Differential Thermal Analysis of Uranium Tetrafluoride-Uranium Dioxide Mixtures

Description: Abstract: "Approximate melting points have been determined for five samples of uranium tetrafluoride representing incompletely converted uranium dioxide and covering the range from about 2 to 20 w/o UO2, using the method of differential thermal analysis. The results indicate the melting temperatures are in the range of 920 to 980 C. No significant correlation between melting point and UO2 content was observed, possibly because of calcite formation. Similar results were obtained on synthetic mis… more

Full-scale evaluation of some flameholder design concepts for high-inlet-velocity afterburners

Description: Report presenting an investigation of a full-scale afterburner with high burner-inlet velocity to determine burner performance with several variations in burner design. A total of 12 flameholder configurations were investigated at a specified burner-inlet velocity and a range of burner-inlet pressures. Results indicated that a basic annular two-V-gutter flameholder can operate at 90 to 95 percent combustion efficiency for fairly optimum burner length and pressure.

Attenuation of tangential-pressure oscillations in a liquid-oxygen - n-heptane rocket engine with longitudinal fins

Description: An investigation of the use of fins to prevent high-frequency combustion-pressure oscillations (screaming) in the combustion chamber of a 1000-pound-thrust rocket engine with a chamber pressure of 300 pounds per square inch and using liquid oxygen and n-heptane as propellants. Tangential combustion-pressure oscillations were found to be eliminated with longitudinal fins located in the combustion zone. Results regarding engine performance, effect of fins, and destructiveness of screaming are pro… more
