b) Propeller
c) Rotor
d) Shaft
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: A propeller is a device which transmits power by converting it into thrust for propulsion of a vehicle though a fluid by rotating two or more twisted blades about a central shaft.
3 - Question
_____ of a propeller act as rotating wings and produce force.
a) Blades
b) Wings
c) Fins
d) Ring assembly
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The blades of a propeller act as rotating wings and produce force through application of Newton’s third law, generating a difference in pressure.

The ______ speed of an unshrouded propeller is limited since
a) Operating
b) Premium
c) Critical
d) Final
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The operating speed of an unshrouded propeller is limited since tip speeds approach the sound barrier at lower speeds than an equivalent ducted propeller.

10 - Question
For a radial turbine, high pressure gas passes through the volute increasing the ___
a) Potential energy
b) Kinetic energy
c) Power energy
d) Exhaust energy
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: High pressure gas passes through the volute, increasing its kinetic energy, the high velocity gas transfers its energy to the impeller shaft by flowing radially inward through the impeller.
