Jet Turbine and Game Quiz

In the lesson today, we had a demonstration of how a jet turbine works and a game quiz where our class is split into two groups to compete.

For the jet turbine demo, we were told to take note of the temperature inside the turbine, as well as the Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). After putting on the headphone, we could hardly hear a thing until the turbine started up, and we could actually hear the noises made by the engine, thus the actual noise level must be really deafening. When it first started, there was a blast of non-luminous flames at the output and a smell of kerosene burning. We saw that the highest RPM went up to over 80,000. The temperature in the turbine increased to a few hundred as well.

Next, for the game quiz. Our group managed to answer every single of our questions correctly and when the other group answered theirs incorrectly, we solved them instantly!! :D
Our score was 230 which was more than two times of the other group's score. WE WERE ALL EXTREMELY ELATED!! :D We did not study in vain. :)
