About this document
Afterburning Jet Engine Overview by Estevam Gomes de Azevedo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Afterburning is a method used to augment the thrust of jet engines by injecting and burning additional fuel in the jet exhaust. This increases the temperature and velocity of the exhaust, providing more thrust. The key aspects of afterburning are: 1) Additional fuel is burned in the jet pipe between the engine turbine and propelling nozzle, using the oxygen in the exhaust gases. 2) A variable area propelling nozzle is required to accommodate the increased exhaust flow during afterburning and prevent pres
