Turbojet Thrust Augmentation by Evaporation of Water Prior to Mechanical Compression as Determined by Use of Psychrometric Chart

Résumé du livre

The thrust augmentation of turbojet engines resulting from evaporation of water prior to mechanical compression was investigated over a range of flight conditions. A psychrometric chart having total pressure as a variable is presented. Engine performance was determined by means of generalized performance analysis that permits evaluation of performance over a range of altitudes and flight Mach numbers from data obtained at sea-level, zero Mach number conditions.
