Survivability Investigation Of Cylindrical Shaped Water Cooled Probe In High Heat Flux Conditions, Joshua Osborne

Masters Theses

Diagnostics and data collection downstream of turbine engine augmentors and scramjet combustors provide critical information for turbine engine and scramjet engine developers. One important diagnostic tool is the use of imaging measurement instruments, which are primarily used by the aeropropulsion ground testing community to assess flame holder stability and uniformity in turbine engines. The survivability limitations of these imaging probes are important to understand for use in applications behind ramjet or scramjet engines, where mass flows and exhaust temperatures exceed typical engine augmentor exhaust streams. At a minimum, imaging data acquired behind ramjet and scramjet engines would be used to …
