Open publisher page 13 citations

Abstract

Description of a simplified one-dimensional treatment of fuel injection for supersonic combustor performance analysis. Representative mixing efficiency variations for both parallel and cross-stream injection are obtained, and approximate means for estimating the length required for complete mixing are demonstrated. Comparisons of calculated and measured data show good agreement.
