FLOW OF GAS-PARTICLE MIXTURES IN AXIALLY SYMMETRIC NOZZLES

Abstract

Studies were made of one-dimensional gas-particle nozzle flows in axially symmetric nozzle. Comparisons between calculated and experimentally measured nozzle efficiencies are given for a metallized double base propellant whose exhaust contains 38% condensed oxides. It is shown that the theory predicts the performance of this propellant in nozzles of greatly different size, shape and expansion ratio, within the limits of the experimental measurements. It is concluded that the theory adequately describes the flow of gas-particle mixtures in axially symmetric nozzles.
