Düsenmotorentechnik

Düsenmotorentechnik refers to the engineering principles and technologies behind jet engines. These engines operate on Newton's third law of motion, expelling a high-speed jet of fluid (typically air) in one direction to generate thrust in the opposite direction. The fundamental process involves drawing in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, igniting the mixture, and expelling the resulting hot gases at high velocity. Key components include the intake, compressor, combustion chamber, turbine, and nozzle. The compressor, often a series of rotating blades, increases the pressure and temperature of the incoming air. Fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and ignited, causing a rapid expansion of gases. These hot gases then pass through the turbine, which is driven by the gas flow and in turn powers the compressor. Finally, the gases are accelerated through the nozzle, producing thrust. Different types of jet engines exist, including turbojets, turbofans, turboprops, and ramjets, each with variations in their design and application, particularly in their use of bypass air or propellers.
