Why does a rocket require a rocket engine not a jet engine?

While they may appear to be the same type engine, a jet engine and rocket engine are two separate types of engines. A jet engine functions by pushing air backwards through the use of different methods (turbines, atmospheric pressure, etc.) while a rocket engine operates through the force of its exhaust pushing backwards, thus providing thrust in the opposite direction. In short, because a rocket engine pushes force backwards through its own exhaust, it is more efficient than a jet engine in lower atmospheric pressures or sometimes vacuums (such as in space) A jet, on the other hand, needs air. This is because it uses air as its medium of force and not its own exhaust. In relation to your question, a rocket uses a rocket engine because it is usually built for higher altitudes or escape from the earth's immediate influence altogether. It therefore has more need for an engine to match. They are also used by enthusiasts because they are easier, cheaper (depending on type) and (in comparison, but also depends on type) smaller to build. I hope this answers your question (but probably confused you more) Hopefully, someone else who understands this will simplify it for me, and correct possible mistakes.


What is the simplest engine that is made of a burning chamber and a nozzle?

rocket engine seems to be of this type. as the air-fuel mixture is burned and flame is made to propogate through nozzle to provide thrust

What is mixture ratio of Rocket Propellants?

The mixture ratio of rocket propellants refers to the ratio of oxidizer to fuel in a rocket engine. It is an important parameter that determines the performance and efficiency of the engine. The specific mixture ratio can vary depending on the type of propellants used and the design requirements of the rocket.
