DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION OF NOZZLES USING BULK PYROLYTIC GRAPHITE

Abstract

A series of four development nozzles with 1.2 inch throats and two demonstration nozzles with 2.3 inch throats were fired for 60 and 100 seconds respectively at 600 - 700 psig with 6500 F aluminized solid propellant. These nozzle assemblies employed bulk pyrolytic graphite and thick one piece edge plane throats in various design configurations. The designs were formulated to take advantage of the unique properties of thick pyrolytic graphite. Results of the test firings and analyses of performance are given.
