Her poems are written with the deceptive casualness of a notebook, but they also have a rhythmical tightness; they are propulsive, forward-pulsing, knitting one line to another.
Or maybe he's mine".If Camus's writing is "capable of giving air facets like diamonds", as Harun says, Mr Daoud's prose is propulsive and charged.
The only entity in control is Nature, crushing through you with a propulsive force sufficient to dislodge the planet.Now, said Elisabeth Bing, things should not be like that.
More generally, motions are possible in all six degrees of freedom, the other four being roll (rotation about a longitudinal axis), pitch (rotation about a transverse axis), heave (vertical motion), and surge (longitudinal motion superimposed on the steady propulsive motion).
In high- and medium-bypass turbofans (Figure 5), a small but significant improvement in propulsive efficiency can be achieved by mixing the airstream of the hot core and cold bypass streams before the total airstream enters a single jet nozzle.
The U.S. Navy studied German technology and converted 52 war-built submarines to the Guppy configuration (an acronym for "greater underwater propulsive power," with the "y" added for phonetics).
The rocket engine is different from these in that the elements of its propulsive jet (that is, the fuel and oxidizer) are self-contained within the vehicle.
From these meagre references some students have concluded that by 1232 the Chinese had discovered black powder (gunpowder) and had learned to use it to make explosive bombs as well as propulsive charges for rockets.
For the simple but representative case of the discharge airflow equal to the inlet gas flow, it is found that Although the jet velocity Vj must be larger than the aircraft velocity V0 to generate useful thrust, a large jet velocity that exceeds flight speed by a substantial margin can be very detrimental to propulsive efficiency.
The propulsive charge was the basic black powder mixture of finely ground carbon (charcoal), potassium nitrate (saltpetre), and sulfur.
