Question: 

Explain the construction and working of Ram jet with the help of neat labelled schematic diagram. State its limitations (any two).

Answer: 

Ramjet – it consist of inlet difference, combustion chamber and tail pipe (exist nozzle) Ramjet has no compressor as the entire compression depends upon compression. Function of supersonic & subsonic difference to convert the kinetic called the ram pressure. Working:- The air entering into ram jet with sup sonic speed is slowed down to sonic velocity in the air pressure is further increase in the sup sonic different increasing also the temperature of air. The diffuser section is designed to get correct ram effect its into decrees the velocity & increase pressure of in cooling air. The duel injected into combustion chamber is burned with help of igniter the high tress engine temperature garb are passed through the nozzle converting into pressure energy into kind energy. The high velocity gas leaving the nozzle provide required toward thrust to ramjet. Limitation 1. Ramjet engine be launched from an air plane flight. 2. Fuel consumption is too large. The fuel consumption lower decrees flight need.
