Experimental investigation on secondary combustion characteristics of airbreathing rockets
Abstract
Empirical correlations of the secondary combustion efficiency of the airbreathing rocket were derived. From the results of a series of experiments employing a connected pipe facility, the combustion efficiency was related to dominant parameters. The feasibility of the performance prediction by one-dimensional analysis was also discussed. The analysis was found to be applicable to the flow processes in the secondary combustor, which include two-stream mixing and combustion.
