1Pressure measurement — The construction of a bourdon tube gauge, construction elements are made of brass Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. Instruments used to measure pressure are called pressure gauges or vacuum gauges. A… …
2Pressure — This article is about pressure in the physical sciences. For other uses, see Pressure (disambiguation). Pressure as exerted by particle collisions inside a closed container …
3inlet pressure — i. The total pressure taken in the engine inlet as a measure of air density. This parameter is sent to the fuel control for fuel scheduling. It is normally known as P1 pressure. ii. As it relates to the performance data on pumps, when not… …
4static RPM — The maximum RPM of a reciprocating engine when it is not moving through the air. The static RPM is lower than when the aircraft is moving, as forward movement rams air into the carburetor inlet, increases manifold pressure, and, hence, increases… …
5Diverterless supersonic inlet — Testing of the F 35 Diverterless Supersonic Inlet on an F 16 testbed. The original intake is shown in the top image. A diverterless supersonic inlet (DSI) is a type of jet engine air intake used by some modern combat aircraft to control air flow… …
6Jet 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 …
7Turbofan — [ CFM56 3 turbofan, lower half, side view.] A turbofan is a type of jet engine, similar to a turbojet. It essentially consists of a ducted fan with a smaller diameter turbojet engine mounted behind it that powers the fan. Part of the airstream… …
8Components 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… …
9Centrifugal fan — Figure 1: Components of a centrifugal fan Figure 2: Centrifugal fan …
10Dust collector — Two rooftop dust collectors in Pristina, Kosovo A dust collector is a system used to enhance the quality of air released from industrial and commercial processes by collecting dust and other impurities from air or gas. Designed to handle heavy… …
