Use of Highly Reactive Chemical Additives to Improve Afterburner Performance at Altitude

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation in an altitude test chamber to evaluate the use of highly reactive chemicals injected into a turbojet afterburner to promote the combustion process, which was inhibited by water vapor from compressor-inlet injection. The chemicals evaluated were commercial hydrogen and aluminum trimethyl. Results regarding the effects of hydrogen injection on afterburner performance and effect of aluminum trimethyl afterburner fuel additive on performance are provided.

Screaming tendency of the gaseous-hydrogen - liquid-oxygen propellant combination

Description: Report presenting an exploratory study of the screaming tendency of the gaseous-hydrogen-liquid-oxygen propellant combination in 200-pound-thrust rocket engines. Four injector classes in a total of 12 different configurations were tested in a variety of chamber lengths over the usable mixture-ratio range. Results regarding acoustic oscillations, unclassified oscillations, driving and damping mechanisms, and effects of screaming on heat transfer are provided.

Combustor performance with various hydrogen-oxygen injection methods in a 200-pound-thrust rocket engine

Description: Report presenting a determination of the characteristics velocity of liquid oxygen and gaseous hydrogen as a function of mixture ratio in a nominal 200-pound-thrust variable-length rocket engine. Fourteen injectors, which varied mixing and oxygen atomization, were investigated. The four types of injector designs included triplets of two hydrogen jets impinging on one oxygen jet, concentric injection with hydrogen surrounding a jet of oxygen, radial injection of oxygen with variations in hydroge… more

Off-Design Performance of Divergent Ejectors

Description: "The off-design performance of fixed- and of variable-geometry divergent ejectors was investigated. The ejectors, which were designed for turbojet operation at Mach 3, were investigated in the Mach number range of 0.8 to 2. The performance of a fixed-geometry ejector with high secondary-flow rates was competitive with that of more complex variable-geometry ejectors. Variable-geometry ejectors with compromises to reduce mechanical complexity produced performance reasonably close to that of an id… more

Rocket-Model Investigation to Determine the Lift and Pitching Effectiveness of Small Pulse Rockets Exhausted From the Fuselage Over the Surface of an Adjacent Wing at Mach Numbers From 0.9 to 1.8

Description: Report presenting some experimental free-flight data at a range of Mach numbers regarding the normal force and pitching effectiveness of several small pulse rockets in the fuselage of a rocket propelled model. Wing-damping data was also obtained from the wing bending response to the pulse-rocket excitations, and longitudinal stability data was determined from the model response. Results regarding pulse-rocket effectiveness, wing damping, and model stability data are provided.
