What is the hot section of a jet engine the compressor or the turbine?

the hottest point of the jet engine is the combustion chamber


How does a jet engine create thrust?

There are a few different jet engines, but it basically needs bleed air and fuel. Air enters the engine where it is compressed and mixed with fuel. Next, the air/fuel is heated in a combustion chamber, then it is unleashed through the turbine as thrust.


Where is the jet engine from?

The Germans invented the first operational jet engine during WW2.


What is thrust for a jet engine?

The thrust of a Jet engine is calculated through the formula: F=(m_air+m_fuel)*v_e - m_air*v Where m_air is the mass flow rate of air entering into the engine m_fuel is the mass flow rate of fuel entering the combustion chamber v_e is the exit velocity of the exhaust gases (where v_e needs to be subsonic) v is the velocity of air entering the engine As you can see the thrust is reduced by the term m_air*v which physically has the significance of a drag at the intake of the engine. That's why rocket engine give usually a better thrust. Since they carry the oxidizer on-board that term doesn't exist for a rocket engine. I will let you think about the parameters you can play with to design an engine with as highest thrust as possible for a given (fixed fuel consumption). hint:v_e is influenced by things like combustion temperature, combustion pressure etc... Hope this helps!


Was it a romanian that invented the jet engine?

A Romanian, Henri Coanda, developed an engine in 1910 that was similar to the modern jet engine. Coanda's engine required an external motor in addition to the jet engine so most people accept that his development is not classed as the jet engine that was later developed by Sir Frank Whittle in Britain. Whittle produced the first jet engine that was self supporting and ran without the aid of external equipment.

Is a combustion engine or a jet engine more efficient?

can't be sure, but i would definably say jet engine, or else they would use combustion engines with propellers on every airplane


What is use for jet fuel?

What is the diffence between a hydrogen fuel cell and a hydrogen combustion engine?

A hydrogen fuel cell generates electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, producing water vapor as a byproduct. A hydrogen combustion engine burns hydrogen in a combustion process similar to traditional gasoline engines, producing mechanical energy. Fuel cells are more efficient and produce zero emissions, while combustion engines release pollutants.


How does the airplane engine works?

An aeroplane's engine sucks air. Combustion takes place due to jet fuel. The force of the combustion propels the aircraft.


How does Energy flow through jet engine?

First jet fuel is ignited by an electrical pulse.The flowing air supports the combustion.


What is the temperature inside the combustion chamber of a jet engine?

The temperature inside the combustion chamber of a jet engine can reach up to 2,000 to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1,100 to 1,650 degrees Celsius) due to the combustion of fuel with compressed air. This high temperature is necessary to achieve efficient fuel combustion and generate the thrust needed for the aircraft to operate.


What is the hot secion of a jet engine?

What is an aeropulse?

An aeropulse is another name for a pulsejet, a valved jet engine where combustion occurs in pulses.
