The engineering prediction method of ramjet performance was developed
and an integration algorithm oriented model of integrated liquid fuel ramjet was established
which was compatible with group contribution method. The velocity-altitude characteristic
altitude-throttle characteristic
throttle-velocity characteristic and angle of attack characteristic of the specific impulse
thrust coefficient and fuel mass flow rate of the ramjet at angles of attack 0°~6°
altitude 0~18km
Mach number 2.0~3.5 and excess air coefficient 1.0~2.9 were analyzed. Results showed that
the model can predict the performance of ramjet engine without depending on the test data under the condition of integrated algorithm and within the allowable range of group contribution method. The relative error between the calculated results and the technical reference values was less than 14%. Thrust coefficient and specific impulse had basically the same velocity-altitude characteristics and similar altitude-throttle characteristics. The difference between throttle-velocity characteristics of thrust coefficient and specific impulse were obvious under the influence of gas composition.Different from the change of specific impulse and thrust coefficient showing a slowing trend after entering the stratosphere
fuel mass flow rate showed continuity.The higher the velocity
the lower the altitude and the smaller the excess air coefficient was
the higher the fuel mass flow rate was
and vice versa.Taking the angle of attack into account
the larger the angle of attack was
the lower the specific impulse
thrust coefficient and the higher the inlet start Mach number was.The angle of attack-start Mach number curve was approximately linear in a small range
and the non-linearity was intensified when the angle of attack exceeded 5.6°.
