In a news article, it is stated that a recently developed geared turbofan engine produces 15,000 pounds of thrust to propel the aircraft forward. Is “pound” mentioned here lbm or lbf? Explain.
Each of the four jet engines on an Airbus A380 airliner develops a thrust (a forward force on the airliner) of 322,000 N. When the airplane is flying at 250 m/s, what horsepower does each engine develop?
Given the sketch below, the diameter of the plunger Dp = 8 cm, the ram diameter is Dr = 48 cm. The efficiency is 100%, the stroke of the plunger is 18 cm. The ram has to raise a load F2 = 2 kN. Find:
D) The new diameter of the ram piston if the new load
force is 16 times the force exerted in the plunger, the diameter of the plunger is kept to 8 cm.
