Why do we take into consideration holes for pressure thrust in jet engine calculations?
In many sources related to jet engine thrust calculations such as https://www.jet-x.org/a8.html ,
pressure thrust of a module such as combustion chamber, nozzle or compressor, is calculated by front ...

Where is the thrust of a turbojet felt? [duplicate]
At a high level, this is simple. Hot gas goes out the back, and Newton's third law says the engine is pushed forwards. But when you look inside the engine, it's less clear which part experiences the ...

Is it true that high-bypass engines are inherently inefficient at higher speeds?
Power consumption=Kinetic energy=$1/2mv^2$.
Thrust=momentum change=$mv$.
I keep being told that aircraft engines are most efficient when their exhaust velocity closely matches the freestream.
The ...

Why is thrust available constant with speed for turbojet engines, when it varies with speed for turboprop engines?
Similarly, why is power available (nearly) constant with speed for a propeller engine, while it varies for a jet engine?
