Experimental investigation of pressure fluctuations in 3.6 inch ram jet at Mach number 1.92

Description: Report presenting an experimental study of the pressure fluctuations at the combustion-chamber inlets of a ramjet operating a Mach number of 1.92 in the supersonic tunnel. Results are presented for two burner configurations of different operating characteristics to indicate trends in pressure magnitude, frequency, and wave form. Results regarding the perforated conical flame holder, regenerative-type burner, and diffuser total-pressure recovery are provided.

Study of compressor systems for a gas-generator engine

Description: Report presenting various methods of providing compressor-capacity and pressure-ratio control in the gas-generator type of compound engine over a range of altitudes. The analytical results indicated that the best method of control is that in which the first stage of compression is carried out in a variable-speed supercharger driven by a hydraulic slip coupling. Results regarding the constant-pressure-ratio compressor, constant-volume compressor, comparison of piston-type and rotary compressors,… more

Effect of temperature on performance of several ejector configurations

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of the primary-jet temperature on the performance of several ejector configurations. The performance of ejectors expressed in terms of the ratio of weight of secondary air flow to primary air flow was found to be affected by temperature in two ways.
