THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF GAS DYNAMICS

Abstract

(Test methods, Test equipment, Shock tubes, High speed cameras.) Gas flow, Thermodynamics. The primary objective of the program was to determine the conditions necessary to obtain a rapid chemical reaction in the immediate vicinity of a shock wave. The initial shock wave, generated in the gaseous oxidizer, was allowed to disperse the injected fuel droplets and to raise the temperature and pressure of the fueloxidizer mixture. It was then reflected from the end of the shock tube and allowed to pass through the dispersed fuel droplets and oxidizer. The course of the reflected shock wave was followed photographically to determine the degree of chemical reaction of the fuel-oxidizer mixture. Results showed that the chemical reaction between the fuel and oxidizer was observed only after the passage of the reflected shock wave. (Author)
