Bypass ratio the velocity of a very large volume and consequently mass of air produces a very large change in momentum and thrust: thrust is the engine's mass flow (the amount of air flowing through the engine) multiplied by the difference between the inlet and exhaust velocities in—a linear relationship—but the kinetic energy of the exhaust is the mass flow multiplied by one-half the square of the difference in velocities. A low disc loading (thrust per disc area) increases the aircraft's energy efficiency, and this reduces the fuel use. The Rolls–Royce Conway turbofan engine, developed in the early 1950s, was an early
Four-velocity are multiplied by the four-velocity, one then gets new physical four-vectors that have 4 independent components. For example: Effectively, the formula_27 factor combines with the Lorentz scalar term to make the 4th independent component Using the differential of the four-position, the magnitude of the four-velocity can be obtained: in short, the magnitude of the four-velocity for any object is always a fixed constant: The norm is also: so that: which reduces to the definition the Lorentz factor. Four-velocity In physics, in particular in special relativity and general relativity, a four-velocity is a four-vector in four-dimensional spacetime that represents the relativistic
