Effect of hot-gas bleedback ice prevention on performance of a turbojet engine with fixed-area tail-pipe nozzle (open access)

Effect of hot-gas bleedback ice prevention on performance of a turbojet engine with fixed-area tail-pipe nozzle

Report presenting the results of an analytical investigation, which demonstrated that the inlet of a turbojet engine can be protected from ice accretions by bleeding hot gases from other locations within the engine to the inlet without undue loss in thrust. Results regarding the bleedback requirements, engine performance, effect of nozzle area, mixing efficiency, and seriousness of thrust losses are provided.
