Abstract

See full text

In order to evaluate the condensation amount in a jet engine intake duct, for calibrating the engine, apparatus are provided which induce a high speed flow of air through a duct. The duct is designed so that the air velocity within it very gradually increases along it until a choked (sonic) condition is reached. At or around sonic conditions static pressure is very responsive to changes in flow due to condensation. Thus by first obtaining a pressure profile along the duct under non-condensing conditions and then comparing this with a pressure profile under condensing conditions a condensation amount can be computed.
