Theoretical Investigation of Thrust Augmentation of Turbojet Engines by Tail-Pipe Burning
Abstract
Charts are presented from which the thrust augmentation produced may be evaluated from the normal engine data and from the performance of the tail-pipe burner. Curves are given from which the friction and momentum total pressure losses may be calculated. Calculations indicate that it is possible to augment the static sea level thrust of current turbojet engine 42% and the thrust produced at 700 mph 96%. The effect of altitude on thrust augmentation is slight for a given set of conditions.
