Just think in terms of the P-V diagram, you want the pressure increase curve to be as vertical as possible to maximize the area enclosed by the cycle

- twic 1y agoThis doesn't help at all. Diagrams are diagrams, what does it actually mean physically?
- Akronymus 1y agoExplosions release more energy in a shorter time, which leads to a higher peak temperature and thus higher kinetic energy in the products. This directly results in more pressure/thrust.
