Basics of Aerospace Propulsion: by G.Dhanajayan Assistant Professor

The document discusses the basics of aerospace propulsion including Newton's laws of motion and Bernoulli's principle. Newton's first law states that an object remains at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an external force. The second law defines force as the change in momentum over time. The third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Bernoulli's principle explains that as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases. It also discusses how the aerofoil shape and angle of attack affect lift according to Newton's third law and Bernoulli's principle.

Assistant professor

NEWTONS FIRST
LAW OR LAW OF
INERTIA

His first law states that every object


will remain at rest or in uniform motion
in a straight line unless compelled to
change its state by the action of an
external force.

NEWTONS SECOND LAW

His second law defines a force to be equal to


the change in momentum with a change in time.
Momentum is defined to be the mass m of an
object times its velocity V.
This relation is only good for objects that have
a constant mass.

NEWTONS THIRD LAW

Whenever one body exerts force upon a second body, the second body exerts an equal
and opposite force upon the first body.

BERNOULLI'
S PRINCIPLE

Bernoulli's principle says that as a fluid's


velocity increases its pressure decreases.
The aerofoil shape produces unequal lengths
across the top and bottom of the wing. Air
splitting at the front of the wing must re-join
at the back of the wing so as not to create a
vacuum.

The Bernoulli Principle and


Newtons Third Law of Motion

It can be seen in the picture to the right that as the


angle of attack is increased, as in the bottom
picture, the resultant force from the deflection of the
air both above and below the wing is also a major
component to lift.
As the air is deflected downward, as in the top
picture, it pushes on the wing in an equal and
opposite direction.
