Thrust and pumping characteristics of cylindrical ejectors using afterburning turbojet gas generator

Static tests of cylindrical ejectors having ejector to primary diameter ratios from 1.1 to 1.6 and ejector length to primary nozzle diameter ratios from 0.9 to 2.1 are reported. Power setting of the J85-13 turbojet engine was varied from part power to maximum afterburning. Corrected secondary weight flow ratio was varied from 0.02 to 0.08 over a range of exhaust nozzle pressure ratios from 2.0 to 9.0. Secondary flow temperature rise and pressure drop characteristics through the nacelle secondary flow passage were also obtained.

Effect of External Boundary Layer on Performance of Axisymmetric Inlet at Mach Numbers of 3.0 and 2.5

The effect of an external boundary layer on the performance of an axisymmetric external-internal-compression inlet was evaluated at Mach numbers of 3.0 and 2.5 and Reynolds numbers from 2.2 to 0.5 x 10(exp 6) per foot. The inlet was tested at locations up to two-thirds of the way into the 1.7- and 9.0-inch boundary layers generated by a flat plate and the tunnel floor, respectively. The inlet could be readily started at all conditions tested, including those where the boundary layer was separated upstream of the inlet by the various shock systems during the restart cycle. Although the inlet performance decreased with increasing immersion into the boundary layer at both Mach numbers, the inlet was more sensitive to boundary-layer ingestion at the design Mach number of 3.0.
