AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the location of the ice shield and heat shield in relation to the fuel lines on a Boeing 777. Fuel tanks are located in the wings, with fuel lines running through the pylons to the engines. High bypass engines utilize the nacelle as a heat shield, providing insulation between the combustor and exhaust. The Boeing 777 can be equipped with either Rolls-Royce or GE90 engines, with specific models used in various incidents. The engines are purchased separately by airlines and installed by Boeing.

Where are the in relation to the fuel lines on a Boeing 777
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Tanks are in the wing, and they must drop through the pylons (engine supports) to the engine. So the question would be where are the fuel lines in the engine, at least with respect to the combustor.

High by-pass engines have the bypass and engine nacelle to act as heat shields between combustor/turbine and exhaust.

This will give some idea of the inner workings of the engine.

I think FredGarvin and others in the aerospace industry can provide better information.

Thanks for that, was it fitted with RR donks or GE90s?

The 777 has both RR and GE90. In the case of BA038, the engines were RR.

AFAIK, the airline or aircaft owner purchases the engines separately from the aircraft and they are shipped to Boeing where they are installed.
 
Cheers thankyou very much for your help Sir, i might need more.
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
