73. A jet engine derives its name from its design in that it uses

Explanation

The correct answer is that a jet engine uses an exhaust-gas-driven turbine wheel to drive its compressor. This means that the turbine wheel is powered by the exhaust gases produced by the engine, and this power is used to drive the compressor, which in turn compresses the incoming air before it enters the combustion chamber. This design allows the engine to generate the necessary thrust for propulsion.

74. An aircraft taxiing at a steady speed can be used to demonstrate

Explanation

An aircraft taxiing at a steady speed can be used to demonstrate Newton's first law of motion. This law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction, unless acted upon by an external force. In this case, the aircraft is in motion and continues to move at a constant speed because the thrust from the engines is balanced by the drag and friction forces acting against it.

This coupling ensures that the turbine shaft and the compressor rotor are securely connected, allowing the engine to function properly. The turbine shaft nut coupling is designed to withstand the high temperatures and rotational forces generated by the engine, ensuring a reliable and efficient operation.

Submit
85. How many stages are in the high pressure compressor (HPC) of a F119-PW-100 engine?

Explanation

The correct answer is 6. This means that there are 6 stages in the high pressure compressor (HPC) of a F119-PW-100 engine. The high pressure compressor is responsible for compressing the incoming air before it enters the combustion chamber. Each stage in the compressor consists of a set of rotating blades and stationary vanes that compress the air further as it passes through. Having more stages allows for greater compression and improves the overall efficiency of the engine.

Submit
86. On the F119-PW-100 engine, what connects the low-pressure turbine (LPT) to the inlet fan module?

Explanation

The correct answer is tie-bolts. In the F119-PW-100 engine, tie-bolts are used to connect the low-pressure turbine (LPT) to the inlet fan module. Tie-bolts are commonly used in engines to secure and connect different components together. They provide stability and ensure that the turbine and fan module are securely attached to each other, allowing for efficient operation of the engine.

Submit
87. How many liners are contained in the transition duct of the nozzle module on a F119-PW-100 engine?

Explanation

The correct answer is 20. This means that there are 20 liners contained in the transition duct of the nozzle module on a F119-PW-100 engine.
