Experimental Evaluation of Gaseous Hydrogen Fuel in a 16-inch-diameter Ram-jet Engine

E E Dangle, W. R. Kerslake

Abstract

Report presenting a determination of the combustion efficiency of gaseous hydrogen fuel in a ramjet engine in a connected-pipe test facility. Operating conditions simulated a range of Mach numbers and altitudes. Results regarding the effect of inlet parameters and design variables on combustion efficiencies, comparison between methods of determining efficiency, and ignition characteristics are provided.
