11jet — i. An aircraft powered by one or more gas turbine engines. ii. A gas turbine engine may be referred to as a jet engine. iii. A strong, well defined stream of fluid either issuing from an orifice or moving in a contracted duct, such as the jet of… …
12jet pump — noun : a pump in which a small jet of steam, air, water, or other fluid in rapid motion lifts or otherwise moves by its impulse a large quantity of the fluid with which it mingles * * * jet pump, a pump in which a liquid column moves at high… …
13jet stream — A narrow band of high velocity wind in the upper troposphere or in the stratosphere …
14jet wake — The stream of hot, high velocity gases coming out the exhaust of a gas turbine engine …
15Components of jet engines — Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the fan blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which… …
16Airbreathing jet engine — An airbreathing jet engine (or ducted jet engine) is a jet engine propelled by a jet of hot exhaust gases formed from air that is drawn into the engine via an inlet duct. All practical airbreathing jet engines are internal combustion engines that …
17Jet engine performance — This article describes how jet engine performance is estimated during the design phase. Similar techniques are used once the engine has been built and is being tested, except the performance of individual components, rather than being assumed, is …
18Jet pack — For other meanings see Jetpack (disambiguation). : The Martin Jetpack, despite its name, has no jets or rockets, but is a small helicopter, and is discussed as such. Jet pack, rocket belt, rocket pack, and similar names, are various types of… …
19jet engine — An engine based on Newton’s third law of motion that is, to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The engine takes in air, which is combusted along with fuel, and expels the hot gases at a very high speed. A normal jet or gas… …
20Eductor-jet pump — An eductor jet pump or aspirator can be used for draining areas which may contain combustible fluids (which could ignite if exposed to the workings of a standard electric or internal combustion powered pump) or high levels of debris which could… …
