Experimental Investigation of Thrust Augmentation of Axial-flow-type 4000-pound-thrust Turbojet Engine by Water and Alcohol Injection at Compressor Inlet

Burnett Baron, Harry W. Dowman, William C Dackis

Abstract

Report presenting an experimental investigation of thrust augmentation of an axial-flow-type turbojet engine with a 4000-pound-thrust rating using a water-alcohol injection at the compressor inlet at sea-level conditions and zero ram. Three injection systems were investigated in order to obtain satisfactory atomization and distribution of the injected liquids. Results regarding engine performance and engine operation are provided.
