Turbofan jet engine: how it works?
This post’s subject is the turbofan jet engine. It’s used in every commercial airplane due to high thrust and for being the most efficient and silent type.
Thomson effect: what is it?
This post is the second part about thermoelectricity. Thomson effect is a reversible thermoelectric phenomenon and related to Seebeck and Peltier effects.
Seebeck and Peltier effects
The Seebeck and Peltier effects are thermoelectric phenomena that explain the operation of thermocouples, temperature sensors with 2 different materials.
