A STUDY OF HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS OF HOT GAS IGNITION.
Abstract
Major effort was directed towards the completion of the experimental apparatus and the initiation of experimental tests. Hot gas heater fabrication and assembly was completed. The two-inch diameter steady-state test section was fabricated, instrumented and installed. The operation of the system was successfully checked out during both cold and hot gas flow tests. Some minor equipment modifications were required to improve /nitial response of the system. A computer program was devised to process and graph the experimental data. This computer program is nearing completion. A total of ten runs were made under hot gas flow conditions covering a range of m and L/D. The data have not yet been processed, but preliminary hand calculations for one run gave very encouraging results. Analytical studies were conducted to develop a suitable gas dynamic and heat transfer model to aid in data correlation. The nature of the initial jet expansion was examined in detail and available expressions for the fully developed flow heat transfer coefficient were compared. (Author)
