| Description | Report presenting an experimental investigation at zero flight speed and sea-level conditions on a 4000-pound-thrust centrifugal-flow-type turbojet engine to determine the amount of thrust augmentation obtainable at maximum rotor speed by the injection of water, alcohol, and water-alcohol mixtures at the compressor inlets. A maximum thrust augmentation of 26 percent was obtained by the injection of 4.5 pounds per second of water and 2.0 pounds per second of alcohol. Results regarding the tail-pipe gas temperature, air-flow and compressor-outlet pressure, fuel flow, specific liquid consumption, and thrust augmentation are provided. |
