Note on the Performance of Propulsive Ducts

Abstract

In order to estimate the over-all performance of a ramjet engine, various calculations must be conducted on the aero and thermodynamic factors of the air intake, combustion chamber, and exhaust nozzle. These calculations are shown and explained, and the results are given. A schematic drawing of a ramjet engine and the nomenclature of the symbols are included. Previously determined calculations are discussed.
