Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A technique is developed for determining a representative value of the maximum efficiency that can be achieved with high performance ejectors when operating on the supersonic solution branch of an ejector. These efficiencies are used to calculate thrust augmentation for an ejector over a wide range of parameters including operation with a hypothetical engine. Reasonable values of thrust augmentation can be achieved at low subsonic flight mach numbers. However, at flight Mach numbers near one, little or not thrust augmentation was found. At supersonic flight Mach numbers, thrust augmentation was achieved. Basic studies indicated that the effects of temperature was opposite at subsonic and supersonic flight Mach numbers. Thrust augmentation decreased with increasing temperature at subsonic Mach number sand increased with increasing temperature at supersonic Mach numbers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of an experimental investigation concerning the design and testing of air-to-air thrust augmenting ejectors utilizing short curved-wall diffusers are presented. These ejectors were designed primarily according to the procedure established in an analytical research effort sponsored by DTNSRDC from 1980-1981. Two of the three ejectors tested have identical mixing chambers. The mixing chamber inlet area to the primary nozzle area ratio lambda was 40. The overall ejector length-to-mixing chamber diameter ratios L/D(overall) were 6.09 and 6.16; diffuser area ratios AR(diff) were 1.33 and 1.46, respectively. The third ejector had an L/D(overall) of 6.02, a lambda of 20 and an AR(diff) of 1. 26. The best observed thrust augmentation ratio phi and the modified thrust augmentation ratio phi sub 2 were 2.11 and 1.91 respectively for a sonic primary jet. The modified thrust augmentation ratio phi sub 2 accounts for the penalty of suction in preventing flow separation in the diffuser. These levels of thrust ratio were derived from velocity measurements at the ejector exit. Independent thrust measurements obtained with strain gages on the mixing chamber agree with the force calculated from the momentum data. The experimentally observed ejector performance data correlated well with the predicted values. (Author).

This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple model of thrust augmentation from a pulsed source is described. In the model it is assumed that the flow into the ejector is quasi-steady, and can be calculated using potential flow techniques. The velocity of the flow is related to the speed of the starting vortex ring formed by the jet. The vortex ring properties are obtained from the slug model, knowing the jet diameter, speed and slug length. The model, when combined with experimental results, predicts an optimum ejector radius for thrust augmentation. Data on pulsed ejector performance for comparison with the model was obtained using a shrouded Hartmann-Sprenger tube as the pulsed jet source. A statistical experiment, in which ejector length, diameter, and nose radius were independent parameters, was performed at four different frequencies. These frequencies corresponded to four different slug length to diameter ratios, two below cut-off, and two above. Comparison of the model with the experimental data showed reasonable agreement. Maximum pulsed thrust augmentation is shown to occur for a pulsed source with slug length to diameter ratio equal to the cut-off value.Wilson, Jack and Deloof, Richard L.

This book was released on 2018-06-20 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present NASA GRC-funded three-year research project is focused on studying PDE driven ejectors applicable to a hybrid Pulse Detonation/Turbofan Engine. The objective of the study is to characterize the PDE-ejector thrust augmentation. A PDE-ejector system has been designed to provide critical experimental data for assessing the performance enhancements possible with this technology. Completed tasks include demonstration of a thrust stand for measuring average thrust for detonation tube multi-cycle operation, and design of a 72-in.-long, 2.25-in.-diameter (ID) detonation tube and modular ejector assembly. This assembly will allow testing of both straight and contoured ejector geometries. Initial ejectors that have been fabricated are 72-in.-long-constant-diameter tubes (4-, 5-, and 6-in.-diameter) instrumented with high-frequency pressure transducers. The assembly has been designed such that the detonation tube exit can be positioned at various locations within the ejector tube. PDE-ejector system experiments with gaseous ethylene/ nitrogen/oxygen propellants will commence in the very near future. The program benefits from collaborations with Prof. Merkle of University of Tennessee whose PDE-ejector analysis helps guide the experiments. The present research effort will increase the TRL of PDE-ejectors from its current level of 2 to a level of 3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation was conducted to determine the jet thrust augmentation under static conditions for rectangular parallel-divergent wall ejector configurations with multiple primary nozzles. The effect of various geometrical and flow parameters were investigated in order to provide design information. Parameters investigated included the ratio of the ejector exit area to the primary nozzle area, the diffuser angle, the mixing section length, the primary nozzle position, the entrance radius, the number of primary nozzle rows, and the primary nozzle pressure ratio and temperature ratio. The test results are generalized to obtain curves relating the augmentation factor to ejector geometry and flow parameters over a wide range of ejector exit to primary nozzle area ratios. (Author).

