Ignition, Combustion, Detonation and Heat Addition to Established Flows.

Abstract

Detonation Induction distances have been measured at room-temperature at various initial pressures in hydrogen-oxygen third gas mixtures. Various detonation parameters of these mixtures have been calculated at various initial temperatures down to 100K. A conical burner tube with a wide approach section has been set up to measure the normal flame speeds of various hydrogen-oxygen third gas mixtures at temperatures down to 200K. A new combustion tube is being assembled for the study of heat addition to an existing flow of air. Rigorous calculations have been made to evaluate the performance of ramjets using hydrogen or propane as fuel and flying at speeds ranging from M (infinity) = 1 to M (infinity) = 10. (Author)
