HUMAN FLIGHT: SCALED JET ENGINE
Gene Messercola, Pete Costigan, Intesar Hoque
Jet Engines achieve propulsion from thrust created by hot gas exiting the Brayton Cycle.
Components of a Brayton Cycle:
1→2: Isentropic Compression2→3: Reversible Constant Pressure Heat Addition3→4: Isentropic Expansion4→1: Reversible Constant Pressure Heat Rejection (Exhaust and Intake in the open cycle)
• Air is compressed, mixed with fuel, burned, and expelled through a turbine to perform work.
• Lab analysis includes the calculation of work and efficiency of the turbine and compressor as well as Carnot efficiency.
Thrust to lift a human /Thrust of the jet turbine
Analyze heat transfer of the turbine Determine if a scaled model is viable
heat wise What sort of material would be needed to
insulate from the body Is this feasible for personal flight?
