Abstract:
In the present study, design and manufacturing of a connected pipe liquid fuel ramjet test platform is implemented for performance investigation of a research liquid fuel ramjet burner in the thermodynamic flight conditions. Design and manufacturing of platform systems include: the hot air supply system, the liquid fuel system and the square cross-sectional combustion chamber with the v-gutter shape flame holder. In order to determine the performance range of subsystems, calibration process has been carried out. Calibration process of the hot air supply system includes: determining of the burner inlet velocity and temperature. Also, calibration of the liquid fuel system includes: determining of the flow rate of fuel pump and its performance range, and also the flow rate of the injector and its spray angles in various pressure. The geometry of the flame at different equivalence ratios, with the liquid fuel such as ethanol and gasoline, has been studied by means of photography and results have been compared with analytical solutions.Then, the subsystems functional diagrams and simulation ranges within the flight envelope, has been determined
