CONCLUSIONS

• Pressure increases in inlet - ram efect (from sataic to total due to flight speed)
• Pressure decrease in propelling nozzle (from total to static - jet speed is produecd)
• Tepearture increase in inlet and combustor
• Temparture decrease in propeling nozzle

CONCLUSIONS

• Ram compression (in the inlet) is isentropic as decompression in the propelling nozzle. The entropy grow
is observed in combustion process only

PERFORMANCE OF IDEAL RAMJET

Example of the ideal ramjet calculation for flight speed from 0 to 3 for different Tt4;

Given

T0=217 K, P0=22 kPa, air mass flow m=20 kg/s

Calculation is done in the loop for M0=[0:0.1:5] first for Tt4=1000K and next for Tt4-1200k and Tt4=1500 K

7
Ramjet engine thrust increases to its maximum with flight speed and then decreases. For higher Tt4 thrust
is higher and reaches its maximum value for higher flight speed. Specific thrust vs flight speed relation looks
similar.

8
The fuel to air ratio goes down with flight speed. Additionally it is lower for the lower Tt4. The range of flight
speed applicability is lower when Tt4 is lower (the end of range when f reaches 0)
