Combustion Chamber Research Program
Abstract
Ignition and stable combustion in 7-in. diameter combustion chamber were possible up to maximum air velocity of about 150 ft/sec, but combustion efficiency was only 70%. Effect of chamber length in 4-in. diameter ramjet was investigated. Experiments indicated that with poor upstream flow distribution, it was very difficult to initiate smooth burning if the tail pipe extended more than 2 ft beyond flame holder. Short combustion chambers are easier to start under all inlet conditions.
