Observed Emissivities of Rocket Combustion Gases
Abstract
The total and the spectral intensity of the radiation emitted by rocket combustion productsAT HIGH PRESSURE WAS STUDIED. Spectral and total radiation data are presented for 3 rocket propellant systems: HNO3 and HN3; N2O4 and NH3; and N2O4 and N2H4. Each of the combinations contained H2O as the principal radiating gas. The measurements were made at a nominal combustion pressure of 700 psia. Emissivity correlations and methods of estimating the temperature of the combustion gases are developed. A technique is given for obtaining direct observation of high temperature gases inside the combustion chamber of a small rocket motor.
