Abstract

Theme ACONTROLLED Flow (CONFLOW) facility is being built to test air-breathing propulsion systems and airframes in simulated flight missions using full-scale hardware. CONFLOW provides reconstituted air to the subsonic duct of a combustor to represent flight variations of flow, total temperature, and pressure. Stored oxygen, nitrogen, and butane are reacted to produce the desired temperature and composition. A series of pressure reductions with combustion in an air generator with nozzle delivers controlled flow to the ramjet combustor. This Synoptic describes the system and its development through the use of analog simulation to achieve necessary flow
