Water methanol for cooling is injected into the
- compressor inlet or outlet.
- engine hot zone.
- combustion chamber.
Explanation
Coolant water/methanol is introduced at the compressor inlet or at the compressor outlet (diffuser/combustion chamber inlet). Injecting at these points cools and densifies the airflow, restoring thrust, rather than dumping liquid into the hot turbine zone directly.
Jordi asking:
why isnt methanol injected into combustion to help with the freezing of water?

Water metanol inj3ction îs mostly used when taking off from airports situate AT higher altitudes wher air density îs decreased, s-o IT îs used to cool The air entering The inlet to in crease IT s density
