Preliminary Results From Free-Jet Tests of a 48-Inch-Diameter Ram-Jet Combustor With an Annular-Piloted Baffle-Type Flameholder

"A ram-jet engine with an experimental 48-inch-diameter combustor was investigated in a free-jet facility. The combustor design comprised a large-volume annular pilot region and an array of sloping baffle- or gutter-type flameholders. The combustor was intended to operate at a fuel-air ratio of about 0.037" (p. 1).

Preliminary Results From Free Jet Tests of a 48-Inch-Diameter Ram-Jet Combustor With an Annular-Piloted Baffle-Type Flameholder

Report presenting an investigation in a free-jet facility of a ramjet engine with an experimental 48-inch-diameter combustor. Three combustor lengths, three lengths of the shroud which separated the bypass air from the burning stream, and four fuel-distribution systems were investigated over a range of fuel-air ratios and a range of engine air flows. Results regarding the engine performance and ignition data, effect of fuel profile on combustion efficiency, total-pressure ratio, and distribution of static pressure in the main air stream are provided.

Comparison of two methods of modulating the throat area of convergent plug nozzles (open access)

Comparison of two methods of modulating the throat area of convergent plug nozzles

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect on performance of two methods of throat-area modulation of two convergent plug nozzles. Data were obtained over a range of pressure ratios. Results regarding the performance of the translatable outer-shell-type plug nozzle, performance of the iris-outer-shell-type plug nozzles, sensitivity to throat-area variation, and air-flow parameter are provided.

Analysis of factors affecting selection and design of air-cooled single-stage turbines for turbojet engines 4: coolant-flow requirements and performance of engines using air-cooled corrugated-insert blades

Report presenting an investigation of the estimated minimum cooling requirements and related performance of turbojet engines equipped with high-performance single-stage turbines with air-cooled corrugated-insert blades over a range of turbine-inlet temperature, tip speed, and hub-tip radius ratio for Mach number 2 at 50,000 feet. The effects of stress-ratio factor, flight Mach number, altitude, turbine rotor impeller efficiency, and outside heat-transfer coefficient on cooling requirements were also investigated.

Preliminary Results From Free-Jet Tests of a 48-Inch-Diameter Ram-Jet Combustor With an Annular Can-Type Flame Holder

Report presenting an investigation in an NACA free-jet facility of a ramjet engine with an experimental 48-inch-diameter combustor. Three combustor lengths and three fuel-distribution systems were investigated over a range of fuel-air ratios and at two air flows. Results regarding the combustor performance and ignition data, velocity profile, and starting characteristics are provided.
