<strong>PHYSICAL</strong> <strong>EFFECT</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>VITIATI<strong>ON</strong></strong> <strong>ON</strong> <strong>SCRAMJET</strong> DESIGN<br />

Some species computed are reported in figures 16-17, beginning with water:<br />

mass fraction of H2O<br />

H2O-cas4<br />

The equilibrium computations logically lead to 1% of NO in the hot gases, in the zone of the maximum<br />

static temperature (see figure 17):<br />

The angles of the shock and the expansion fans could be slightly different in pure and vitiated flow, as it<br />

can be derived from the specific heat ratio shown on Figure 18 ; 2D or 3D computations could provide<br />

interesting data but they are outside the scope of the present RTO subgroup task.<br />
