COMBUSTION STABILITY RATING TECHNIQUES.

Abstract

Work conducted on a study of liquid-propellant rocket combustion stability rating techniques is reported. Experimental tests were made for cold-flow characterization of three rating methods: nondirectional explosive bombs, directed blasts from explosive pulse guns, and directed flows of gases. Data relating the output characteristics of the method to particular design and input parameters are presented. Cold-flow characteristics are to be correlated with stability response of a rocket combustor when the techniques are applied during hot firings. Motor hardware and test stand preparations for the hot-firing program are described. (Author)
