Scramjet Nozzles
نویسنده
چکیده
The lecture is given in four parts, each being a step in the process of nozzle design, and within each part the methods and techniques preferred by the lecturer are presented. We begin with a reminder concerning control volumes and the separation of aerodynamic and propulsive forces and moments. Then it is demonstrated how an appropriate control volume can help define the propulsive force vector that maximises cruise efficiency. The third part recounts Rao's method for maximising thrust when nozzle length is restricted and the final part introduces a new, simpler, Method of Characteristics (MOC) for non-equilibrium flows.

3d Computation of Single-expansion-ramp and Scramjet Nozzles
Description of the computations for three-dimensional nonaxisymmetric nozzles and analysis of the flowfields are presented in this paper. Two different types of nozzles are investigated for con~pressible flows at high Reynolds numbers. These are the single-expansionramp and scramjet nozzles. The computation for the single-expansion-ramp nozzle focuses on the condition of low pressure ratio, whi...

This paper reports the simultaneous measurements of multiple flow parameters in a scramjet facility operating at a nominal Mach number of 2.5 using a sensing system based on tunable diode-laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS). The TDLAS system measures velocity, temperature, and water vapor partial pressure at three different locations of the scramjet: the inlet, the combustion region near the ...
متن کاملTrajectory Analysis for the Hy-v Scramjet Flight Experiment and the Effects of a Recovery System
With the retirement of the space shuttle near and rising fuel prices driving a demand for more efficient travel, alternative engine technology is being heavily researched. The scramjet, or supersonic combustion ramjet, has proven to be a promising development in reusable hypersonic transportation. Flight testing these engines, however, is very expensive and no scramjet flight has yet been recov...
