  2. Blisk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

  3. Disk loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_loading

    When a helicopter is being maneuvered, its disk loading changes. The higher the loading, the more power needed to maintain rotor speed. [3] A low disk loading is a direct indicator of high lift thrust efficiency. [4] Increasing the weight of a helicopter increases disk loading. For a given weight, a helicopter with shorter rotors will have ...

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Dissymmetry of lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissymmetry_of_lift

    The dissymmetry of lift of one rotor disc is cancelled by the dissymmetry of lift of the other rotor disc. [citation needed] Tandem rotor helicopters such as the CH-47 Chinook still suffer from dissymmetry of lift, because the rotors are offset from one another. Tandem-rotor helicopters are installed with automatic cyclic feathering systems.

  7. Pressure compounding in turbines - Wikipedia

    Each stage comprises its ring of nozzle and blades. The steam from the boiler passes through the first nozzle ring, where its pressure drops and velocity increases. [2] The high-velocity jet steam is directed onto the first moving blades, wherein nearly all of its velocity is absorbed. The steam pressure remains unaltered.
