A CNC-milled, single piece axial compressor blisk. A blisk (portmanteau of bladed disk) is a turbomachine component comprising both rotor disk and blades as a single part instead of a disk assembled with individual removable blades. Blisks generally have better aerodynamics than conventional rotors with single blades and are lighter.
Two rotors illustrating the geometric significance of rotor solidity ratio. The rotor on the right has a larger solidity ratio due to the blades covering a larger fraction of the net rotor disk area. A crude idea of what a rotor or propeller geometry looks like can be obtained from the rotor solidity ratio. Rotors with stubbier and/or a larger ...
Increasing the weight of a helicopter increases disk loading. For a given weight, a helicopter with shorter rotors will have higher disk loading, and will require more engine power to hover. A low disk loading improves autorotation performance in rotorcraft. [5] [6] Typically, an autogyro (or gyroplane) has a lower rotor disk loading than a ...
A jacking gear (also known as a turning gear) is a device placed on the main shaft of an engine or the rotor of a turbine. The jacking gear rotates the shaft or rotor and associated machinery (such as reduction gears and main steam or gas turbines), to ensure uniform cool-down. Without turning, hogging or sagging can occur.
The fall of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad was the crescendo of a remarkably bad year for the Iranian regime.. The Islamic Republic suffered major blows in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, diminishing the ...
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.

Wind off the lakes could dump another foot or 2 of snow. Through Monday, an additional foot-plus of snow could fall in parts of Pennsylvania, northern Ohio and western New York.
