    "The combination of decreased pressure above an airfoil, and the increased pressure below the airfoil produces lift" is best described by

    • Bernoulli's principle

    • Newton's first law of motion

    • Newton's second law of motion

    • Newton's third law of motion

    Correct Answer
    A. Bernoulli's principle
    Explanation
    The statement describes how the pressure difference above and below an airfoil creates lift. According to Bernoulli's principle, as the speed of a fluid (in this case, air) increases, its pressure decreases. When air flows over the curved upper surface of an airfoil, it speeds up, resulting in decreased pressure. At the same time, the air flowing underneath the airfoil is slower, causing increased pressure. This pressure difference creates lift, allowing the airfoil (such as an airplane wing) to generate upward force and stay in the air.

    Foot-pounds and inch-pounds are units of measure for

    • Work

    • Power

    • Inertia

    • Friction

    Correct Answer
    A. Work
    Explanation
    Foot-pounds and inch-pounds are units of measure commonly used to quantify work. Work is defined as the amount of energy transferred by a force over a distance. The unit "pound" refers to a unit of force, and when multiplied by a unit of distance (foot or inch), it gives the unit of work. Therefore, foot-pounds and inch-pounds are used to measure the amount of work done in a system.

    The product of thermal efficiency and propulsive efficiency is

    • Mechanical efficiency

    • Overall efficiency

    • Power efficiency

    • Thrust efficiency

    Correct Answer
    A. Overall efficiency
    Explanation
    The product of thermal efficiency and propulsive efficiency is referred to as overall efficiency. This is because thermal efficiency measures the ratio of useful work output to the heat input, while propulsive efficiency measures the ratio of useful work output to the power input. Multiplying these two efficiencies together gives the overall efficiency, which represents the overall effectiveness of a system in converting energy inputs into useful work outputs.

    What is the required velocity for air and gases flowing through a jet engine?

    • Low velocity at all times

    • Less velocity exiting than entering

    • Equal velocity entering and exiting

    • Greater velocity exiting than entering

    Correct Answer
    A. Greater velocity exiting than entering
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Greater velocity exiting than entering." In a jet engine, air and gases are compressed and heated before being expelled at a high velocity through the exhaust nozzle. This high velocity is necessary to generate thrust and propel the aircraft forward. The exit velocity is greater than the entering velocity to create a net force in the opposite direction, according to Newton's third law of motion.

    The purpose of the exhaust duct is to

    • Swirl exhaust gas-flow

    • Equalize exhaust gas-flow

    • Straighten exhaust gas flow

    • Modulate exhaust gas flow

    Correct Answer
    A. Straighten exhaust gas flow
    Explanation
    The purpose of the exhaust duct is to straighten the exhaust gas flow. This means that the duct is designed in a way that reduces turbulence and ensures a smooth and efficient flow of exhaust gases out of the system. By straightening the flow, the exhaust gases can exit the system more easily, improving overall performance and reducing any potential backpressure.

    The air temperature of a jet engine gradually rises across the compressor to the diffuser outlet as a result of

    • Compression

    • Fuel expansion

    • Turbine discharge

    • Ambient temperature increase

    Correct Answer
    A. Compression
    Explanation
    The air temperature of a jet engine gradually rises across the compressor to the diffuser outlet as a result of compression. As the air passes through the compressor, it is compressed, which leads to an increase in temperature. This is because the compression process causes the air molecules to collide more frequently and with greater force, resulting in an increase in their kinetic energy and therefore temperature. Therefore, compression is the main factor responsible for the gradual temperature rise in the jet engine.
