Scramjet Combustion: Fundamentals and Advances provides an overview of the basic structure, components, working cycle, and governing equations of scramjet engine technology. Particular attention is paid to efficient air-fuel combustion, looking at both the underlying fundamentals of combustion as well strategies for obtaining optimum combustion efficiency. Methods for reaching the chemically-correct air-fuel ratio, subsequent flame, and combustion stabilization as air enters at supersonic speed are also outlined. Cutting-edge advances in design modifications of scramjet combustors, different fuel injection strategies, as well as current and anticipated challenges are highlighted as well. Outlines the fundamentals of scramjet engines including their basic structure and components, working cycle, governing equations, combustion mixing process, and more Presents new design modifications of scramjet combustors and different fuel injection strategies Discusses core topics such as chemical kinetics in supersonic flow, fuel-air mixing methods, strategies for combating combustion difficulties, and others that can be applied to aircraft beyond just scramjets INDICE: 1.
