FIG. 3 illustrates an ejector apparatus embodiment 30 having the features of this invention combined with supporting structure referenced generally as 31. In addition to a different throat section planform, those FIG. 3 (and FIG. 4) elements of the embodiment which differ significantly from FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 in detail are as follows:
32; straight-line center injector; has characteristics, except for principal planform configuration, of center injector 17; directs primary flow fluid in the operating position for downward projection essentially along the ejector diffuser section flow axis;
33; slot opening; in center injector 32 and similar in all other characteristics, excepting an elongated planform configuration, to the nozzle opening 18 described in connection with ejector embodiment 10;
34 and 35; straight-line Coanda injector; each of construction and form characteristics similar, except as to planform configuration, to Coanda injector 19 of the FIGS. 1 and 2 arrangement; comprised of a slotted. duct-like straight-line Coanda injector; each projects part of the primary flow fluid (approximately one-half of the typical 30 to percent proportion of total primary flow) from source 11 into the ejector inlet and throat section regions for downward projection essentially along the ejector diffuser section interior wall surfaces and for mixing;
36 and 37; Coanda slot opening; straight-line openings in injectors 34 and 35 and otherwise similar in characteristics and function to slot opening 20.
Another embodiment of the instant invention is generally similar to embodiment 30 but is not shown in the drawings. Such additional embodiment differs from the FIGS. 3 and 4 arrangement in that it includes two center injector assemblies 32 positioned intermediate injectors 34 and 35 and in spaced-apart relation relative to each other. By this alternate arrangement a proportionately greater center injection of primary flow fluid can be developed.
FIG. 5 provides quantitative information regarding the performance capabilities and characteristics of the instant invention. Curves 41 and 42 indicate the magnitude of thrust augmentation obtained with the instant invention at L/D ratios of 2.5 and 2, respectively. Although the instant invention is important with respect to ejectors having a L/D ratio of 2.5 or less, it is particularly significant with respect to ejector apparatus having a ratio (L/D) in the range of approximately 1 to 2. In the case of curve 41, which is in part based on actual test data and in part on theoretical projection, the test embodiment of the compound ejector was operated with a divergence half-angle (a) of Curve 42, on the other hand, involved a divergence half-angle of 12.
The performance of the ejector of this invention, as manifested by curves 41 and 42, also is compared in FIG. 5 to the performance of conventional ejectors of comparable design and operating parameters having only Coanda injection (curves 43 through 45) at 6 half-angle divergence or only conventional center injection (curve 46) at 7.5". It is apparent from curves 43 through 46 that for comparable ratios of ejector throat area to primary slot area, significantly improved thrust augmentation ratios are obtained with the present invention. Shorter design lengths (L) are achieved by practice of the invention as a result of permitting utilization of high divergence half-angles (a) with improved diffuser wall boundary layer control.
In considering the foregoing described invention, careful distinction must be made between introducing primary flow fluid into the ejector system by means of a Coanda slot opening in comparison to introducing such primary flow fluid into the ejector by tangential g the ejector diffuser wall as a function of diffuser divergence angle established that in a case of distinct wall separation at a 6 half-angle with center injection only, no separation was observed with the additional introduction of Coanda slot injection as described in connection with this invention.
Also, opposed Coanda slot opening injection is considered to efficiently turn high pressure ratio (e.g. 3.5 to 4) fluid flows over a relatively small arc. From the standpoint of effecting Coanda flow turning without separation, the ratio of vane radius or turn curvature adjacent the slot opening to slot height is important and fortunately is not considered highly critical. With a small radius to a slot-height ratio (approximately 5), flow detachment from the ejector wall becomes apparent at a pressure ratio of about 1.8 and is based on observed detachment after about 50 of turning. Increasing the ratio of surface turning radius to slot-height functions to improve the obtained thrust augmentation ratio particularly when at values in the range of approximately 10 to 15.
