Major criteria for geometric design of components in propulsion systems, focusing on unwanted entropy generation, pressure loss, and classification of irreversibilities. Discusses internal and external irreversibilities, heat loss, incomplete combustion, and control of additional drag. Examines geometry and performance of subsonic intakes, normal shock diffusers, external compression inlets, and variable geometry inlets.

Classification of Irreversibilities • Internal Irreversibilities : Friction, flow separation & Turbulence • External Irreversibilities: Shocks, Friction, flow separation & Turbulence • Heat loss & incomplete combustion
External Flow Irreversibilities in Subsonic Intakes SupercriticalDesign
Normal Shock Intakes A sharp lipped subsonic diffuser may be used in supersonic engine without a significant aerodynamic penalty for Mac < 1.6.
Selection of Subsonic Diffuser with NS The total pressure recovery of a normal shock rapidly deteriorates beyond Mach ~ 1.6. 90% total pressure recovery is achieved at 1.6.
External Compression Inlets M>1 Oblique Shock Normal Shock Cowl Shock A single compression ram inlet involves one oblique shock and one normal shock.
Location of Oblique shock & External Drag No Slippage but High External drag Slippage with low External drag
