Abstract:
Performance data were taken for a small turbojet engine which is made up of a turbo supercharger and a catalytic combustor, which were originally intended for automotive use. The design employed the catalyst to promote a hydrogen reaction in air to power the rotating machinery. Several turbine housings each used with various nozzles were run on the engine to produce performance data. Using a turbine inlet temperature limit of 1800F and a rotating speed limit of 120,000 RPM, a maximum thrust of 34 lb. was recorded. Stable engine operation was observed in most configurations. Performance compared well with theoretical data supplied by the CARPET computer program. Author
