The compressor increases the pressure of the incoming air by compressing it, which allows more air to be packed into the combustion chamber. This increased air pressure helps create a more efficient combustion process, which leads to more power being produced in the engine.
In a jet engine, air is sucked into the front of the compressor where fuel is injected and mixed with the high-pressure air. This mixture is then ignited in the combustion chamber and the resulting high-temperature, high-pressure gases are pushed out of the exhaust nozzle to create thrust for propulsion.
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.
Compressing the charge in the combustion chamber increases its temperature, which makes it easier to ignite. A higher compression ratio generates more power and efficiency in the engine by ensuring a more complete combustion of the fuel-air mixture. Additionally, compression helps to create a stable flame front for consistent and efficient combustion.
A double-acting compressor has two compression chambers that operate simultaneously. During each cycle, one chamber compresses air while the other chamber prepares to compress air. This design increases efficiency and allows for continuous compression without downtime.
A combustion controller maintains the optimal air-fuel ratio in a combustion process to ensure efficient and safe operation of the system. It regulates the amount of fuel and air supplied to the combustion chamber to achieve complete combustion and desired results.
The combustion chamber is the primary mixer - its ingredients are injected or inducted by valves and carburettor. These days computers control most compositions mixed in the combustion chamber and analyze the effect of the combustion on the mixtures.

the hottest point of the jet engine is the combustion chamber
An intake fan, a compressor, a combustion chamber, a nozzle. Depends how in depth you want to go.
Turbojets consist of an air inlet, an air compressor, a combustion chamber, a gas turbine (that drives the air compressor) and a nozzle. The air is compressed into the chamber, heated and expanded by the fuel combustion and then allowed to expand out through the turbine into the nozzle where it is accelerated to high speed to provide propulsion.
Can combustors are self contained cylindrical combustion chambers. Each "can" has its ownfuel injector, igniter, liner, and casing. Made up of individual combustion chambers. This type of combustion chamber is so arranged that air from the compressor enters each individual chamberthrough the adapter. Each individual chamber is composed of two cylindrical tubes, the combustionchamber liner and the outer combustion chamber. Combustion takes place within the liner. Airflowinto the combustion area is controlled by small louvers located in the inner dome, and by roundholes and elongated louvers along the length of the liner.

A FSI or Fuel Stratified Injection engine functions by having the gasoline injected directly into the combustion chamber of each cylinder in the engine.
A gas turbine consists of three main sections: the compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine. The compressor draws in and compresses air, increasing its pressure and temperature. In the combustion chamber, fuel is mixed with the compressed air and ignited, producing high-temperature, high-pressure gases. Finally, the turbine extracts energy from these gases, converting it into mechanical energy to drive the compressor and produce power.
More modern engines use a fuel injection system where the fuel is computer controlled and injected in the right amounts and right time into the chamber. Older engines may use carburettors, which spray the fuel into the chamber, but are controlled mechanically.
a petrol engine needs to mix its air and fuel before passing it into the combustion chamber before being ignited diesel has its air mixture heated as the piston compresses it in the combustion chamber then the atomized diesel fuel is injected into the hot air and is ignited.
