Résumé du livre
A high-pressure-ratio axial-flow turbojet engine was operated in the Lewis altitude tunnel to determine the effect of inlet-duct length on engine operation. Data were obtained with a short bellmouth inlet and with a 20-foot duct section of uniform diameter between the inlet and the compressor. Both steady-state and transient data were obtained in an effort to determine any differences in engine characteristics attributable to inlet-duct length.
