Extension of a Thrust Chamber Compatibility Model
Abstract
The report describes a combined analytical and experimental program which extended and improved a system of computer programs which calculates the effects of injector configuration on performance and upon thrust chamber wall compatibility. Improved correlations for the spray mass distribution patterns for liquid/liquid injector elements and the capability of predicting the mass distribution downstream of gas/liquid coaxial elements were incorporated into the LISP computer program. Calculation of the effects of droplet collisions, nonuniform axial gas velocity and variable droplet evaporation rates were added to the 3D-C0MBUST program which predicts the gas flow field in thrust chambers. An improved forced convection model was added to the BLEAT boundary layer program to permit heat transfer calculations under regenerative cooling conditions. Finally an injector face heat transfer program, IHTM, was added to the system.
