This paper describes a detailed experimental study of Mach number centerline characteristics of unheated and heated freejets. The jet characteristics were obtained at a range of jet Mach numbers from 0.1 to 0.9 and jet total temperatures up to 900 K. Previously published results showed that the jet total temperature significantly affects the nozzle-exit, boundary-layer characteristics. The results of this study indicate that a strong correlation exists between nozzle-exit, boundary-layer conditions and freejet development. It is clear from this investigation that experimental data on freejet development cannot be meaningfully compared from one facility to another without specific knowledge of nozzle-exit, boundary-layer conditions. It was concluded that direct effect of the jet operating conditions (elevated flow temperature) on freejet development is much less important than the indirect effect due to changed nozzle-exit, boundary-layer characteristics.
