How much does a jet engine weigh?
The weight of an engine depends on the make and model of the plane. Jet engines weigh anywhere from 46,500 pounds to 50,100 pounds. Off by a factor of 8 or 10 depending on size.
How does a jet engine divert the heat flow to perform work?
Depends on the engines manufacture. most use a bleed air valve which takes air off the low pressure stages. this method of utilizing the heat for other purposes such as deicing the wings or providing heat to the cabin also improves the accleration of the engine.
What does a turboprop do?
Answer:The combination of the words turbine and propeller in techno jargon will give you the word "turboprop". A turboprop engine is a turbojet (gas turbine) engine, which powers the propeller/s. A conventional jet engine produces its thrust in large part due to the heated gasses escaping out the rear of the engine. While this is very useful for aircraft which fly at high speeds and high altitudes, it is less desirable for aircraft which are designed to fly at slower speeds and take off from smaller runways.A turboprop engine is a jet engine which converts the bulk of its thrust into rotational energy for powering a propeller. This allows jet engines, which are a high-rpm low-torque engine to be used in situations where low-rpm and high-torque are needed instead.The higher reliability and efficiency of a jet or turboprop engine as compared to an internal combustion engine makes them very desirable for aircraft designs which, in the past, would have utilized internal combustion engines.Answer 2A turboprop is a jet engine with a propellor attached - a jet engine is a turbine (fan) that compresses a large volume of air for combustion in a chamber as a opposed to a piston - a turbo charger on steroids - the propellor is attached to the central shaft of the fan blades - the two exhaust tubes on either side of the front of the turboprop are for the jet exhaust and it actually can add to the speed of the aircraft - the jet engine is usually backwards on a turboprop, the air intake under the engine is sent to the back which is really the front of the jet turbine, compressed by the fan blades (which drive the propellor) then sent to the combustion chamber where it is mixed with fuel and ignited - then exits through the exhaust tubes which bend to point backwards adding to the total thrust of the engine Often the word turboprop is confused with turbo charged which is a regular piston engine that uses a turbo charger (air compressor) - the P-38 lightning twin boom fighter of WW2 is a great example of a turbocharged engine and once you hear the sound the turbo chargers make you never forget itTurbo prop engines address a need for a compromise between propellor and jet engines - propellors are efficient at slow speeds to about 350 mph (meaning the amount of fuel used for speed and range) and dont have as much power as a jet - jets are effecient from about 300mph up and are more powerful than a piston engine but use more fuel - a turbo prop has nearly the power of a jet without as much fuel use and fills the gap for a mid range speed of about 200 to 400 mph - rarely see turboprops on low speed aircraft because of the extra fuel use with exception of some STOL bush style aircraft like the cessna caravan and the new quest kodiak that need the extra power for short/rough field useAlso turbo props can reverse thrust like a jet engine but do so usually by changing the angle of the propellor blades - another big advantage over piston engines for short runways - also turboprops use jet fuel since they are jet engines so they are being used more frequently in countries outside USA where avgas is becoming hard to find (not much general aviation aircraft but lots of jet airliners in many countries)A big advantage to using turboprops is how long they can be flown before a complete overhaul - the time can vary a lot by engine but an average time for a piston engine is about 1800 to 2000 hours and a turbo prop about 3000 to 3600 hours - so you can fly a turboprop a whole lot longer between major overhauls.
What is cramp jet?
A Scram jet is a jet which needs supersonic propulsion to take off. It is taken into air by another larger aircraft and is released in supersonic speed.
Why does a lcd tv give off so much heat?
A: There are million of small devices involved each dissipating a small heat but the accumulation is in the millions so there is heat to dissipate

What is a sentence for jet?
The jet engine changed air transport.The passenger jet was having a bit of turbulence.
Why is Hot heat coming out the floor vent when the heater is off?
Heat is coming from the engine.
Does the engine block get hotter after you turn it off?
Yes, the heat rises to the top of the engine.
How does a jet get off the ground?

Can a rocket booster use to provide thrust for jet engine?
Yes. JATO units (Jet assisted take off) have been used on aircraft since WWII.
Where is the heat regulator in your Ford Escort?
Actually, the heat regulator for the engine is the thermostat. It closes off the coolant when the engine is cold and circulates more coolant when the engine is hot.

How hot is a jet flare countermeasure?
Thousands of degrees! Just enough 2 get the heat-seeking missiles off their tail.
How can a 5.7 hemi engine be damaged?
Rocks, hammers, and baseball bats. Pretty much detonation can hard your engine if the timing is off and your using crappy octane fuel. over reving the engine. LAst but not Least, the worst enemy of any Engine is HEAT!!
