Evaluation of End- and Radial-Burning Solid Fuels in Ram Jets Mounted in a Free Jet at Mach Numbers of 2.0, 2.2, and 2.3 (open access)

Evaluation of End- and Radial-Burning Solid Fuels in Ram Jets Mounted in a Free Jet at Mach Numbers of 2.0, 2.2, and 2.3

Report presenting testing of two types of solid fuels in a 6.5-inch-diameter ram-jet engine mounted in a free supersonic jet at several Mach numbers. Results regarding radial-burning fuel, end-burning fuel, and a comparison of the two are provided. Unlike in previous testing, no fuel breakup was noted due to recently developed molding techniques.

Preliminary Investigation of the Effects of Inlet Asymmetry on the Performance of Converging-Diverging Diffusers at Transonic Speeds

Report presenting the effects of inclining the plane of the inlet on the performance of several converging-diverging diffusers at zero angle of attack for a range of Mach numbers. Results regarding Schileren photographs, static-pressure recovery, total-pressure loss, and total-pressure distributions are provided.
