Analysis and Experimental Observation of Pressure Losses in Ram-Jet Combustion Chambers

Description: From Introduction: "Some experimental data on flame-holder pressure losses have been presented (reference 1 to 4). A theoretical analysis that assume a sudden enlargement of flow area was made at the NACA Lewis laboratory to determine the effect of flame-holder open area and combustion-chamber-inlet Mach number on the pressure losses across flame holders. The results of this analysis were then compared with experimental data obtained with several different flame-holder designs."
