Question 20 (5 points)
In a jet engine, what purpose does the afterburner serve?
A,) It reheats the gas from the fuel and releases it more rapidly.
B.) It burns fuel once the plane reaches its maximum altitude.
C.) After the plane lands, it burns off excess fuel that wasn't used in flight.
D.) It provides a way to slow the plane down by cooling the exhaust gas.

Respuesta :

Well A seems like the most correct answer, the actual purpose of an afterburner is to inject fuel directly into the exhaust stream to increase thrust by as much as 50%. It’s usually used to go supersonic

It reheats the gas from the fuel and releases it more rapidly.

The answer is option A.

How long can a jet fly on an afterburner?

In full afterburner at low altitudes, the F-16 can burn in excess of 64,000 pounds an hour. At full throttle, a U.S.-variant F-16 with maximum external fuel stores has about 20 minutes until it's on emergency reserves (which would only last an extra minute or so at full afterburner).

Does afterburner increase thermal efficiency?

Since the exhaust gas already has a reduced oxygen content, owing to the previous combustion, and since the fuel is not burning in a highly compressed air column, the afterburner is generally inefficient in comparison to the main combustion process.
