INVESTIGATION OF THE MIXING OF COAXIAL HETEROGENEOUS GAS JETS AS APPLIED TO SUPERSONIC COMBUSTION.
Abstract
An experimental investigation of the turbulent mixing of a sonic jet of helium discharging coaxially into a supersonic jet of air was made using a two dimensional mixing chamber. Volumetric concentration profiles were obtained and mass concentration and velocity along the jet centerline were plotted. The results indicated that both these vary inversely with the distance from the mixing origin raised to a four third power. Schlieren photography was applied in a semi-quantitative manner to confirm the validity of the above findings. This research project finds a potential application in the study and analysis of supersonic combustion ramjet engines. (Author)
