A Rocket Engine Exhaust Plume Temperature Profile by Line Reversal Technique
Abstract
This report contains temperature profile measurements of a small rocket engine burning RP-1 fuel. A standard line reversal technique with sodium as the emitting species was utilized. Apparent temperature maps of the engine plumes produced by oxygen-rich and fuel-rich mixture ratios in a stratochamber simulating altitude (pressure) conditions are also represented. Apparatus used for the measurements and calibration procedure are fully described in the report.
