Jet diffuser for simulating ram conditions on a turbojet-engine static test standA jet diffuser for simulating flight or ram conditions on a turbojet-engine static test stand was designed and investigated. The diffuser utilizes the kinetic energy of the jet from a turbojet engine to reduce the discharge pressure at the exhaust nozzle and thereby provides simulated ram-pressure ratios across the engine. The engine exhaust nozzle discharges into an exhaust chamber (flexibly sealed to the tail pipe), which is connected to a diffuser by a bell-shaped nozzle. The pressure in the exhaust chamber is controlled independently of engine speed by a variable-area shutter at the diffuser discharge. The jet diffuser simulated ram-pressure ratios from 0.95 to 2.2 at various simulated pressure altitudes for a range of engine speeds from 85 to 100 percent of maximum rpm. Agreement of data obtained with and without the jet diffuser for a ram-pressure ratio of 1.0 indicated that the presence of the diffuser did not interfere with the flow through the engine exhaust-nozzle outlet.
