In jet engines, for the efficient production of large power, fuel is burnt in an atmosphere of
vacuum
atmospheric air
compressed air
oxygen alone
liquid hydrogen
The Turbo propeller has the following additional feature over the turbojet
propeller
diffuser
intercooler
turbine and combustion chamber
starting engine
A rocket works with maximum overall efficiency when aircraft velocity is equal to the

twice the jet velocity
half the jet velocity
average of the jet velocity
no such co-relationship with jet velocity exists
The maximum propulsion efficiency of a turbojet is attained at around the following speed –

1700 km/hr
2400km /hr
4000 km/hr
In jet propulsion power unit, the inlet duct of diverging shape is used in order to
collect more air
convert kinetic energy of air into pres-sure energy
provide robust structure
beautify the shape
none of the above
In jet engines the products of combustion after passing through the gas turbine are
discharged into
atmosphere
back to the compressor
discharge nozzle
vacuum
none of the above
The following property is most important for material used for gas turbine blade
toughness
fatigue
creep
corrosion resistance
bulk modulus
The effective power of gas turbines is increased by adding the following in compressor
ammonia and water vapour
carbon dioxide
nitrogen
hydrogen
none of the above
A high air-fuel ratio is used in gas turbines
to increase the output
to increase the efficiency
to save fuel
to reduce the exit temperature
none of the above
Ram-jet engine
is self-operating at zero flight speed
is not self-operating at zero^flight speed
requires no air for its operation
produces a jet consisting of plasma
none of the above
For speed above 3000 km/hour, it is more advantageous to use
turbo-jet engine
ram-jet engine
propellers
rockets

Which of the following plants is smallest and lightest for generating a given amount of
power
steam power plant
petrol engine
diesel engine’
solar plant
gas turbine plant
In the turbofan engine, the jet velocity as compared to the turbo-jet engine is
less
more
same
may be less or more depening upon speed
none of the above
The power available for take-off and climb in the case of a turbojet engine as compared to
a reciprocating engine is
less
more
same
may be less or more depending on ambient conditons
unpredictable
The propulsive power of the rocket is (where v₁ = Jet velocity, and v₂ = Aircraft velocity)
(v₁² -v₂²)/2g
(v₁ - v₂)²/2g
(v₁² -v₂²)/g
(v₁ - v₂)²/g
A rocket engine uses __________ for the combustion of its fuel
Surrounding air
Compressed atmospheric air
Its own oxygen
None of these
Why do the airplanes fly at higher altitude during the long flights?
to avoid collisions as they are at very high speed and controlling will be difficult if something (like
towers, hills) comes in the way
it is easy to communicate with satellites at high altitudes
to save the fuel as air at higher altitude exerts smaller drag force on aircraft
none of the above
What is the effect of increasing bypass ratio of a turbofan engine on its trust?
trust increases with increase in bypass ratio of turbofan engine
trust decreases with increase in bypass ratio of turbofan engine
trust of the turbofan engine only depends upon the fuel rate, so no change of thrust with increase in
bypass ratio
cannot say

reciprocating engine is
Less
More
Same
May be less or more depending on ambient conditions
