Mechanical parts of a jet engine

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around creating a detailed project on the mechanical aspects of jet engines, with a focus on topics such as mechanical efficiency, blade rotation, speed calculations, and inertia forces. Participants suggest exploring fluid dynamics and the mechanical differences between turbojets and ramjets, as well as the optimal number of blades and turbine stages. There is a request for more concrete information and formulas to support the project, indicating a need for specific data rather than general resources. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding both thermal and mechanical efficiency in jet engine performance. Overall, the exchange encourages deeper research into the mechanical principles governing jet engines to fulfill the project requirements.

Hi guys
I'm making a project about jet engine.
I need to write 10 pages of the mechanical part of a jet engine.
I already did it for physics.
What can i talk about. I need formules en stuff in the 10 pages
Ty for the help guys!

What have you found out for yourself so far ?

Please use some recognisable language when replying .

Yes sorry for the language I am not a native English speaker but i will do my best.
I think I can write something about the mechanical efficiency of the engine.
Also about the rotation of the blades.
Maybe i can do something how to calculate the speed..
I can do something about the inertia force ( traagheidskracht in dutch).
I don't know if i can get good information of this things.
Maybe you have something in mind with good information?

yes I already had that but its a little useless to me when i don't know what to use.
you know i didn't ask for helping me write jet engine pdf on google...

Well, it seems like the PDF that was posted in reply to your question was pretty much on-topic. Do you want us to do your homework for you?

Can you expand on your thoughts above? "Mechanical efficience" wouldn't seem to apply, but fluid dynamics would seem to be a big "mechanical" part of a jet engine's operation...
 
Idk man but i thought you guys could give me more concrete stuff than 300 pages.
But np
Thanks for the help man
and the mechanical efficiency. i might be wrong but i thought there was the thermal efficiency and the mechanical efficiency.

Mechanically/aerodynamically what determines the optimum number of blades per turbine? What determines the optimum number of turbine stages? Compare and contrast a turbojet with a ramjet mechanically... Why are they different?

That should get you to 10 pages easy! (and be pretty interesting as well) Have fun! :smile:
