Entropy correlation of condensation shocks in hypersonic nozzles

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Using an approximate solution [1] a two-parameter correlation is obtained between the maximal supercooling(the Wilson point) and the distribution of gasdynamic parameters in the zone of spontaneous condensation for a hypersonic flow. One parameter is the gas entropy in the injection cup, and the other is the product of the power-law stagnation temperature and the ratio of the characteristic dimension of critical section to the tangent of the nozzle half-angle.
