| Test Applications | Tests for high speed gas dynamics flow characterization in gas turbine engine component. The High Speed Combustor Test Facility is first of its kind in the country to design and evaluate combustors for flight technology demonstrators in the speed range of Mach 2-7. |
|
| Test Special Features | Mach Number : 3.5 Flow Rate : 25 kg/s Pressure : 20 bar Temperature : 1700 -1950 K |
|
| Other Test Information | This facility can be utilized for the development of scramjet combustor for flight Mach number 6 - 7. The facility consists of 200 bar air compressor and storage vessels of 30 m3 capacity. The stored air at 200 bar is regulated to 20 - 25 bar by a control valve. The rig has two step kerosene combustion heaters to heat the air up to 1950 K with thermal protections and water cooling system. The uniform flow water cooled nozzle accelerates the flow to Mach 3.5 at entry to the test section. The diffuser system has been provided for diffusing the high supersonic flow to low subsonic Mach numbers. The ‘self ejection principle’ is used in this test section-diffuser system. A state of the art data acquisition and control system has been commissioned for this test rig. Application software has been developed exclusively for this facility for fully automated control / operation, data monitoring and logging. Propulsion Division - PD |
