Design, Construction and Testing of a Sub-scale Turbojet Test Cell.

Abstract

A one-eighth scale turbojet test cell was designed and constructed and initially operated to determine facility characteristics. Experiments were then conducted to determine engine operating characteristics, inlet velocity profiles and cell pressure profiles for two augmentor-to-engine spacings. Experimental data were compared to existing computer model predictions and showed qualitative agreement. Recommendations are made for facility improvements. (Author)
