This paper details the influence of geometry variation such as shape transition of the isolator from its entry to exit on overall performance of scramjet isolators. The experiments are conducted to assess the performance of two isolator geometries of circle to pentagon and circle to hexagon. The pseudo shock length is obtained for the two cases by observing the sudden pressure rise in pressure plots taken along the wall. It is found that the shock train length is shorter for circular to pentagon duct compared with the other duct. Hence, this duct is preferable in order to prevent inlet non-start induced by the pressure rise in the combustion chamber.

The measurement of two-phase cryogenic fluid mixtures flow, also known as slush cryogen flow, with its most attractive form (liquid and solid) is of great interest for various applications, due to its thermodynamic advantages. This paper presents a newly developed device, under the form of a circular capacitor prototype, together with an experimental stand for slush formation. Slush nitrogen was used as testing fluid during the experimental work. Then, the experimental data for slush cryogen flow measurement using the proposed circular shape capacitor were compared with theoretical results obtained by simulation. A three-dimensional flow field model was built and solved for the innovative design slush flowmeter using a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model. Nitrogen slush density of 874 kg/m3, representing approximately 30% solid fraction, was reported for both the modeling and experimental testing, although the numerical investigation is not limited to these values. By comparing experimental vs. simulation results, a deeper view on the designed configuration can be achieved, thus improving the progress in producing high-performance next generation devices for two-phase flow measurement in terms of physical dimensions, length and space between armatures. Even so, the mathematical model has limitations when mixtures with higher percentages of solid phase and particle sizes are encountered.