Book excerpt: An automated thrust augmentation data acquisition facility was designed and constructed. The facility provides the capability of measuring thrust augmentation ratio and mass flow augmentation ratio. A three dimensional graphics plot of exit flow is provided for flow analysis. Tests were conducted on a 4.4 in. diameter circular ejector, with eight primary nozzles mounted symmetrically along the perimeter of the inlet. A fixed ejector geometry was used. The ratio of mixing chamber area to diffuser exit area was 1.88. The fluid injection angle, measured from a line perpendicular to the ejector centerline, was varied and the thrust augmentation and mass flow augmentation ratios calculated. Both thrust augmentation and mass flow augmentation increased with fluid injection angle to the stall point where both decreased. Axial flow symmetry of primary air was found to affect stall along diffuser walls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A procedure for analyzing thrust augmenting ejectors having a short, curved-wall diffuser is presented. In this type of diffuser a shear flow is admitted at the inlet and a set of auxiliary ejectors is used to provide the necessary boundary layer control. Several computer programs are used in the analytical procedure. These computer programs are either outlined or referenced in the open literature. A user's manual is provided in the Appendices of this report. A discussion of the geometries and performances, including thrust augmentation ratios, of two sample ejectors determined by use of this analytical procedure with mixing chamber contraction as an optimization parameter is presented. Use of the mixing chamber length as an optimization parameter is also discussed. (Author).

Book excerpt: Experimental studies were conducted to investigate the flow and the performance of thrust augmenting ejectors for flight mach numbers in the range of 0.5 to 0.8, primary air stagnation pressures up to 107 psig (738 kPa), and primary air stagnation temperatures up to 1250 F (677 C). The experiment verified the existence of the second solution ejector flow, where the flow after complete mixing is supersonic. Thrust augmentation in excess of 1.2 was demonstrated for both hot and cold primary jets. The experimental ejector performed better than the corresponding theoretical optimal first solution ejector, where the mixed flow is subsonic. Further studies are required to realize the full potential of the second solution ejector. Keywords: Thrust augmentation; Jet mixing flow; Supersonic flow; Subsonic flight; Transonic flight. (EDC).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A short rectangular ejector and two circular ejectors were tested to determine the effects of primary nozzle configuration and geometry on thrust augmentation. The primary nozzle configurations consisted primarily of slot nozzles which injected fluid parallel to the diffuser walls and achieved Coanda type flow at the throat. Results of the rectangular ejector tests indicate that thin plates installed in the mixing chamber or the diffuser, increase mixing but decrease thrust augmentation. A continuous slot nozzle, modified to create four discrete jets at the inlet, improved mixing and thrust augmentation compared to the original design. Thrust augmentation ratio increased from 1.4 to 1.58. The circular ejector primary nozzles consisted of a continuous slot 'torus' nozzle and individual slot nozzles which could be symmetrically placed around the inlet periphery. A nozzle configuration using 16 slot nozzles on the periphery of the inlet face gave the best performance. A thrust augmentation ratio of 2.0 was achieved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ejector is basically a jet pump in which the kinetic energy of the jet is made to impart motion to the fluid surrounding it. During this process, in a well design system, the ejector as a whole experiences a thrust much higher than that of the jet alone. In principle, an ejector is nothing but a jet surrounded by a shroud. This investigation concerns the performance of a two- dimensional ejector with its primary jet excited by a novel method. A constant area duct was used in this experiment. The velocity of the jet at the exit was subsonic. Maximum thrust was obtained when the ejector to jet exit area ratio was about 35. Under this condition a thrust augmentation ratio of 1.65 was achieved, with the jet excited at 20 Hz, whereas without excitation it was only 1.40. The mixing characteristics of the jet under excitation was examined using flow visualization techniques. Smoke filaments illuminated by a sheet of powerful light and schlieren optics with the jet heated were used. Excitation of the jet was found to generate large vortex-like flow structures which might be responsible for enhanced mixing. These vortices extended to considerable distances on both sides of the jet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of theoretical assessment of two stage thrust augmenting ejectors are presented and compared with those of single stage ejectors. The mixing ducts were of constant cross sectional area, the flows at the inlet and exit planes of each stage were assumed to be uniform, and friction effects were ignored. It was found that staging the ejector increases thrust augmentation at all primary jet stagnation pressures, but is more effective in the low pressure range and with high ejector area ratios for any gas combination. With a Hot Rocket-Air combination, the benefit of staging is much less than with an unheated Air-Air combination, and does not appear to be of practical use.

This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation is described in which a simple speaker-driven jet was used as a pulsed thrust source (driver) for an ejector configuration. The objectives of the investigation were twofold: first, to add to the experimental body of evidence showing that an unsteady thrust source, combined with a properly sized ejector generally yields higher thrust augmentation values than a similarly sized, steady driver of equivalent thrust. Second, to identify characteristics of the unsteady driver that may be useful for sizing ejectors, and predicting what thrust augmentation values may be achieved. The speaker-driven jet provided a convenient source for the investigation because it is entirely unsteady (having no mean component) and because relevant parameters such as frequency, time-averaged thrust, and diameter are easily variable. The experimental setup will be described, as will the various measurements made. These include both thrust and Digital Particle Imaging Velocimetry of the driver. It will be shown that thrust augmentation values as high as 1.8 were obtained, that the diameter of the best ejector scaled with the dimensions of the emitted vortex, and that the so-called Formation Number serves as a useful dimensionless number by which to characterize the jet and predict performance.
