Onthe F-16, the Afterburner detent option helper works like a toggle switch. The problem is that there is no way to know in what position that detent is (on or off). Every time I need to turn on the afterburner, I go to full throttle, and no afterburner, if I click the detent, nothing happens, so I need to go back to non afterburning and then click the detent button again. And I find myself cycling two or three times until I turn on the afterburner, because maybe I'm in a hurry and I cycled back and forth to fast.

On the F-14 is way simpler. If I have the option on. Full throttle will be mil power, if I want the afterburner I just click the detent button, no need to remember if it was on or off, etc.






The only thing I know is that if my throttle peripheral is 100% but no afterburner (detent option to off), and want to go afterburner, I need to go back to like 80%, click the detent button, and then go 100% again in order to work. If I click the detent button with mil power and my peripheral throttle on 100%, nothing happens. So every time I want to go afterburner I have to go throttle down, detent button, throttle up again. most of the time I have to do it multiple times in order to get it right.



With the F-14, I just click the detent button and it goes to afterburner. I don't need to cycle back, or know if the detent is on or off.


The way the jet is configured makes a big difference in terms of its performance. Usually, there are several weapons, pods, and fuel tanks hanging off the jet, which makes it much more capable in combat. However, they add a significant amount of weight and drag to the airframe.


After 15 seconds, I pushed the throttle forward until it hit the military power stop. I then rotated the throttle outward, which allowed me to push it further into the afterburner settings. Nothing happened for what seemed like a minute, but in reality, it was only a few seconds. It was enough time for me to look down to make sure nothing was wrong when, suddenly, the thrust hit me in the chest.


There are five rings in the back of the engine that make up the afterburner. Each ring has hundreds of holes, through which fuel is sprayed at high pressure and then ignited. In order to not flood the engine, each ring sequentially lights off. So far, only two of the five rings had started spraying fuel.


The interesting thing about the way a jet accelerates is that as it goes faster, it accelerates faster (to a point). This is unlike a car, which starts off quickly and then slows down. As each afterburner ring lit off, my acceleration further increased. Before I knew it, I was at my rotation speed of 150 knots, or 175 mph. As soon as I was airborne, I began retracting my gear, reducing my drag, which further increased my acceleration. Even though it takes just a few seconds to retract the gear, I came dangerously close to overspending the 300-knot limit.


However I am going with Linux as I chose to have a stronger system rather than a weaker one with Windows, and I didn't want to "find" a copy of Windows (I can't bring myself to do it and I'd get in trouble with my parents) so I decided Linux was a viable option for the time being.


However I am faced with two issues.

1) I don't know which distribution of Linux is the best for gaming (I used Ubuntu for 3 years).

2) I would like to have an MSI Afterburner-like utility to control my GPU.


Given Valves recommendation for Ubuntu stating that it is "supported" one of the Ubuntu family would be a sensible choice. One of the family that doesn't use compiz as default might be a good idea. Some of the recent Ubuntu's have had difficulty installing Steam from the Ubuntu software centre, so I would recommend Ubuntu-mate.


I use the unofficial nvidia ppa to install and update my graphics drivers.

www.omgubuntu.co.uk Ubuntu NVIDIA Graphics Drivers PPA Is Ready For Act...Just days after proposing the creation of a new PPA to provide Ubuntu users with the latest NVIDIA graphics drivers the Ubuntu community has, well, just that.


This is what I use and would recommend, however almost any distro will run Steam games without too much fuss and very similar results. Just like anything with Linux the choice is yours, don't let anyone pressure you into their personal favorite or brate you for picking what they think is dumb.


Arch Linux (or Manjaro if you are not comfortable with Arch's installation process) is great for gaming. You are in control of everything, the package manager does not try to do your job and there is no risk of running any service without knowing so.


Xubuntu tents to "just work" for me in most ways. Gnome3 is great for a daily driver, but hides away a few features it shouldn't, for no reason..... XFCE is minimal, light, and looks pretty damn good with a good theme on it. Ubuntu, though they have their problems, seems to work very well for gaming as far as I've seen.


