Abstract:

Simultaneous equations describing rocket propellant injection, atomization, mixing, vaporization, and combustion are formulated for a cylindrical liquid oxygen jet surrounded by an annular gaseous hydrogen stream. The formulation is based on division of the combustion chamber into a nonburning region near the injector and a combustion region further downstream. Processes in the nonburning region are required to satisfy certain combustibility criteria before combustion is possible. The propellants then pass through a plane flame front into the combustion region. A simplified treatment of turbulent mixing between unlike reacting gas streams, one of which contains a liquid oxygen spray, characterizes the combustion region model. Solutions of the system of equations, obtained with a digital computer program, are detailed, discussed, and compared favorably with experimental information from Part I.
