Abstract:
Experiments on the organization of the combustion of kerosene in high-enthalpy supersonic air streams is analyzed. The use of promotor additives, as well as improvements in the atomization process, vaporization, and mixing, do not always facilitate efficient combustion development. The existence of a conversion process is found to have a significant effect on the ignition parameters. The burnup intensity can be ensured by adding hydrogen, and the relative position of the fuel injectors is important in that case. The fundamental role of wave structures in determining the length of the combustion zone in the channel is noted. The integral characteristics of combustion for hydrogen and kerosene are compared.
