  2. Steam locomotive exhaust system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotive_exhaust...

    The primacy of discovery of the effect of directing the exhaust steam up the chimney as a means of providing draft through the fire is the matter of some controversy, Ahrons (1927) devoting significant attention to this matter.

  3. Nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozzle

    A nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow (specially to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe. A nozzle is often a pipe or tube of varying cross sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas). Nozzles are frequently used ...

  5. Propelling nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propelling_nozzle

    The nozzle opens up in two halves which come together to redirect the exhaust partially forward. Since the nozzle area has an influence on the operation of the engine (see below), the deployed thrust reverser has to be spaced the correct distance from the jetpipe to prevent changes in engine operating limits.

    Doblhoff WNF 342 V4 model. During the Second World War, German engineer Friedrich von Doblhoff suggested powering a helicopter with ramjets located on the rotor tips. His idea was taken forwards and, during 1943, the WNF 342 V1 became the first tip jet-powered helicopter; it used a conventional piston engine to drive both a compact propeller and an air compressor to provide air (subsequently ...

  8. Altitude compensating nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude_compensating_nozzle

    Altitude compensating nozzles address this loss of efficiency by changing the shape or volume of the rocket nozzle as the rocket climbs through the atmosphere. There are a wide variety of designs that achieve this goal, with the aerospike being perhaps the most studied among them. Aerospike engine; Plug nozzle; Expanding nozzle

  9. Expander cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expander_cycle

    Heat from the nozzle and combustion chamber powers the fuel and oxidizer pumps. The expander cycle is a power cycle of a bipropellant rocket engine . In this cycle, the fuel is used to cool the engine's combustion chamber, picking up heat and changing phase.
