Abstract

An experimental and computational study has been performed to determine the flammability limits in a solid fuel ramjet combustor using polyethylene as a fuel. lt was found that the experimentally determined flammability limits agree well with results from other investigators. The available data on flammability limits in SFRJ combustors have been extended. The COPPEF computer code may be used to obtain flammability limits, although the method used is expensive and cumbersome. A reasonable qualitative agreement with the experimental flammability limits was found. Quantitatively the agreement seems good, hut cannot be claimed due to uncertainties in the method applied.
