← ScienceWhich constraint causes after-burning instability in a jet engine?
A)Exceeding the flammability LEL / UEL✓
B)Imperfect fuel-air mixing homogeneity
C)Insufficient exhaust nozzle throat area
D)High levels of ingested water vapor
💡 Explanation
Exceeding flammability concentrations (LEL/UEL) causes after-burning instability via deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) because the mixture reactivity runaway, resulting overpressure damages the engine; therefore detonation, rather than deflagration becomes dominant under limited conditions.