The thing about Ubuntu that makes it great for this is that it has a lot of closed source shit. Normally this is a bad thing, but most gaming crap needs this stuff to run correctly. You can run Fedora or Debian and be vegan all day, but what matters is that the games run solidly.


Yeah at this point gaming is a nice side bonus of Linux but bot the main reason to use it. I would go with Ubuntu since it is the only distro (besides SteamOS) that has offical support. Then if you have a problem you can contact the company who ported the game for support. Unless you are well versed in Linux, and don't mind the occasional trouble shotting.


Gas turbine afterburner water injection is a method of increasing the thrust of a gas turbine engine by injecting water into the afterburner. This process cools the exhaust gases, increasing their density and allowing for more fuel to be burned, resulting in increased thrust.


Water is injected into the afterburner section of the gas turbine engine, where it mixes with the hot exhaust gases. The water evaporates, absorbing heat from the gases and lowering their temperature. This increases the density of the gases and allows for more fuel to be added and burned, resulting in increased thrust.


The main benefit of gas turbine afterburner water injection is increased thrust, which can be useful in situations where extra power is needed, such as during takeoff or during maneuvers. It can also help reduce the engine's exhaust temperature, which can improve engine durability and reduce emissions.


One potential drawback of gas turbine afterburner water injection is the added weight and complexity of the system, which can increase maintenance and operating costs. There may also be a slight decrease in overall engine efficiency due to the added weight and drag of the water injection system.


Gas turbine afterburner water injection is just one of several methods used to increase engine thrust. Other methods include using afterburners without water injection, using variable geometry nozzles, and using multi-stage compressors. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which to use depends on the specific needs and requirements of the engine and application.


I've recently become infatuated with the Voron Afterburner and really want to see it any or all of my 14 Prusa MK3s'. I've never designed my own extruder or modded one, so I'm wondering, before I jump into it, has anyone created an adapter to allow the Afterburner to work with a Prusa?


Secondly, I would LOVE if PR added QOL enhancements to the stock MK3 design similar to those the Afterburner has. These are including, but not limited to: swappable toolheads, flip-up hotend fan, more secure PINDA probe, and 2 sided parts fan.


Just my opinion/hope, but since not as much modding stuff seems to be getting designed first for the Prusa these days, I think the best hope is that a common platform like the wam bam mutant takes off. That way, if anyone designs a Voron Afterburner for that platform, it can be readily attached to *any* printer, including the Prusa. I think it will catalyze innovation by tapping a broader community of modders in a way that we haven't seen for a while now.


In highly energetic combustion systems, such as the afterburner of a fighter jet engine, many fluid dynamic processes interact in complex ways. Proper fuel injection control is particularly important in regulating the heat in the engine and fuel flow rates may need to be adjusted depending on many flight conditions such as altitude or aircraft speed. The fuel injectors in an afterburner are very simple device which are similar to an oscillating sprinkler, except the injectors do not oscillate and the wind blows on the fuel jets at 900km/h and 1000C. This spray injection process determines how well the afterburner is functioning. The chaotic nature of the gas and fuel mixture created by these injections is not well understood on a detailed level. Most measures of injection spray identify only the overall shape of the spray and the sizes of the droplets. To better understand this fuel injection process, this thesis investigates the movement of fluid between the spray droplets and attempts to correlated the flow behaviour with the droplet sizes in order to gain a better understanding of how the spray is mixed and distributed in an afterburner. This injection process is termed jet-in-crossflow (JIX) and it is found in many other applications such as irrigation, agricultural sprays, and numerous different combustion systems not limited to aircraft afterburners. Ultimately, a more detailed understanding of how JIX creates and distributes droplets may lead to improved control over fuel injection, therefore reducing fuel consumption. In addition, as the fight against climate change continues systems that rely on fossil fuel for combustion will need to switch to alternative fuels which need to be certified for use. Different fuels have different behaviours so understanding the fuel injection process is crucial in predicting and testing how a new fuel will behave in an existing combustion system.
