FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF A GRAPHITE HEATER FOR HIGH PRESSURE NITROGEN OPERATION

Abstract

An experimental study was conducted to extend the operation of a graphite resistance nitrogen heater to pressures above the 1000 psi previously obtained. Using a somewhat modified design, a single pass spiral heater element as fabricated and tested at 5000 psi and 5000 R. Test runs of 5 to 15 minutes were carried out with total operating times at elevated temperatures and pressure exceeding several hours using the same element. The temperature was determined by the mass flow technique and checked against a thermocouple installed in the stagnation chamber.
