- A.
Bernoulli's principle
- B.
Newton's first law of motion
- C.
Newton's second law of motion
- D.
Newton's third law of motion
Correct Answer
C. Newton's second law of motionExplanation
The given statement describes Newton's second law of motion. According to this law, an unbalanced force acting on an object will cause the object to accelerate in the direction of the force. The acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law is commonly expressed as F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.Rate this question:

"The combination of a decreased pressure above an airfoil, and the increased pressure below the airfoil produces lift" ids best described by
- A.
Bernoulli's principle
- B.
Newton's first law of motion
- C.
Newton's second law of motion
- D.
Newton's third law of motion
Correct Answer
A. Bernoulli's principleExplanation
According to Bernoulli's principle, as the speed of a fluid (such as air) increases, its pressure decreases. In the case of an airfoil, the curved shape of the upper surface causes the air to travel faster, resulting in lower pressure above the airfoil. At the same time, the flat bottom surface of the airfoil causes the air to travel slower, resulting in higher pressure below the airfoil. This pressure difference creates an upward force, known as lift, which allows the airfoil to generate upward motion. Therefore, Bernoulli's principle best describes the combination of decreased pressure above an airfoil and increased pressure below the airfoil producing lift.Rate this question:

What effect does the divergent design of a diffuser have on air pressure?
- A.
Increases pressure
- B.
Decreases pressure
- C.
Has no effect on pressure
- D.

Correct Answer
A. Increases pressureExplanation
The divergent design of a diffuser increases air pressure. A diffuser is a device that gradually expands the flow area of a fluid, in this case, air. As the air flows through the divergent section of the diffuser, the cross-sectional area increases, causing the air to slow down. According to Bernoulli's principle, when the velocity of a fluid decreases, its pressure increases. Therefore, the divergent design of a diffuser increases air pressure.Rate this question:

Vane-type fuel pumps used in jet engines are similar to
- A.
Sliding-vane air compressors
- B.
Piston pump air compressors
- C.
Roots air compressors
- D.
Turbo-superchargers
Correct Answer
A. Sliding-vane air compressorsExplanation
Vane-type fuel pumps used in jet engines are similar to sliding-vane air compressors. Both types of pumps use a set of vanes that slide in and out of slots in a rotor to create a seal and move fluid or air. This design allows for efficient and reliable pumping, as the vanes create a positive displacement action. The sliding-vane air compressor is a suitable comparison as it operates on the same principle, using vanes to compress air instead of pumping fuel. The other options, piston pump air compressors, roots air compressors, and turbo-superchargers, do not share the same design or operation as vane-type fuel pumps.Rate this question:

The two forces that air is subjected to after it is drawn into the gude vanes of a centrifugal compressor are
- A.
Rotational and centrifugal
- B.
Rotational and tangential
- C.
Tangential and centrifugal
- D.
Tangential and radial
Correct Answer
A. Rotational and centrifugalExplanation
After air is drawn into the guide vanes of a centrifugal compressor, it experiences two forces: rotational and centrifugal. The rotational force is caused by the spinning motion of the compressor impeller, which imparts a swirling motion to the air. The centrifugal force is a result of the air being pushed outward due to the high-speed rotation of the impeller. These two forces work together to compress the air and increase its pressure before it is discharged from the compressor.Rate this question:
