Study of the combustion characteristics of endothermic fuel thermal decomposition products in a subsonic air flow

Abstract

Abstract The development of high-speed aircraft is directly related to the design of efficient cooling systems of the propulsion system. At high supersonic speeds, the aerodynamic heating of the air flow during braking is so great that the fuel becomes the only possible refrigerant on board. Currently, a large amount of research is devoted to the study of cooling systems using endothermic fuels with subsequent combustion of the products of their thermal degradation in the combustion chamber of an air-jet engine. The paper presents the results of experimental studies of products combustion of thermal destruction of aircraft endothermic fuel in a subsonic air flow.
