AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE SUPERSONIC COMPRESSOR AS A MEANS OF OBTAINING HYPERSONIC FLOW SIMULATION AT LOW ALTITUDES.

Abstract

A study of the potentialities of the supersonic compressor as a means of obtaining hypersonic flow simulation at low altitudes is presented. For compressors operating at tip speeds of about 2000 fps., an optimum simulation exists at a compressor supply temperature of about 600 K and an inlet Mach number of 2. This optimum provides true temperature, sea level simulation at a test Mach number of 9. (Author)
