Wide Range Flow Control Program.

Abstract

The objectives of the wide range flow control program were to establish propellant flow control valve technology including techniques for mixture ratio control for deep throttling of liquid fluorine-liquid hydrogen rocket engine systems for rated thrust levels between 15K and 45K. The effort was directed to development of cavitating venturi valves for deep throttling of cryogenic liquids. The effort is described in eight separate sections of the report, each reflecting separate tasks including wide range cavitating flow study, and mixture ratio control study. (Author)
