Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Jet Propulsion Devices

Abstract

Experiments were conducted to increase thrust and to develop a satisfactory method of ignition in jet propulsion devices. Combustion chambers were studied and a chamber design was developed which operates satisfactorily from a combustion standpoint. The starting method seems acceptable and heat releases up to 21,400,000 BTU/hr/cu ft of combustion chamber volume reduced to atmospheric pressure have been obtained. Description is given of the test apparatus and procedure.
