Why tires are in black colour?
Tyres are mixture of various rubbers with carbon
black added. Carbon black improves traction and wear resistance of pure rubber.
Another reason is that black color has higher
absorption capability by which the tyre of any vehicle becomes adhesive to
road.
Afterburner:
An afterburner (or a reheat) is an additional
component present on some jet engines, mostly military supersonic aircraft. Its
purpose is to provide an increase in thrust, usually for supersonic flight,
takeoff and for combat situations. Afterburning is achieved by injecting
additional fuel into the jet pipe downstream of (i.e. after) the turbine. The
advantage of afterburning is significantly increased thrust; the disadvantage
is its very high fuel consumption and inefficiency, though this is often
regarded as acceptable for the short periods during which it is usually used.
