COMBUSTION PROCESS
The central problem of the design of supersonic
combustor is the achieving of combustion in a
short residence time with minimum stagnation
ressure loss.
Short residence time & minimum stagnation
pressure loss are relevant for any combustor,
supersonic combustor are in special in demandingshort residence time since, the combustor would
be too long with high speed flow.

Solid rockets are not included since, theresidence time is much larger than reaction time.
This because, the chamber holds the propellant
inside with its port that has a larger free volume
near the propellant surface.
Scramjet, the flight will high altitude & therefore,the atm pressure will be b/w 0.025-0.006 atm &
rise in static pressure through external & internalcompression process will be 0.5-1.5atm.

The essential difference is that one cannot affordto place larger blockages in the flow since, thestagnation pressure loss will be substantial.
The suggestion arising out of this study is that the
shocks from surfaces ahead of the fuel injectionzone.
If a shock intersects a hydrogen jet flowing into
high speed streams, additional vorticity caused atinterface b/w the fuel & air leads to bettermixing.

If the combustion chamber is sufficiently long
so that air & fuel become fully mixed, then the

In general, there will be change in the avg
pressure of fuel-air mixture, which will
depend not only on the momentum &energy, fuel injection.

When injecting the fuel, first aim clearly is to mixthe fuel& air, &this can be achieved by eitherdiffusion process or penetrating mechanism.
If diffusion process is used, the combustion,combustion chamber skin-friction losses maysignificant.
To use the penetration mechanism usually results
in a shorter combustion chamber. Fuel enters the free stream either sonically or
supersonically.

WALL INJECTION
Wall injection-injection from a downstream-facing step in the combustion chamber wall.
Wall injection will be classed as one that uses a
purely diffusion process to obtain mixing.Some of the advantage over central injection:
-It provides film cooling to the combustionchamber walls.
-Free stream pressure losses are reduced.
-There is no central stut.

Obviously, the main difference b/w wall-and central-injection systems is that wall injected close to a cold wall,whereas centrally injected fuel is injected into the middleof the free stream.
Clearly, one disadvantages of the wall-injection systems
diffusion boundary whereas centrally injected fuel has two.
This would account for a possible slowing down ofcombustion but would not account for its completesuppression.
The presence of the cold wall adversely affects the diffusion& burning of the fuel.

Morgan et al postulated that the cold wall reduces thetemperature of the fuel-air mixture close to the wall,which is not a problem with central injection.
In the case of wall injection, the majority of the fuel.reach its self ignition temperature.
To enhance the mixing process when using wallinjection, placed a number of mixing wedges
downstream of the injector.

PORT INJECTION
Port injection-injection from a hole or holes in thecombustion chamber wall.
Port injection uses a purely penetration
mechanisms. Scramjet port injection would appear to be a
reasonable option for delivery of fuel to air.
If the dynamic pressure is sufficiently highcompared with that of the free stream will beachieved from a port in the side of the combustionchamber.

The penetration can be relatively insensitiveto the injection angle is greater than 15 deg.
Hence, fuel need not be injecteder endicular to the wall but can be in ected
at to the flow, so that component of the fuelmomentum is directed downstream, whichwill add to the thrust.
Fuel was injected sonically or supersonicallyfrom hole that dia of 3.5to7mm.

Some experiments a large number of small
holes were used as an injection system, and a
distinct lack of mixing was observed.

was observed.

IGNITION
A supersonic combustion ramjet engine whichis a leading candidate for the propulsionsystem of future hypersonic vehicles, requires
technologies to secure reliable ignition andstable flame holding in supersonic airflow.
At low flight Mach numbers in particular,some types of forced ignition systems are
necessary because the total enthalpy ofairflow is insufficient to induce autoignition.

the torch consists of a copper anode and ahafnium tipped cathode, isolated from eachother by a 4 micrometer gap.
Nitrogen feedstock gas is fed through this gapinto the combustion chamber.
When sufficient voltage is placed across thetorch, dielectric breakdown occurs within the
nitrogen and plasma is formed. Injection of the plasma into the fuel-air mixture is
a robust means of ignition and flame-holding.

When the hydrogen jet is injected into the lowerstream of the plasma torch, the combustion efficiencyis reduced with the increase of the interval betweenthe plasma torch and the hydrogen jet.
, ,the recirculation zone, which causes a significantincrease of combustion efficiency, is observed.
On the other hand, when the hydrogen jet is injected
into the upper stream of the plasma torch, a largerinterval generally results in larger combustionefficiency.

is complex with a no of carbon & hydrogen
atoms, the reaction process with kerosene is

This is because the no of bonds to be broken
