THEORETICAL COMBUSTION PERFORMANCE OF SEVERAL HIGH-ENERGY FUELS FOR RAMJET ENGINES

摘要

The effects of inlet air temperature and combustion pressure are investigated for some of the fuels. Because of the limited range of inlet conditions considered, means of extending these data to other inlet conditions are presented.nDetermination of air specific-impulse efficiency and combustion efficiency for experimental combustion by means of the theoretical data herein is discussed. The use of the theoretical performance data in determining the relative flows of the various fuels to an engine operating at a fixed thrust level is described.
