#upbcampus Check out our – Smart and Autonomous Systems Lab, coordinated by Prof. Grigore Cican – latest research on the influence of an ejector nozzle on the performance and transient behavior of a micro turbojet engine. This study investigates how an ejector impacts thrust, fuel efficiency, and engine stability during startup, rapid acceleration, and deceleration. Using experimental testing on a JetCat P80 micro engine with and without an ejector at two ambient temperatures (11 °C and 22 °C), the research measured thrust, fuel flow, airflow rate, compressor pressure ratio, and combustion chamber temperature.
