Use of Highly Reactive Chemical Additives to Improve Afterburner Performance at Altitude
Description:
Memorandum presenting an investigation in an altitude test chamber to evaluate the use of highly reactive chemicals injected into a turbojet afterburner to promote the combustion process, which was inhibited by water vapor from compressor-inlet injection. The chemicals evaluated were commercial hydrogen and aluminum trimethyl. Results regarding the effects of hydrogen injection on afterburner performance and effect of aluminum trimethyl afterburner fuel additive on performance are provided.
