A THEORETICAL REAL-GAS ANALYSIS OF THE EXPANSION TUNNEL

Abstract

A theoretical real-gas analysis of the expansion tunnel is presented. A digital computer program, developed for this investigation, is discussed and Fortran listings and flow charts are included. Tunnel performance, test gas slug length, and 'working' parameters are given for several expansion area ratios. Driver temperature and energy requirements are given for specific cases.
