A study of temperature transients at the inlet of a turbojet engine

Report presenting wind-tunnel experiments on the effect of rapid temperature increases at the inlet of an engine in order to learn why inlet temperature transients disturb the operation of turbojet engines. The study was made over a range of altitudes, temperature-rise rates, and engine speeds. Results regarding pressure-ratio histories, required temperature rise for stall, effect of partial admission of hot gases to the compressor inlet, effect of altitude on stall and blowout, and effect of remedial measures are provided.
