CALCULATION OF THE ENGINE THRUST REQUIRED TO MOVE A CAR IN A TUBE

RASCHET TYAGI DVIGATELYA, NEOBKHODIMOI DLYA DVIZHENIYA VAGONA V TRUBE

The motion of a car in an infinite tube under the effect of a turbojet engine is considered. A solution is obtained for the problem of unsteady gas flow arising when a car moves along at a constant velocity. The value of drag and the thrust force necessary for the motion are determined. A formula is found to determine the asymptotic value of the force.
