SMALL DROPLET MEASURING TECHNIQUE

Abstract

A study and experimental program is being conducted which involves the detection and analysis of size distributions of droplets associated with the injection process in liquid propellant rocket engines. Program objectives are to: (1) Determine, through a review of the literature, applicable methods of detecting and recording rocket injector droplet spray distributions; (2) Demonstrate feasibility of experimental techniques selected from the literature using cold flow propellant simulants; and, (3) Improve the methods of data reduction such that large quantities of droplet data may be reduced economically.
