Abstract

An experimental research on supersonic combustion of kerosene in a model scramjet combustor has been conducted. Kerosene was injected normally into a Mach 2 vitiated airstream either at an atomized liquid state or at a gaseous state. The atomization of kerosene was achieved by the “effervescent atomization” method, and the gaseous kerosene was supplied by passing kerosene inside a heated pipe. The results are discussed and are also compared to those in our previous experiment, in which no atomization nor vaporization methods has been conducted to the kerosene.
