Demonstration of Bipropellant Gas Generator Technology for Air Augmentation Applications
Abstract
An experimental program was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of a bipropellant gas generator for air augmentation applications. Efforts concerned both development of the gas generator and its evaluation during air augmentation tests. The final gas generator design permitted operation over the desired O/F range, demonstrated throttling capability and permitted the attainment of high afterburner combustion efficiencies with small scale hardware. This report describes the development of a gas generator, presents an evaluation of a number of variables affecting secondary combustor performance and presents results that demonstrate that the bipropellant gas generator concept is a very promising system for future ducted rocket applications.
