Abstract

This report presents a procedure in order to portray the effect of design choices on SCRAMJET dynamic performance in the context of real gas effects. Procedure is based on one-dimensional fluid flow analysis. The less quantifiable aspects of boundary layer transition, mixing, and non-uniform nozzle flow are included in approximate parametric fashion by allowing for parallel flow paths through the engine and nozzle, with possibility of thermal energy exchange between various flow streams. The effect of finite recombination rates in the nozzle is included by allowing for freezing of the chemical composition at any specified static pressure in the nozzle. Exploratory results from the digital implementation of this procedure in FORTRAN language are also included.
