← ScienceWhich outcome determines jet engine combustor stability using non-dimensional analysis?
A)Flow separation inside the engine
B)Flameout near the nozzle outlet
C)Reynolds number within the combustor✓
D)Thermal choking in the exhaust turbine
💡 Explanation
Flame stability correlates to Reynolds number because fuel-air mixing relies on turbulent transport; therefore, combustor design targets an optimal nondimensional range to maintain stable combustion, rather than allowing flameout due to poor mixing.
