Design, Construction, and Testing of a 6 in. Valveless-Resojet

Abstract

Six in. valveless-resojet engine was designed, constructed, and tested. Power plant consists of combustion chamber, nozzle pipe, air intake duct, and a means of injecting and igniting fuel. Valving is accomplished acoustically rather than mechanically. Gaseous propane was used as fuel. This power plant is capable of delivering a maximum net thrust of 13.5 lb at specific thrust of 835 lb/lb/sec. Engine could be used in applications which require a light-weight, jet-propelled unit or as gas generator for driving turbines.
