  2. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the compressor blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which drive the compressor blades. 1. Intake 2. Low pressure compression 3. High pressure compression ...

  3. Bucket-wheel excavator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket-wheel_excavator

    A discharge boom receives material through the superstructure from the cutting boom and carries it away from the machine, frequently to an external conveyor system. A counterweight boom balances the cutting boom and is cantilevered either on the lower part of the superstructure (in the case of compact BWEs) or the upper part (in the case of mid ...

  4. Drop structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_structure

    The vertical hard basin drop structure, also called a dissipation wall, is the basic type of drop structure.The vertical hard basin drop consists of a vertical cutoff wall, usually built of concrete, that is usually laid perpendicular to the stream flow, and an impact basin, not unlike a stream pool, to catch the discharged water.

  5. Bucket elevator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_elevator

    A centrifugal discharge elevator may be vertical or inclined. Vertical elevators depend entirely on centrifugal force to get the material into the discharge chute, and so must be run at a relatively high speed. Inclined elevators with buckets spaced apart or set close together may have the discharge chute set partly under the head pulley.

  6. Spillway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spillway

    A chute spillway is a common and basic design that transfers excess water from behind the dam down a smooth decline into the river below. These are usually designed following an ogee curve . Most often, they are lined on the bottom and sides with concrete to protect the dam and topography.

  8. Cirrus Airframe Parachute System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrus_Airframe_Parachute...

    [18] [19] At the time of testing, Cirrus only had two SR20 prototypes, so in order to test the parachute repeatedly, Anderson would restart the engine mid-air while descending under the parachute, cut the chute loose and land the plane for it to be tested again (ground-impact testing took place with a mockup that would be dropped at the ...

  9. Plunger pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plunger_pump

    The plunger, discharge valves, and suction valves come in contact with the transferred medium, and material choices are based on the fluid transferred. In power applications where continuous duty plunger pumps are needed, solid ceramic plungers may be used when in contact with water and oil, but may not be compatible for use with highly acidic ...
