Résumé du livre
A theoretical evaluation of performance of turbine propeller engines with augmentation by water injection, tail-pipe burning, and their combination was made. The investigation cover the flight conditions for which each method of augmentation was most suitable for Mach numbers up to 1.1 and altitudes up to 35,000 feet. The variation in augmentation with varying compressor and turbine efficiencies, compressor pressure ratio, and turbine-inlet temperature was calculated. The augmentation with varying ambient temperature and relative humidity was determined and the dependence of the augmentation on the completeness of evaporation during compression was investigated.
