...Impact Of a Water Jet • Introduction: Over the years, engineers have found many ways to utilize the force that can be imparted by a jet of fluid on a surface diverting the flow. For example, the pelt on wheel has been used to make flour. Further more, the impulse turbine is still used in the first and sometimes in the second stages of steam turbine. Firemen make use of the kinetic energy stored in a jet to deliver water above the level in the nozzle to extinguish fires in high-rise buildings. Fluid jets are also used in industry for cutting metals and debarring. Many other applications of fluid jets can be cited which reveals their technological importance. This experiment aims at assessing the different forces exerted by the same water jet on a variety of geometrical different plates. The results obtained experimentally are to be compared with the ones inferred from theory through utilizing the applicable versions of the Bernoulli and momentum equations. • Objectives: 1. To determine the force produced by a water jet when it strikes a flat vane and a hemispherical cup. 2. To compare the results measured with the theoretical values calculated from the momentum flux in the jet. • Theory: For the general case shown in figure (1) the momentum flux in the jet is (muo) Where: m is the mass flow rate Uo is the jet velocity just upstream of the vane. After being deflected through...

It will be focusing on the European factors and specifically the impact which the EU has. European factors have an effect on the UK economy as the UK is a member of the EU. The EU affects the way that the UK businesses perform. The EU began in the 1950’s and started off as European communities. France and Germany were the first countries to join however, 25 more countries joined the EU making it 27 members. The purpose of the EU is to allow people to move freely within the EU countries and also allow goods and services to move freely within the EU participating countries. This also means that the EU can import goods from non EU countries in bulk and they can distribute it without the member countries having to pay any extra costs. Having this has meant that it is cheaper to trade within the EU. European policies The European policies which impact Easy Jet are business growth and employment, education, economics and finance and environment. Business, Growth and Employment The business, business growth and employment is a consolation paper to investigate ways to invest and grow that are smarter and greener...

...January 9, 2012 Discus the trends in the U.S. airline industry and how these trends might impact a company’s strategy. Change is the only thing that is constant. The airline industry has been through many changes in the past ten years. The September 11 event of 2001 sparked many changes. Security has been strictly enforced and fuel prices are at an all-time high. Many air-line companies have implemented baggage fees to help recover from the rising fuel prices and etc. There are some recent trends that have helped the air-line industry and also affected the air-line industry. With booming cellular data usage on the rise, many companies have turned to mobile apps. Smart phone applications are convenient for customers and the companies are taking advantage of the availability of these mobile devices. It is instant access and information in the palms of their hands. Airlines are increasing their reliance on technology to streamline passenger experience at check in and at the gate. Despite unfounded security concerns, paperless boarding passes have been adopted by some airlines and are being tested by others. A bar code is sent to the phone and then scanned by a barcode reader at security and during boarding. The TSA actually prefers the electronic bar codes, because they are much harder to counterfeit than printable boarding passes. One of the most recent trends that will impact the air-line industry is the European emissions regulations. Everyone in the world is preparing...

...weather but only two of them are used for arrivals. The airport’s concern is to have a strategy that reduces delay times and associated costs. In our opinion, the strategy will include peak-period pricing in order to reduce the late times in the short-run. The impact of Peak Period Pricing on Delay Times and Costs During peak hours the arrival rate is between 44.5 and a little over 60 planes per hour. This analysis reflects the delay times and costs associated with each peak hour arrival rate for three plane types – Turboprop airplane, Conventional jets e Regional jets – in order to compare them. The total delay time for an arrival rate (λ) for 50 planes per hour is 6.55 minutes (0.109 hours) but when the arrival rate increases by 5 planes per hour, the delay is 12.52 minutes (0.209 hours) and the delay time is more than 1 hour (60.5 minutes) when the arrival rate increases to 59 planes per hour. These delays imply extra costs. These costs are the sum the passenger time cost and the delay time cost of the plane. | 50 planes/h | 55 planes/h | 59 planes/h | Turboprop Airplane | 71,26636363 | 136,3356522 | 658,7647059 | Regional Jet | 182,8636363509 | 349,8260869444 | 1690,3361344350 | Conventional Jet | 502,1181818 | 960,573913 | 4641,428571 | Table 2: Delay costs per aircraft per arrival rate The definition of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says that the plane is only late if the departure (or arrival) is 15 minutes or more after the scheduled time....

