Effect of inlet-air temperature on performance of a 16-inch ram-jet combustor

A J Cervenka, E E Dangle, Robert Friedman

Abstract

Report presenting an investigation of the effect of inlet-air temperature on the combustion efficiency of a 16-inch ram-jet engine in a connected-pipe installation. The engine was operated over a range of fuel-air ratios with several different combustor configurations and two fuel types. Configurations tested included a sloping baffle and a can-type combustor in three configurations.
