A Simulator for a Hydrocarbon Ramrocket Fuel Gas Generator - First Phase Development
Abstract
Development was undertaken of a combuster to simulate the effluent of a solid hydrocarbon propellant ramrocket fuel gas generator, for use as a research tool. In this first phase of the work the combuster was limited to an operating pressure of 350 kPa and was fuelled by a mixture of toluene, ethylene and oxygen. The exhaust effluent was analysed for the compositions of both the gaseous and solid phases, and, the results were compared with both theoretical predictions and published data from tests with a solid propellant gas generator. The work provides a basis for further development of simulator technology. Keywords: Solid propellant rocket engines. Australia.
