The Jet Engine and the Revolution in Leisure Air Travel‚ 1960-1975 Peter Lyth Air transport for European tourists got off to a shaky start in the late 1920s. 1 But it was to be thirty years before leisure air travel was to appeal to anyone but the rich and adventurous. High cost‚ fear of flying and the absence of toilets in early airliners (an unfortunate combination) were the main deterrents; the unpressurized aircraft of the inter-war years were noisy‚ slow and not especially comfortable

systems P1) Oil - Vegetable Oil Vegetable oils are a triglyceride that is extracted from agricultural crops‚ these oils are natural products and therefore their chemical composition changes from one crop to another. They are used in engines and chainsaws as a lubricant instead of petroleum based oils. Canola Oil – made from rapeseed – is an example of a vegetable oil‚ it is cleaner than petroleum based oils and has less health risks as petroleum oils are commonly carcinogens and can

Diesel Engine Heat engines are sometimes referred to as being motors. Actually‚ a motor converts one form of energy into useful work without the intentional production of heat‚ such as an electric motor. A device which burns fuel creating heat to perform work is a heat engine. Heat engines can be classified as external combustion‚ such as steam boiler‚ or internal combustion (IC). They can further be divided into the spark ignited (SI) engine or the compression ignited engine (CI). The compression

A jet engine‚ like a rocket engine‚ is a reaction engine. It works by throwing mass in one direction and taking advantage of the reaction in the opposite direction. In the case of a jet engine‚ the engine burns fuel (like kerosene) with air from the atmosphere. The burning fuel heats and expands the air‚ and this hot air shoots out of the exhaust-end of the engine to create thrust. Most modern jet engines use a turbine to improve the efficiency of the engine and allow the engine to work at low speeds

COMBUSTION ENGINES 6.1 Introduction Perhaps the best-known engine in the world is the reciprocating internal combustion (IC) engine. Virtually every person who has driven an automobile or pushed a power lawnmower has used one. By far the most widely used IC engine is the spark-ignition gasoline engine‚ which takes us to school and work and on pleasure jaunts. Although others had made significant contributions‚ Niklaus Otto is generally credited with the invention of the engine and with the

Rotary Engine – Huge Power in a Small Box According to Philip’s Encyclopedia Wankel rotary engine or just Wankel engine is “Internal combustion engine with rotors instead of pistons.” That not so popular engine is actually about two times lighter than a four cylinder piston engine‚ the one that we all have in our cars‚ for the same power output. It also has four times less moving parts. Much simpler‚ much lighter‚ much smaller it has numerous advantages over a conventional piston engine.
