Altitude-chamber Performance of British Roll-royce Nene II Engine IV : Effect of Operational Variables on Temperature Distribution at Combustion-chamber Outlets
Temperature surveys were made at the combustion-chamber outlets of a British Rolls-Royce Nene II engine. The highest mean nozzle-vane and mean gas temperatures were found to occur at a radius approximately 75% of the nozzle-vane length from the inner ring of the nozzle-vane assembly. Variations in engine speed, jet-nozzle area, simulated altitude, and simulated flight speed altered the temperature level but did not materially affect the pattern of radial temperature distribution
Ideal Temperature Rise Due to Constant-pressure Combustion of a JP-4 Fuel
The ideal temperature rise due to the constant-pressure combustion of a methylene (CH sub 2) fuel was calculated. CH sub 2 fuel closely approximates MIL-F-5624 grade JP-4 fuel presently used in most turbojet and ram-jet engines. Charts are presented from which the ideal temperature rise or the ideal quantity of fuel required to obtain a specified combustion temperature may be obtained for any flight condition likely to be encountered with turbojet or ram-jet engines using this fuel. The charts are applicable only to a fuel having a hydrogen-carbon mass ratio of 0.168. They include a range of fuel-air ratios from 0 to 1.2 fraction of stoichiometric fuel-air ratio with dissociation taken into account, inlet-air temperatures from 400 degrees to 1600 degrees R, and combustion pressures from 1/16 to 64 atmospheres. The use of the charts is illustrated by several examples
