    The document summarizes the key aspects of a ramjet engine. It discusses that a ramjet relies on forward momentum to create pressure rather than a compressor or turbine. It has a straight duct and uses continuous combustion of fuel injected into pressurized air. As air flows through the engine and nozzle, the expansion and acceleration produces forward thrust based on pressure differentials. Ramjets operate only at supersonic speeds above Mach 1 and have advantages of no moving parts but disadvantages of low fuel efficiency and only operating at high speeds. Ramjets have been used in missiles and aircraft.

    Ramjet Engine

    What is Jet Engines ?


    • A jet engine is a reaction
    engine discharging a fast-
    moving jet that
    generates thrust by jet
    propulsion.
    • The term jet engine loosely
    refers to an internal
    combustion air breathing jet
    engine.
    Air Breathing Engines

    Turbine Ram
    powered powered
    • Turbofan
    • Turboprop and turboshaft
    • Propfan
    • Ramjet
    • Turbojet • Scramjet
    ATHODYD
    • Athodyd is nothing but an AERO-THERMODYNAMIC DUCT.
    • Athodyd is a straight duct type of engine without a compressor and a turbine
    wheals.
    • The Ramjet, Scramjet and Pulse jet are the examples for athodyd engines.
    What is Ramjet ?
    • A ramjet is a jet engine that relies
    on forward momentum to create
    pressure instead of a moving
    piston or fan
    • Requires forward motion to
    produce thrust
    • Uses continuous combustion
    Main Parts of a Ramjet Engine
    Working Principle of Ramjet Engine
    • A ramjet uses this high pressure in front of the engine to force air through
    the tube, where it is heated by combusting some of it with fuel. It is then
    passed through a nozzle to accelerate it to supersonic speeds. This
    acceleration gives the ramjet forward thrust.
    How it Works
    • Incoming air is slowed to subsonic by
    cone
    • Slowed air creates pressure needed for
    combustion
    • Fuel injected into pressurized air
    • Flame ignites mixture
    • Air expands and flows through nozzle
    • Exhaust generates forward thrust
    How it Works
    • The thrust produced is based on pressure differentials at different sides of
    the plane
    • Limited by excessive temperatures and pressures at higher speeds and low
    pressure differentials at low speeds
    Advantages

    • No moving parts
    • Higher efficiencies
    • Speeds limited only by temperatures and pressures engine can handle
    Disadvantages
    • Low Fuel Efficiency
    • Caused by low compression ratios
    • High speed creates drag
    • Only operates at speeds above Mach1
    Uses
    • Ramjets and Scramjets have been used in missiles, helicopters, and the SR71
    Blackbird with varying degrees of success.
