jet flames

Jet flames occur when fuel is injected into a high-speed jet of compressed air or gas, such as in a turbine or rocket engine. The rapid mixing of fuel with the oxygen-rich air causes combustion, producing a visible flame. These flames are characterized by their high temperature, bright appearance, and turbulent, flickering nature due to the dynamic airflow. They are essential for efficient energy release and propulsion, and their behavior depends on factors like fuel type, air pressure, and airflow velocity. Understanding jet flames helps optimize combustion processes for better performance and safety in engines and industrial applications.
