CL XI Nozzle F2 Absorption Experiment.

Abstract

An F2-absorption diagnostic technique was developed to determine F2 densities in the flow of a 10.2-cm-long TRW CL XI nozzle. The device was transported to the site, set up, tested, and returned to TRW in two days. Hence, the diagnostic device was demonstrated to be readily transportable and to be operable in a combustion-driven, chemical-laser field environment. Cold- and hot-flow measurements up to 970 K plenum temperature, i.e., no F2 dissociation, were in agreement; therefore, this measurement appears to be reliable.
