Preliminary investigation of effects of combustion in ram jet on performance of supersonic diffusers 1: shock diffuser with triple-shock projecting cone

Report presenting an investigation in the 20-inch supersonic tunnel at Mach number 1.92 with a 3.6-inch-diameter ram jet to determine the effects of combustion on the performance of a shock diffuser with a triple-shock projecting cone. Results are presented for a range of outlet areas and fuel flows with both single- and split-fuel-injection systems. Results regarding diffuser performance with combustion, combustion with constant outlet-inlet area ratio, combustion with constant fuel flow, diffuser performance with combustion, and Mach number distribution at the diffuser outlet are provided.
