Campbell Diagram of a steam turbine. Analysis shows that there are well-damped critical speed at lower speed range. Analysis shows that there are well-damped critical speed at lower speed range. Another critical speed at mode 4 is observed at 7810 rpm (130 Hz) in dangerous vicinity of nominal shaft speed, but it has 30% damping - enough to ...
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 ...
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.
An actuator disk accelerating a fluid flow from right to left. In fluid dynamics, momentum theory or disk actuator theory is a theory describing a mathematical model of an ideal actuator disk, such as a propeller or helicopter rotor, by W.J.M. Rankine (1865), [1] Alfred George Greenhill (1888) and Robert Edmund Froude (1889).
Main rotor disk vortex interference Weathercock stability Tail rotor vortex ring state. Loss of tail-rotor effectiveness (LTE) [1] occurs when the tail rotor of a helicopter is exposed to wind forces that prevent it from carrying out its function—that of cancelling the torque of the engine and transmission. Any low-airspeed high-power ...
Russian President Vladimir Putin praised U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday as an experienced and intelligent politician, but said he did not believe Trump was safe after attempts on ...
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 ...
Nothing tastes better than a hot, juicy steak off the grill or from a cast-iron pan – but what happens when you make too much? Of course, it makes sense to keep the leftover steak, but reheating ...
