The General Electric F404 and F412 are a family of afterburning turbofan engines in the 10,500–19,000 lbf (47–85 kN) class (static thrust). The series is produced by GE Aerospace . Partners include Volvo Aero , which builds the RM12 variant.
The F414 uses the core and full-authority digital engine control (FADEC) from the F412, and the low-pressure system from the YF120 engine developed for the Advanced Tactical Fighter competition. One of the major differences between the F404 and the F414 is the fan section. The F414 fan is larger than that of the F404, but smaller than the F412 ...
Dry water or empty water, a form of "powdered liquid", is an air–water emulsion in which water droplets are surrounded by a silica coating. [1] Dry water consists of 95% liquid water, but the silica coating prevents the water droplets from combining and turning back into a bulk liquid. [ 2 ]
Produced by Volvo Aero, the RM12 is a derivative of the General Electric F404J. The fan was completely redesigned with thickened first stage blades which deform (causing the thrust loss) but do not fracture or cause downstream damage to pass more flow for higher thrust and to be more tolerant of a bird-strike.
Direct reduction processes can be divided roughly into two categories: gas-based and coal-based. In both cases, the objective of the process is to remove the oxygen contained in various forms of iron ore (sized ore, concentrates, pellets, mill scale, furnace dust, etc.) in order to convert the ore to metallic iron, without melting it (below 1,200 °C (2,190 °F)).
A dry well or drywell is an underground structure that disposes of unwanted water, most commonly surface runoff and stormwater, in some cases greywater or water used in a groundwater heat pump. It is a gravity-fed , vertical underground system that can capture surface water from impervious surfaces , then store and gradually infiltrate the ...
Introduced in 1987 with a 16 litres engine, that's where the named was derived from like F10 and F12. The new model now held the flagship tractor title of the Volvo not only Volvo, but also it was the most powerful tractor of Europe beating MAN 19462, Mercedes-Benz 1644, Iveco turbostar 190.42 and Scania 2-series producing 460hp from an in house TD162F engine was also an inline six engines ...
Although Williams originally designed these small turbofans to power target drones while aiming for a contract in the Subsonic Cruise Armed Decoy (SCAD) program, it quickly became apparent that these were valuable tools to be used in the future to power advanced cruise missiles.
