Jet engines
compressor stall
Aviation; Jet engines
Separation of the airflow from the suction surface of the freed or rotating blades of a compressor. Any degree of stall reduces airflow.
conduction
Aviation; Jet engines
Transfer of heat through material by communication of kinetic energy from particle to particle rather than by a flow of heated material.
convergent area
Aviation; Jet engines
Place where the cross-sectional area of a duct becomes smaller.
convergent exhaust duct
Aviation; Jet engines
Duct used on fixed-wing aircraft; formed by tapering toward the rear of the duct.
crossover tube
Aviation; Jet engines
Duct carrying flame to the individual cylindrical liners of the can-annular combustion chamber.
