COOLED SOLID PROPELLANT ROCKET NOZZLES.

Abstract

Operational tests of the lithium flow console assembly were made. System design was checked out. Lithium handling techniques, system clean-out and operating procedures, and electromagnetic pump and flow meter characteristics were established. Fabrication of fully instrumented uncolled nozzles was completed. Fabrication of nozzle to motor case adapters wad completed. The convective colled nozzle successfully passed hydro-test and has been accepted. An oxidation-resistant coating of tin and aluminum has been applied to the nozzle. A lithium flow console has been designed to be used specifically in tests of the spray film colled nozzle. (Author)
