  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. Jet blast deflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_blast_deflector

    A jet blast deflector (JBD) or blast fence is a safety device that redirects the high energy exhaust from a jet engine to prevent damage and injury. The structure must be strong enough to withstand heat and high speed air streams as well as dust and debris carried by the turbulent air. [ 1 ]

  4. Gyro gunsight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_gunsight

    The instrument panel of a Spitfire IX showing the Mk IID Gyro reflector gunsight. To set range the dial adjusts the reticle size to match target wingspan. Currently set to the Junkers Ju 88, it ranged in size from the large Fw 200 Condor to the small Messerschmitt Bf 109.

  5. Partial discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_discharge

    The amplitude and frequency of the UHF partial discharge pulses are digitized, analyzed and processed in order to generate an appropriate partial discharge data output, supervisory control and data acquisition alarm. Depending on the provider of the system, the partial discharge outputs are accessible through either a local area network, via ...

  6. Acousto-optic deflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acousto-optic_deflector

    An acousto-optic deflector (AOD) is a device that uses the interaction between sound waves and light waves to deflect or redirect a laser beam. AODs are essentially the same as acousto-optic modulators (AOMs). In both an AOM and an AOD, the amplitude and frequency of different orders are adjusted as light is diffracted.

  7. Causers of This - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causers_of_This

    Causers of This received generally positive reviews, Metacritic reports a rating of 71% based on 18 critical reviews.. Pitchfork ' s Joe Colly stated that "Bundick embraces a cleaner and mellower sound that's more indebted to hip-hop.

  8. Discharge (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_(hydrology)

    A discharge is a measure of the quantity of any fluid flow over unit time. The quantity may be either volume or mass. Thus the water discharge of a tap (faucet) can be measured with a measuring jug and a stopwatch. Here the discharge might be 1 litre per 15 seconds, equivalent to 67 ml/second or 4 litres/minute. This is an average measure.

  9. Drain-induced barrier lowering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-induced_barrier_lowering

    As channel length decreases, the barrier φ B to be surmounted by an electron from the source on its way to the drain reduces. Drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL) is a short-channel effect in MOSFETs referring originally to a reduction of threshold voltage of the transistor at higher drain voltages.
