A sub-scale turbojet test cell for design evaluations and analytical model validation

摘要

A one-eighth scale (1/64 scale on mass flow) NARF Alameda turbojet test cell was designed and constructed. The test cell is to be employed for evaluation of optimum augmentor design and pollution abatement methods and for validation of analytical models. Initial evaluation of the test cell demonstrated its versatility and ease of operation as well as some deficiencies. Model operating characteristics and planned investigations are discussed.
