This is all quite interesting, but with Mr Lappos posting here there is no sign of good ole Lu.
Mainly because Lu does not give a Sh!t. My knowledge of a jet engine and application of that knowledge is the function of every part of a jet engine, the interrelation of the parts within that engine and the effect of the failure of said parts on the engine and ultimately on the craft that the engine is installed in.
All of this without the understanding of mass flow, heat input, heat rejection, entropy, enthalpy, turbine airfoils and power extraction as well as many other things jet engine related.
However I do know what a convergent divergent duct is (De Laval Nozzle).
I find it interesting that each of you with similar engineering background have come up with your own interpretation of how a jet engine works and none of you agree with the other participants on this thread.
Unless Paul McKeksdown is Lu
And no, I am not Paul McKeksdown.
