These two bearings are generally used in Mechanical
equipments.
Industrial machinery with high power and high loads, such as steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, pumps and motors, utilize journal bearings as rotor supports.
One of the basic purposes of a bearing is to provide a frictionless environment to support and guide a rotating shaft.
A thrust bearing is a type of Rotary bearing. They permit rotation between parts, but they are designed to support a high AXIAL load

Thrust Bearing keeps a check on the Axial Movement, ie. horizontal movement. The bearings plays a cushioning role for the shaft movement axially.
Journal bearings aligns the rotor and it will cushion the radial movement

Journal bearings support radial loads, providing support for rotating shafts. Thrust bearings, on the other hand, support axial loads and are designed to handle thrust forces along the axis of the shaft. Both types of bearings serve different purposes in machine components.
A thrust bearing is designed to handle axial loads (parallel to the shaft), while a radial bearing is designed to handle radial loads (perpendicular to the shaft). These bearings have different internal structures to accommodate their respective load types. Thrust bearings usually have a series of balls or rollers to support axial loads, whereas radial bearings have a raceway to support radial loads.
Net thrust in a ramjet engine is the actual useful thrust generated for propulsion, while gross thrust is the total thrust including the contributions from ram pressure. The net thrust is the difference between the gross thrust and the drag of the engine itself. The net thrust determines the actual propulsion force available for moving the aircraft forward.
Propulsion refers to the overall mechanism of moving an object forward, while thrust specifically refers to the force pushing an object in the opposite direction of its movement. In simpler terms, propulsion is the system that generates thrust to propel an object forward.
Thrust is the force generated by an engine to propel an object forward, like an airplane. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, pulling it downward towards the Earth. In order for an object to fly, the thrust generated by its engines must be greater than its weight.
No, the upward force on an airplane wing is not thrust. It is actually lift, which is generated due to the pressure difference between the top and bottom surfaces of the wing as the air flows over it. Thrust is the forward force that propels the airplane through the air.
