  2. Heinkel He 178 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinkel_He_178

    However, the jet engines that would be developed by Junkers and BMW would differ considerably from those engines used by the He 178, instead favouring the axial flow approach in place of the earlier centrifugal design. [1] [19] Nevertheless, the He 178 programme was a valuable source of test data that aided subsequent development efforts ...

  3. Coandă effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coandă_effect

    The ball "sticks" to the lower side of the air stream, which stops the ball from falling down. The jet as a whole keeps the ball some distance from the jet exhaust, and gravity prevents it from being blown away. The Coandă effect (/ ˈ k w ɑː n d ə / or / ˈ k w æ-/) is the tendency of a fluid jet to stay attached to a surface of any form. [1]

  4. Torricelli's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_law

    Torricelli's law describes the parting speed of a jet of water, based on the distance below the surface at which the jet starts, assuming no air resistance, viscosity, or other hindrance to the fluid flow. This diagram shows several such jets, vertically aligned, leaving the reservoir horizontally.

  5. Plume (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plume_(fluid_dynamics)

    Plume shapes can be influenced by flow in the ambient fluid (for example, if local wind blowing in the same direction as the plume results in a co-flowing jet). This usually causes a plume which has initially been 'buoyancy-dominated' to become 'momentum-dominated' (this transition is usually predicted by a dimensionless number called the ...

  6. Jet (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_(fluid)

    A relativistic jet emitted from galaxy M87, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. A jet is a stream of fluid that is projected into a surrounding medium, usually from some kind of a nozzle, aperture or orifice. [1] Jets can travel long distances [quantify] without dissipating. Jet fluid has higher speed compared to the surrounding fluid medium.

  7. Quizlet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quizlet

    Quizlet is a multi-national American company that provides tools for studying and learning. [1] Quizlet was founded in October 2005 by Andrew Sutherland, who at the time was a 15-year old student, [ 2 ] and released to the public in January 2007. [ 3 ]

  8. Turbofan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbofan

    The best energy exchange (lowest fuel consumption) between the two flows, and how the jet velocities compare, depends on how efficiently the transfer takes place which depends on the losses in the fan-turbine and fan. [12] The fan flow has lower exhaust velocity, giving much more thrust per unit energy (lower specific thrust). Both airstreams ...

  9. Synthetic jet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_Jet

    In fluid dynamics, a synthetic jet flow—is a type of jet flow, which is made up of the surrounding fluid. [1] Synthetic jets are produced by periodic ejection and suction of fluid from an opening. This oscillatory motion may be driven by a piston or diaphragm inside a cavity among other ways.
