On the very rear of the fuselage of the B747 is a round exhaust for the Auxillary Power Unit(APU). Every large passenger aircraft has an APU that is used to provide electrical & hydraulic power to the aircraft while it is on the ground (or also in the air during an emergency). The APU is a small jet engine that runs off the same fuel as the jet engines that provide thrust to the aircraft. The Wikipedia link shows a view of the APU exhaust and a view of the engine.

What is a jet engine jet pipe?

Air intake and exhaust. Air comes into the intake located at the front of the aircraft and exits at the rear of the aircraft. This is such a load of crap! A jet pipe is located at the back of an engine, just after the exhaust! It is connected with a gas tight sealing ring and just before the propelling nozzle. And pipes the exhaust gasses out of the fuselage/Wing... A/C engineer.
