Institute of Engineers India students chapter organized a guest lecture on Jet propulsion for Aeronautical, Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering students. Jet propulsion is the propulsion of an object in one direction, produced by ejecting a jet of fluid in the opposite direction. By Newton’s third law, the moving body is propelled in the opposite direction to the jet. Reaction engines operating on the principle of jet propulsion include the jet engine used for aircraft propulsion, , and the rocket engine and plasma thruster used for spacecraft propulsion.
Dr. Babu Viswanathan, Professor, IIT Madras took a very interesting lecture on “Jet Propulsion”. He gave a very detailed explanation on the topic through presentation slides. He explained the subject which was very informative and interesting through the videos. Many students took interest in learning more about the functioning of the jet engines parts through their queries. The lecture was very precise and understandable. The professor was ready to take students questions and he was enthusiastic to answer and clear our doubts. It was a very great experience to learn something new apart from regular class studies from him. Finally in his presentation he mentioned a quote which inspired students.
“Others see things the way they are and say why, I dream of things that never were all say way not” – George Bernard Shaw
