CFD Analysis of Scramjet Engine Combustion Chamber with Diamond-Shaped Strut Injector at Flight Mach 4.5

Abstract

The present work address the CFD analysis for scramjet combustor with diamond-shaped strut injectors at supersonic Mach 4.5 and it’s based on species transport combustor which is standard k-epsilon turbulence model. It is implied for supersonic combustion that the ramjet engine is focused for operating high speed engines. The combustion chamber assists as an envelope to clutch the propellant for a satisfactory period to certify complete mixing as well as combustion. The diamond-shaped strut injector gives the maximum temperature and pressure of 3517 K and 1.487 MPa respectively whereas the combustion efficiency is found to be 87.2%. The shear layers losses are extremely minimize the performance of the engine, thus interpreting trade-off programmes in a very difficult way to achieve maximum combustion efficiency. Further firmness by machines is essential for achieving higher combustion efficiency.
