The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.7 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.1 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00016 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.18 SJR: 0.313 SNIP: 0.6 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 16

ABSTRACT

This paper summarizes the main features of solid fuel ramjets (SFRJs) and scramjets based on comprehensive theoretical and experimental studies. The main accomplishments and challenges are highlighted. Solid fuel ramjets and scramjets are the simplest airbreathing engines. They can provide propulsion solutions in the supersonic and hypersonic flight speed ranges, respectively, with substantially superior energetic performance to that of rockets. This paper presents theoretical and experimental results on the characteristics and performance of solid fuel ramjets and scramjets, emphasizing their particular potential use for increased-range gun-launched projectiles. Efficient combustion in miniature (5−10 mm internal diameter) SFRJ combustors as well as self-sustained supersonic combustion in scramjet combustors is demonstrated. One of the main conclusions is once sufficient specific thrust can be obtained, the solid fuel scramjet may be the most straight-forward hypersonic airbreathing propulsion means to be implemented.
