Propelling nozzle — A propelling nozzle is a component of a jet engine that is found at the tail of the engine that operates to form an exhaust jet and to maximise the use of the exhaust gas s energy throughout the engine so that the maximum overall thrust is… … Wikipedia
de Laval nozzle — Diagram of a de Laval nozzle, showing approximate flow velocity (v), together with the effect on temperature (t) and pressure (p) A de Laval nozzle (or convergent divergent nozzle, CD nozzle or con di nozzle) is a tube that is pinched in the… … Wikipedia
De Laval nozzle — A de Laval nozzle (or convergent divergent nozzle, CD nozzle or con di nozzle) is a tube that is pinched in the middle, making an hourglass shape. It is used as a means of accelerating the flow of a gas passing through it to a supersonic speed.… … Wikipedia

Compressor map — Each compressor (or fan) in a gas turbine engine has an operating map. Complete maps are either based on compressor rig test results or are predicted by a special computer program. Alternatively the map of a similar compressor can be suitably… … Wikipedia
Rocket engine — RS 68 being tested at NASA s Stennis Space Center. The nearly transparent exhaust is due to this engine s exhaust being mostly superheated steam (water vapor from its propellants, hydrogen and oxygen) … Wikipedia
Components 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… … Wikipedia
Turbojet — Turbojets are the oldest kind of general purpose jet engines. Two engineers, Frank Whittle in the United Kingdom and Hans von Ohain in Germany, developed the concept independently during the late 1930s, although credit for the first turbojet is… … Wikipedia
Ramjet — A ramjet, sometimes referred to as a stovepipe jet, or an athodyd, is a form of jet engine that contains no major moving parts. Unlike most other airbreathing jet engines, ramjets have no rotary compressor at the inlet, instead, the forward… … Wikipedia
