We were talking about turbojets, not reciprocating internal combustion engines. From a process point of view (I do not speak of technology), a reactor is much simpler because all functions (admission, compression, combustion, expansion, exhaust) are made in a dedicated section of the machine, continuously. In an alternative engine it is the opposite, everything is done in the same place and successively.
The article cited speaks of engines, not reactors. So do not generalize.

Re: Water injection competing in the 80 years
Yes, but only as stated above to increase take-off thrust.

- Increase the admission rate, ie the mass of mixture, by cooling the mixture or intake air by evaporation of this water. Thus this increased the specific power of the engine.
it deserves reflection, even if the result was there
that would mean that the part of water injected, gaining volume after having evaporated, even if it is a small quantity (at 1 atm the volume taken by water is multiplied by 1700 approx, here at 2,8 atm, it would be 607)
would be less important than the contraction of intake air that would go from 60 ° C to 12 ° C (14,4% less volume)
Who is stalled in mass heat?
Or the vaporization starts by making small droplets that are only partially evaporated in the intake pipe, and end up cooling the air during compression, vaporizing completely, but here we are already, I think in the second pointEconology wrote:- increase the detonation resistance of the mixture (ie increase the octane number of the mixture). In this sense, this joins the MW50 - Methanol Water - injection on 2e WWII fighter planes (click here for more information).
here is for chemistsEconology wrote:- cool the internal components (including: liner, valve, seat, piston ...) of the engine during strong solicitations. [/ i]
Here is the most understandable
bolt
Yeah, I totally agree with you
