Scramjet Engines: The First Forty Years
TLDR
In this paper, a review of the evolution and maturity of SU-scramjet engines over the last 40 years is presented in terms of efforts completed or proceeding in the United States, Russia, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, and other countries.Abstract:
Ageneralreviewoftheemergenceandmaturingofsupersoniccombustionramjet (scramjet)enginetechnologies overthelast 40 years is presented. The review isgiven in terms of theeffortscompleted or proceeding in theUnited States, Russia, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, and other countries. A brief account of the challenges of scramjet combustor development is given, and attention is directed toward other source references for more detailed accounts of technology evolution. Two emerging scramjet applications are identie ed, namely, hydrogenfueledhigh-speed engines foraccess to spaceand hydrocarbon-fueled enginesforhypersonicair-launched missiles.read more

Jet fuel ignition delay times: Shock tube experiments over wide conditions and surrogate model predictions
TL;DR: In this paper, the first gas-phase shock tube ignition delay time data for JP-8 and JP-A were reported, and their results have very low scatter and are in excellent agreement with the limited previous shock tube data for Jet-A. The new experimental results were compared with predictions of several kinetic mechanisms, using different jet fuel surrogate mixtures.
