In present study, a supersonic inlet for dual mode ramjets or RBCC/TBCC engines with a wide range of flight Mach numbers is designed. A conical variable inlet configuration is chosen for the inlet design. Geometric relations with angles of compression cones and conical shock waves are used for the design of the inlet configuration. The performance of the supersonic inlet is confirmed by the numerical analysis. The capture area ratio is maintained around 100% from Mach 3 to 8 conditions.

Considering the high temperature durability, the most important issue is to accurately predict the maximum operating temperature of the shell, mat and substrate. This temperature prediction then defines the material selections far the mat, shell and cones, and allows an assessment to be made as to the necessity of heat shielding. In this papers, The commercial code FLUENT was utilized to simulate automotive oval type catalytic converters, with the objective of predicting thermal behavior under steady-state, high-load conditions. Specialized computational models are used to account for effects of heat and mass transfer in the monolith, conjugate heat transfer in the various converter materials, and radiation heat transfer.
