Optimization for Maximum Performance High-Speed Engines

Abstract

Fuel-air combustion and the generation of irreversibility in high-speed Rows are described in terms of the fundamental principles of nonaquilibrium, work availability, and entropy increases. Engine thrust is analytiilly related to the overall engine irreversibility and the degree of combustion; issues involving mixing enhancement assessment and engine optimization are then formalied and clarified. The concept of thrust-potantial, as used in engine design and optimization, is shmm to be a consistent appwcation of the principles and findings of this and related investigations.
