Investigation of Non-Tubular Wall Regeneratively Cooled Thrust Chamber Concepts

Abstract

Parametric analyses, materials evaluation and thrust chamber ranking studies provided the basis for the selection of three fabrication concepts for experimental evaluation. Test panels and full-size chambers of the three concepts were fabricated and laboratory tested to establish process parameters, structural limits, dimensional repeatability and non-destructive inspection techniques for subsequent hot firing hardware. Thrust chambers representing each of the three concepts were successfully fabricated and hot fire tested demonstrating the structural integrity and thermal performance of the three fabrication concepts when exposed to the combustion environment.
