Shock Waves Analysis of the Novel Intake Design System for a Scramjet Propulsion
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: The supersonic combustion scramjet in the inlet applies the shock waves compression mechanism to substitute the actual compressor from a gas turbine engine. The scramjet works with combustion of fuel through the air stream in supersonic condition at least with Mach 5. Novel design of a scramjet intake system was made with variations in the angle of the fins and entrance width. The best combination of diameter and inclination angle was 1.75 m and 15 degrees, respectively. The findings were able to increase the oblique shock wave interactions and supplicate effective combustion and reduce pressure losses for the effective application of scramjet system.
