Abstract | Wind tunnel facilities are required to support the development of the scramjet engine. The performance of a short duration wind tunnel which uses the thermal decomposition of nitrous oxide to augment the flow stagnation enthalpy is simulated in the present work. In its normal model of operation, the wind tunnel being considered uses a free piston compression process to compress the test gas to a moderate stagnation temperature and pressure, suitable for cold flow hypersonic aerodynamics experiments. However, by introducing a mixture of nitrous oxide and nitrogen ahead of the piston, it should be possible to provide a test gas which closely |
