Practical measurements of ramjet engine

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the practical measurements and design considerations for a ramjet engine. Participants explore the need for technical data, blueprints, and formulas necessary for replicating or designing a ramjet engine, with a focus on CAD modeling.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant emphasizes that designing ramjets requires extensive technical knowledge and questions how testing would be conducted after building one.
  • Another participant seeks clarification on the specific measurements needed for the ramjet engine design.
  • Concerns are raised about the feasibility of taking measurements for components that are still in the design phase.
  • A participant suggests that the original poster (OP) is looking for blueprints and technical data to aid in their project.
  • The OP clarifies their intention to replicate a ramjet engine in CAD and expresses the need for more detailed information, including formulas for sizing components.
  • Blueprints are noted to typically indicate the scale at which they are drawn.
  • Several links to resources and images related to ramjet engines are shared by participants.
  • One participant expresses gratitude for the insights gained from shared resources.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the specific measurements or resources needed for the ramjet engine design, and multiple viewpoints regarding the design process and available information remain present.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the assumptions about the availability of technical data and the specifics of the measurements required, which remain unresolved.

Hello everyone
I am trying to design a ramjet engine. For that I need measurements of its parts. Does anyone know how to calculate them or have a link to a website where I could find more information?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
(1) Designing ramjets requires extensive technical knowledge .

(2) If you did manage to design and build one how would you ever test it ?
 
What kind of measurements are you looking for exactly? My guess is you can find pretty much any measurement device you need via a simple internet search...
 
How will you take measurements of parts of something that is in currently in design?
 
As I understand the question op wants blueprints and technical data for purpose of building one .
 
Odd use of the term 'design' then...
 
Yes, my bad. I didn't meant that I want to create something new. At the moment I am trying to replicate (that's probably the word) ramjet in CAD. I was looking on the internet for images, sheets, blueprints and I did found some. However, there are no formulas for sizes and all I could do was to create core of engine just from eye. So I want to know if here is anyone who has experience in jet engines theory and could give more info, like websites, books or anything interesting.
 
Blueprints always say on them what scale they are drawn to.

One of the visit page links in first link above leads here :

Be sure not to miss it - especially the pages near the end about ram jets .
