  2. Nutation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutation_(engineering)

    A nutating disc engine was patented in 1993 and a prototype was reported in 2006. The engine consisted of an internal disk wobbling on a Z-shaped shaft. [2] Nutation has also been used in drive systems for gearboxes, with proposed uses including helicopter rotors, seat recliners and a European Space Agency probe [which?] to Mercury. [3] [4]

  3. Time between overhauls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_between_overhauls

    Time between overhauls (abbreviated as TBO or TBOH) is the manufacturer's recommended number of running hours or calendar time before an aircraft engine or other component requires overhaul. [1] On rotorcraft, many components have recommended or mandatory TBOs, including main rotor blades, tail rotor blades and gearboxes. [2]

  4. Disk loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_loading

    The C-27J uses the same engines as the MV-22, but has higher disk loading. Piston-powered light utility helicopters like this Robinson R22 have relatively low main rotor disk loading. In fluid dynamics, disk loading or disc loading is the average pressure change across an actuator disk, such as an airscrew.

  5. Nutating disc engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutating_disc_engine

    U.S. patent number 5,251,594 was granted to Leonard Meyer of Illinois in 1993 for a "nutating internal combustion disc engine". [1] The Meyer Nutating Engine is a new type of internal combustion engine with higher power density than conventional reciprocating piston engines and which can operate on a variety of fuels, including gasoline, heavy fuels and hydrogen.

  6. Rotordynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotordynamics

    Rotordynamics (or rotor dynamics) is a specialized branch of applied mechanics concerned with the behavior and diagnosis of rotating structures. It is commonly used to analyze the behavior of structures ranging from jet engines and steam turbines to auto engines and computer disk storage.

  7. Losses in steam turbines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losses_in_steam_turbines

    Frictional resistance is offered during the flow of steam through nozzles on moving and stationary blades. In most turbines, the blade wheels rotate in a space full of steam. The viscous friction at the wheel surface causes admission losses as steam passes from nozzle to wheel. The effect of partial admission creates eddies in the blade channels.
