JET ENGINE
PRESENTED BY:
Jet engines move the airplane forward with a great force that is
produced by a tremendous thrust and causes the plane to fly very
fast.

How a jet engine works ?
The image above shows how the air flows through the engine. The
air goes through the core of the engine as well as around the core.
This causes some of the air to be very hot and some to be cooler.
The cooler air then mixes with the hot air at the engine exit area.

Applications
Disadvantages
High fuel consumption.
It is difficult to design a turbine that will work in high temperature
with high speed.
Thermal efficiency of Jet engine is low compared to IC engine.
