Longitudinal mode combustion instabilities of a high-pressure fuel-rich LOX/RP-1 preburner

Book ·
OSTI ID:7222201
During the hot-fire testing of a high-pressure fuel-rich LOX/RP-1 preburner, longitudinal mode combustion instabilities were observed. The experimental data showing how the instability varied with the chamber pressure, mixture ratio, chamber length and turbulence ring are given. Technical rationales are given for the test-to-test hardware configuration changes that eventually led to the stable result.
