ME2351 GAS DYNAMICS AND JET PROPULSION UNIT-1 BASIC CONCEPTS AND ISENTROPIC FLOWS 1.1. Concept of Gas Dynamics Gas dynamics mainly concerned with the motion of gases and its effects .It differ from fluid dynamics .Gas dynamics considers thermal or chemical effects while fluid dynamics usually does not. Gas dynamics deals with the study of compressible flow when it is in motion. It analyses the high speed flows of gases and vapors’ with considering its compressibility. The term gas dynamics is very general and alternative names have been suggested e.g.: Supersonic flow, compressible flow and aero thermodynamics etc., 1.1.1 Significance with Applications: Gas dynamics is of interest to both mechanical and the aeronautical engineers but particular field of interest of the two different .It may be said that thermodynamicist is concerned with how an object in motion influenced as it flies through still air. In contrast to it the thermodynamicist in more interested in the cases in which the object in stationary and the fluid is in motion .The applications of gas dynamics are given below. It is used in Steam and Gas turbines High speed aero dynamics Jet and Rocket propulsion High speed turbo compressor The fluid dynamics of compressible flow problems which involves the relation between forse, density, velocity and mass etc.Therfore the following laws are frequently used for solving the dynamic problems. 1. Steady flow energy equation 2. Entropy relations 3. Continity equation 4. Momentum equation 1.2 Compressible Flows – Compressible flow - Density changes SCE Department of Mechanical Engineering 1 ME2351 GAS DYNAMICS AND JET PROPULSION We know that fluids, such as gas, are classified as Incompressible and Compressible fluids. Incompressible fluids do not undergo significant changes in density as they flow. In general, liquids are incompressible; water being an excellent example. In contrast compressible fluids do undergo density changes. Gases are generally compressible; air being the most common compressible fluid we can find. Compressibility of gases leads to many interesting features such as shocks, which are absent for incompressible fluids. Gas dynamics is the discipline that studies the flow of compressible fluids and forms an important branch of Fluid Mechanics.

    UOT Mechanical Department / Aeronautical Branch Gas Dynamics Chapter Sixteen / Plug, Underexpanded and Overexpanded Supersonic Nozzles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter Sixteen / Plug, Underexpanded and Overexpanded Supersonic Nozzles 16.1 Exit Flow for Underexpanded and Overexpanded Supersonic Nozzles The variation in flow patterns inside the nozzle obtained by changing the back pressure, with a constant reservoir pressure, was discussed early. It was shown that, over a certain range of back pressures, the flow was unable to adjust to the prescribed back pressure inside the nozzle, but rather adjusted externally in the form of compression waves or expansion waves. We can now discuss in detail the wave pattern occurring at the exit of an underexpanded or overexpanded nozzle. Consider first, flow at the exit plane of an underexpanded, two-dimensional nozzle (see Figure 16.1). Since the expansion inside the nozzle was insufficient to reach the back pressure, expansion fans form at the nozzle exit plane. As is shown in Figure (16.1), flow at the exit plane is assumed to be uniform and parallel, with . For this case, from symmetry, there can be no flow across the centerline of the jet. Thus the boundary conditions along the centerline are the same as those at a plane wall in nonviscous flow, and the normal velocity component must be equal to zero. The pressure is reduced to the prescribed value of back pressure in region 2 by the expansion fans. However, the flow in region 2 is turned away from the exhaust-jet centerline. To maintain the zero normal-velocity components along the centerline, the flow must be turned back toward the horizontal.

  • Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 Introduction "For some years I have been afflicted with the belief that flight is possible to man." Wilbur Wright, May 13, 1900 1.1 ATMOSPHERIC FLIGHT MECHANICS Atmospheric flight mechanics is a broad heading that encompasses three major disciplines; namely, performance, flight dynamics, and aeroelasticity. In the past each of these subjects was treated independently of the others. However, because of the structural flexibility of modern airplanes, the interplay among the disciplines no longer can be ignored. For example, if the flight loads cause significant structural deformation of the aircraft, one can expect changes in the airplane's aerodynamic and stability characteristics that will influence its performance and dynamic behavior. Airplane performance deals with the determination of performance character- istics such as range, endurance, rate of climb, and takeoff and landing distance as well as flight path optimization. To evaluate these performance characteristics, one normally treats the airplane as a point mass acted on by gravity, lift, drag, and thrust. The accuracy of the performance calculations depends on how accurately the lift, drag, and thrust can be determined. Flight dynamics is concerned with the motion of an airplane due to internally or externally generated disturbances. We particularly are interested in the vehicle's stability and control capabilities. To describe adequately the rigid-body motion of an airplane one needs to consider the complete equations of motion with six degrees of freedom. Again, this will require accurate estimates of the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the airplane. The final subject included under the heading of atmospheric flight mechanics is aeroelasticity.

Wait, M.S. Systems Engineer, Tyvak Nano-Satelite Systems LLC iii ABSTRACT Cold Flow Performance of a Ramjet Engine Harrison G. Sykes The design process and construction of the initial modular ramjet attachment to the Cal Poly supersonic wind tunnel is presented. The design of a modular inlet, combustor, and nozzle are studied in depth with the intentions of testing in the modular ramjet. The efforts undertaken to characterize the Cal Poly supersonic wind tunnel and the individual component testing of this attachment are also discussed. The data gathered will be used as a base model for future expansion of the ramjet facility and eventual hot fire testing of the initial components. Modularity of the inlet, combustion chamber, and nozzle will allow for easier modification of the initial design and the designs ability to incorporate clear walls will allow for flow and combustion visualization once the performance of the hot flow ramjet is determined. The testing of the blank ramjet duct resulted in an error of less than 10% from predicted results.