...Matthew Ricci Dr Merricks English 102 28 February 2014 Jet noise throughout South Hampton Roads The sound of freedom or not? Society today is filed with noise; there is no escaping it. The combined toll of occupational, recreational, and environmental noise exposure from sounds that is heard daily can possibly pose a serious public health issue. Everyday noise society looks at as “common” can include heavy construction equipment, sirens from emergency vehicles, lawn mowers and a little more noticeable, jet noise. No denying that anyone who has lived near an airport in any number of big cities or spent time in proximity to a military installation has been exposed to and possibly inconvenienced by the loud sounds of jet aircraft. To the locals that have lived and spent time in the Hampton Roads area, jet noise is as common as hearing a fire engine. Anyone living or working near one of the several military bases in the area or the Norfolk International Airport has heard or been affected in some way by jet noise. Jets noise in this part of Virginia is not just a daily occurrence but also a necessary one in order to preserve troop readiness and even society’s way of life. An examination of the state of global insecurity creating much higher operational military requirements since 9/11 and the economic stability our military bases provide reveal the necessity for higher tolerance of jet noise. Military training and readiness are directly proportional to the rise...

...In the article, “What impact do lower fuel costs and other changes have on American Airline’s break-even point?” the author explains how airlines such as American Airline Group (AAL), United Continental Holdings, and Southwest Airlines recorded record profits in 2014. These record profits are caused by the decrease in the price of oil in recent years. Changes in the cost of airline operations can have a huge impact on the airline’s breakeven points- this includes the change in the price of oil. A 3% increase in airfare could impact the breakeven point by decreasing it. Since the selling price of tickets went up, the contribution margin per unit will go up, making the breakeven point per units decrease. The 18% decrease in the price per gallon of jet fuel is a variable cost per unit that would also result in the decrease of the airline’s breakeven point. The increase in the number of seats sold impacted the breakeven point because it was easier to reach the point since more people are buying seats. The increase in the total money spent on jet fuel would make the breakeven point increase since the airline is spending more but not making more profit. The increase in the cost of labor contracts would raise the breakeven point because the fixed cost would go up. All these impacts result in either increasing or decreasing the breakeven point of the airline. Although the cost of jet fuel per gallon has decreased, airlines are spending more on jet fuel because they are buying more fuel...

...prominent in addressing the need for a continuous supply of fuels. Biofuels are fuels that are produced through the biological process of converting biomass/biowaste into a fuel source to reduce the negative impacts faced by fossil fuels combustion (reduction in greenhouse gasses) and availability of supply. Biofuels can be derived from a wide variety of biomass, and are categorised into four generations: First generation biofuels are made from sugars, starches, oil, and animal fats that are converted into fuel using already-known processes or technologies. These fuels include biodiesel, bioalcohols, ethanol, and biogases, like methane captured from landfill decomposition. Second generation biofuels are made from non-food crops or agricultural waste, especially ligno-cellulosic biomass like switch-grass, willow, or wood chips. Third generation biofuels are made from algae or other quickly growing biomass sources. Fourth generation biofuels are made from specially engineered plants or biomass that may have higher energy yields or lower barriers to cellulosic breakdown or are able to be grown on non-agricultural land or bodies of water. However, criticism falls on this solution, with the biofuels being pursued to reduce climate change impacts from energy consumption being relatively ineffective. Analysis of the carbon lifecycle associated with biofuels articulates that carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is absorbed by the biomass feedstock to cultivate...

...and how these trends might impact a company’s strategy. The rising oil prices are increasing the cost of the flight in spite of reduction in the prices of the flight. There is less scope now to get the tickets urgently because all the tickets are booked at least 2 months before to counteract the demand. Although the fares are declining but the airlines increasing the prices of checking, refreshment, which ultimately have negligible impact in the prices of the flights. It has been seen that most of the travelers are selecting economy class instead of business class so that they can meet their expenditure as per their budget. But the airlines are trying to sell their business class seats first to generate higher revenue. To reach their target, the nearby hotels are making contract with the airlines. The specific percentage is associated with the airlines. The main objective of them is to attract more customers to increase their revenue (Thompson, Strickland & Gamble, 2010). Therefore they are cutting their cost by decreasing the fares but on the other hand they are giving fewer facilities to the passengers like they are not providing any meal if providing it is chargeable. Again it is seen that some flights are providing only drinks and cakes to the customer. But the registrations of flights tickets are seem to be very easier and convenient for the customer. Now they can book the ticket online without bearing any charge of brokers. 2. Discuss Jet Blue’s strategic intent prior...

Local and/or national communities Owners are by far the most vital stakeholder in the running of the business, I believe that they are the reason that the business is up and running they allow for vital decisions to be made within the business, things such as various location of the branches have to be carefully taken into account to therefore determine the success of the business. In easy jets case,Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou created a huge success of the company by considering all aspects of the business carefully. Things such as locations, prices, and employees had to be individually assessed in turn to create and put the business in a safe position, this allowed for easy jets to get where they are today. Employees offer a number of great services from the way in which customers are treated to the taste of their food on the aeroplanes, they in turn are second on the list because of the way in which they help or even so assist the business on the road in the right direction, they are a vital organ of the business in my opinion and if they were to be affected the business would not function as well as they do to this day. I believe they are above customers in the list of importance because if easy jet did not have workers willing to work then there would not be adequate services provided to...
