Question about jet engine mechanics. The term "After Burn", I think I have a general concept that massive amounts of fuel is dumped within the engine to produce a surge in thrust. I'd like to more details (on the level of a mechanical engineer) on really how a jet engine works and really what happens when the "After Burner" kicks in. I don't expect a dissertation or thesis, I just want to know more about the how it works.

Thank you,
Keep up the great work RUN,
