Internal Ballistics of Solid Fuel Ramjets.

Abstract

An experimental investigation of the internal ballistics of solid fuel ramjets was conducted in order to determine the regression rate of the fuel as a function of chamber pressure, inlet air temperature, and air flux rate, and to model the flow in solid fuel ramjets which use sudden expansion flame-holders at the inlet. In addition, flame stabilization limits were investigated. A computer solution for the non-reacting flow field gave results in good agreement with experiments. (Modified author abstract)
