Gas Turbine Engine Fundamentals
1. Introduction to Gas Turbine Engines
1.1 Brayton Cycle
The Brayton cycle is a continuous combustion cycle.
1.2 Jet Engines vs. Rocket Engines
Rocket Engines:
- Carry their own fuel and oxidizer.
- Do not require atmospheric air for combustion.
Jet Engines:
- Use atmospheric air for combustion.
- Share the same principle of operation as rocket engines (action/reaction).
Key Difference: The primary difference lies in the source of the oxidizer.
1.3 Jet Engine and Turbofan Engine Characteristics
True Statement: The

Multimedia Data
Multimedia data is an interactive way to represent information to a user. It includes several categories of data like textual data, audio data, video data, etc. The database which is used to hold these different kinds of multimedia data is known as a multimedia database. Nowadays, we as a user take the help of various forms of media such as text, images, audio, video, and graphic objects for communication or to gain any kind of information. These media forms are collectively known

Q. Describe SQLite
SQLite is a lightweight, self-contained relational database management system (RDBMS) that doesn’t require a separate server process. It’s embedded directly into the end program, making it ideal for small to medium-sized applications, especially those with low to medium traffic. It supports standard SQL syntax and provides most of the features of a traditional database system, including transactions and ACID compliance. It’s widely used in mobile apps, embedded systems, and as
