Air Temperature Near A Rocket Motor Exhaust Flame

Abstract

The temperature distribution of the gases adjacent to a 200-pound-thrust rocket motor flame has been investigated using thermocouples with radiation shields. Measurements were made out to a distance of three feet from the flame center line, at two-foot intervals along the flame length. From the measured values, isotherms in this region have been determined and are shown in graphical form. Close to the motor thrust, the air temperature at a distance of 10 in. or more from the plane center line did not exceed 100 deg C. However, out near the tip of the flame, temperatures of 300 deg C were obtained at 24" from the flame center line. jg p.2
