Abstract:
The importance of fuel mixing for the progress of the scramjet engine is indisputable. The present article shows the importance of the non-equal multi-injector system for effective fuel distribution and flame holding inside the combustion segment of a scramjet engine. The supersonic air and fuel jet flow in the non-equal nozzle arrangement is simulated via computational fluid dynamic technique. Two injector types of circular and rectangular nozzle have been analyzed to attain flow characteristics of hydrogen jets at supersonic cross flow. Mach contour is also analyzed for these jet arrangements to show the interface of the jet in the non-equal jet arrangement. Besides, addition of internal air jet is also simulated and evaluated in this research. Our investigation shows that the diffusion height of the fuel jet is higher when a rectangular non-equal nozzle is applied. The circular nozzle is more active in the spreading of the fuel in the combustor and the use of an internal air jet effectively increases fuel in a combustor of the scramjet.
