Can We Calculate Ramjet Thrust Using Combustion Mach Number and Rayleigh Flow?

AI Thread Summary
Calculating ramjet thrust involves understanding the combustion Mach number and its relationship with ambient conditions such as free stream Mach number and pressure. The thrust can be derived by analyzing the stagnation temperature ratio between the inlet and combustor exit. Incorporating the combustion Mach number is essential for accurate thrust calculations, and Rayleigh flow considerations may also play a role in the analysis. The discussion seeks additional insights or recent findings to enhance the understanding of these calculations. Overall, a comprehensive approach is necessary to effectively calculate ramjet thrust.

For a ramjet engine, combustion occurs at a finite Mach number M. If we know the ambient conditions like free stream Mach number and pressure and the ratio between the stagnation temperature at the inlet and exit of the combustor, how can we derive the thrust? How can we incorporate the combustion Mach number into calculation? Do we need to consider Rayleigh flow?

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
