Combustion
  • Combustion stoichiometry
  • Ideal fuel/ air ratio
  • Recommended fuels for scramjets
  • Hydrogen - most common
  • Ethylene
  • Kerosene
  • Only oxidizer is air
  • In scramjets, combustion is often unstable
  • Equivalence ratio
  • Should range from 0.2 - 2.0 for combustion to
    occur with a useful time scale
  • Lean mixture ratio below 1.0
  • Rich mixture ratio above 1.0

mixing
Recent research Cd is a experimental constant
23
CombustionTurbulent Shear Mixing
  • Density effects on shear layer growth
    compressible flow
  • Based on constant but different densities
  • A density ratio, s, is derived
  • s can be calculated once stagnation pressure and
    stream velocities are known

24
CombustionTurbulent Shear Mixing
  • Convective velocity for the vortex structures
  • With compressible flow using isentropic
    stagnation density equation changes to

Fuel
  • Hydrogen
  • Has four times the energy of aviation fluid, less
    polluting emissions
  • Safety
  • Silane
  • SiH4 is a pyrophoric that can be added to
    hydrogen to decrease ignition delay time of the
    fuel
  • Concentrations are between 5-20 by volume
  • Useful when the combustion chamber is short or
    combustion chamber temperature is low
  • Safety Concerns is highly explosive easily
    ignites with air and 9.6k ppm is very lethal in
    just a four hour exposure
  • JP10 Fuel
  • Liquid Fuel used in First air-breathing Scramjet
