Example 7: Figure 3.17 Illustrates A Ramjet Traveling in Level Flight at An Altitude of 55,000 FT With A

The document describes a ramjet traveling at 55,000 ft and 536 m/s. It has a normal shock at the inlet, an isentropic diffusion from the inlet to the combustion chamber, combustion at constant area and 1280 K, and an isentropic expansion. The combustion uses an air to fuel ratio of 40:1. It asks to calculate mass flow rate, throat area, pressure drop, thrust for convergent-divergent and convergent nozzles, propulsive efficiency for both cases, specific fuel consumption for both cases, and draw T-S diagrams for both nozzle configurations.

Example 7: Figure 3.

17 illustrates a ramjet traveling in level flight at an altitude of 55,000 ft with a


constant speed of 536 m/s. The intake conditions have been simplified to represent the formation of a
normal shock wave immediately at the inlet. It may be assumed that the pressure external to the duct
is everywhere that of the ambient atmosphere. The inlet process 2–3 is an isentropic diffusion, and
the combustion process 3–4 occurs through the addition of fuel at constant area frictionless duct, the
stagnation temperature at 4 being 1280 K. Process 4–5 is an isentropic expansion. Assume that the
air–fuel ratio is 40/1. Take the working fluid as air with γ = 1.4 for all processes. The areas of the
intake and combustion chamber are A2 = 0.0929 m2 and A3 = 0.1858 m2.
(a) Calculate the mass flow rate.
(b) Calculate the throat area at (5).
(c) Calculate the pressure drop in the combustion chamber.
(d) Calculate the thrust developed by the ramjet if the nozzle expands the gas down to the
ambient pressure.
(e) Repeat (c) for a convergent nozzle.
(f) Calculate the propulsive efficiency for cases (c) and (d) above.
(g) Calculate the TSFC in both cases.
(h) Draw the cycle on T–S diagram for both cases of convergent–divergent and convergent
nozzles.
