = force
3rd: equal and opposite reactions
What are the 4 stages of the brayton cycle?
Suck, squeeze, bang, blow
What does the suck stage include?
Intake
What does the squeeze section include?
Compression
What does the bang section include?
Expansion & combustion
What does the blow stage include?
Exhaust with a decrease in pressure and increase in velocity
What are the 4 ideal changes of state?
-isobaric
-isochoric
-isothermal
-isentropic
What is the compressor’s main function?
To increase static pressure
What is a state change in terms of airflow?
air changed because of heat energy transferring to mechanical work and vice versa. Caused by heat addition, cooling or expansion & compression
