Researching a Jet Engine

The invention of the internal combustion engine sprouted from the work of several engineers and inventors across Europe and into America. First, in 1859, Jean-Joseph Etienne Lenoir developed the first practical internal combustion engine which after many modifications and changes, led to the modern engine that plays a crucial role in today’s society. Prior to Lenoir, external combustion engines such as the steam engine and early hydrogen engine

1. In 1930, who first patented a design for a reaction (jet) type motor suitable for aircraft propulsion?

Steam engines can be dated back to the 1st century AD when the “aeolipile” was developed by Hero of Alexandria. 1500 years later, the primitive turbines were driven by the power of steam in 1551 by Taqi al-Din. There was a problem in 1700’s that mines would flood. Steam pumps proved this to not be an issue anymore with their immense power. Thomas Savery build the first steam pump for pumping water out in 1698. His machine had many flaws that caused it to explode under too much pressure. The first low pressure engine was created by James Watt. His engine reduced fuel consumption by 50%. Ivan Polzunov created the first Two-Cylinder Steam Engine in Russia. His engine was more powerful that the English atmospheric engine. Thomas Newcomen in 1712 invented an effective and practical steam engine. His was used for over 50 years. James Watt’s improvements revolutionized the steam engine by making use of a separate condenser in the original design. He made up this idea in 1765 and it was used in over 60k cars powered by steam engines. This source is very useful because it lists many of those who contributed to the innovation of the steam engine. This source is unfortunately not as reliable as the others due to a lack of author. Despite this, this may cause me to change my research question in order to get the most out of it as I

One significant innovation was the engine that was created in 1712 by Thomas Newcomen. It was, first created to be used in navigation and succeeding to power machinery which revolutionized the world and started the industrial era. The engine acts as a powerhouse making machines move, but needs fuel to keep it running. Mechanical Engineers are assigned to learn the functions of the engine itself and understand how to further improve it by making it reduce the consumption of fuel or to increase the power output. Unlike automobiles, ships and airplanes with their size, still need lots of fuel due to tremendous power needed to be able to move. Cars that run using electricity do not handle gas for fuel, making it eco-friendly, however they do not provide as much power as the cars that run with gas.

   The steam engine can easily be considered the single most important invention of the entire industrial revolution.  There is not one part of industry present in today's society that can be examined without coming across some type of reference or dependence upon the steam engine.  But, who deserves the credit for this great invention?  Some give the credit to James Watt while others claim that Thomas Newcomen was the original inventor.

I would love to be able to fly around the world like you, but since I don’t have reindeer or a sleigh, I think a private jet will work. I would like to fly in a privet jet than drive around everywhere. My mom and I would love it if you can give us a privet jet so we do not have to use all our money for gas on the rode when we are driving to a deferent state to spend time with our family. I would like to fly with my friends and family to different countries. If you could give us a privet jet we would thank you very much.

The invention and use of the internal combustion engine was a pivotal point in the history of the automobile. The first attempt at an internal combustion engine was in 1673 by Christian Huygens, using gunpowder as the fuel source, though it was basically worthless as you had to open the engine up and put new gunpowder in it after every single stroke ("The Fuel & Engine"). This lack of a fuel for internal combustion engines sidelined its development for a couple hundred years. In 1860 Jean Joseph Etienne Lenoir built the first effective internal combustion engine using natural gas (Bottorff). The ignition of the gas would create a vacuum and the resulting pressure difference between the vacuum and the atmosphere would drive the power stroke (Bottorff). This gas-atmospheric engine, as it is known, was an effective system capable generating 20hp, still it was imperfect. It was further improved with the development

Developing the World's Largest Commercial Jet In this case, we will be analyzing strategic interaction between Airbus and Boeing, the two leading producers in the global commercial aircraft industry. In particular, we will be considering Airbus' proposed launch of the A3XX, their entry into the intercontinental jumbo jet segment, and Boeing's potential competitive responses to this entry. We will attempt to answer the questions: Should Airbus enter the jumbo jet segment? If so, how?

We've all seen them before, the mysterious chunks of metal under the hoods of our cars. They start when we turn the key and take us where we want to go. But how does an engine work? Internal combustion engines are a very important part of everyday life. We use them in our cars, trucks, airplanes. boats, snowmachines, 4 wheelers, and heavy machinery. These pages will help familiarize you with the basic concepts of how an engine works, an understanding of engine output, and some information on how forced induction or "boost" increases power output.

The B707 was the first aircraft developed by Boeing in 1958, it is a narrow body , mid-size and a four turbo-fan engine aircraft ( Pratt & Whitney ) . Some people call it ( seven oh seven ) and it has different modules ( series ) that contains different capacity from 140-189 passengers .The Boeing 787 was produced in 2007 , it is a long-range , wide-body , twin turbo-fan engine ( GEnx or Rolls Royce ) aircraft . Passenger’s seat varies from 242-335 dependant on the series of the aircraft. Of course both aircrafts varies from the internal structures ,but almost the same design for the outer structure (body shape ) , and I’ll demonstrate the differences and similarities between both aircrafts , from structure design to the innovations made to the B787 , that surely made us look at the Boeing industry in a different perspectives.

It was at this stage in James Watt's life that he began learning the principals behind the workings of a steam engine. He learnt information from his friend Dr. Black about heat; temperature and the properties of steam itself. After studying steam engines for a period he became the only person with enough knowledge to improve on the steam engine at that time. Even though Newcomen had already developed the steam engine before James Watt, it was about to be improved substantially without even knowing the results it would have on the industrial revolution. As Watt was fixing the machine he was intrigued on how much fuel it burned. He then thought about ways to reduce the fuel consumption and found out it was mostly caused by the pistons and other metal work heating cooling, always requiring extra heat.

The SCRAMJET, simply abbreviated from Supersonic Combustion Ramjet, is the latest evolution of the jet engine family. NASA made the news with each test of the X-43A scramjet craft, so I set about to discover why this type of jet engine should garner so much scientific attention.

The first use of steam power that has been documented was that of a Greek mathematician, Hero of Alexandria, nearly 2000 years ago. Hero constructed the first steam-powered engine and this engine was the "forerunner of the net engine and demonstrated that steam power could be sued to operate other machinery." (Fireman - Navy Firefighter, Fireman Training Manual, nd) A steam turbine is reported as a "mechanical device that converts thermal energy in pressurized steam into useful mechanical work." (Beardmore, 2010, p.1) The original steam engine is reported to have "largely powered the industrial revolution in the UK" and to have been based on "reciprocating pistons." (Beardmore, 2010, p.1) It is reported that this has been almost completely "replaced by the steam turbine because the steam turbine has a higher thermodynamic efficiency and a lower power-to-weight ratio and the steam turbine is ideal for the very large power configurations used in power stations." (Beardmore, 2010, p.1) The steam turbine is reported to derive "much of its better thermodynamic efficiency because of the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam…" which results in "a closer approach to the ideal reversible process." (Beardmore, 2010, p.1)
