National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Propulsion System Flow Stability Program (Dynamic). Part XII. Unsteady Combustion in Duct Burners and Afterburners.

AD852024

Publication Date	1968
Personal Author	Dix, D. M.; Duffield, P. L.; Smith, J. E.
Page Count	234
Abstract	An analytical model of combustion instability in afterburners and duct burners has been formulated which incorporates in a readily identifiable way the significant loss and gain processes associated with oscillatory combustion. The dominant loss mechanisms, as revealed by a literature survey and subsequent assessment, are those due to convection and radiation from the nozzle and absorption by acoustic liners. The gain mechanisms have been incorporated in a general way which permits physical interpretation; those mechanisms considered to be of most importance in aircraft burners are those associated with fuel vaporization and turbulent transport processes. The analytical model is also capable of treating approximately the significant nonlinear aspects of combustion instability associated with the dependencies of the major losses and gains on oscillation amplitude. The total mathematical requirements to obtain numerical results are the solution of transcendental algebraic equations and the evaluation of definite integrals. An application of the model to a known experimental situation yielded results which were qualitatively correct and quantatively of the correct order of magnitude. Finally, a test plan has been formulated to enable the adequacy of the analytical model to be further assessed. (Author)
