The effects of sonic vibrations on injector characteristics of liquid propellant rockets.

The effects of sonic vibrations on injector characteristics of liquid propellant rockets.

Rocket instability is not very well understood in liquid propellant rockets. Propellant vaporization is one rate controlling process in the combustion process. The object of this investigation was to investigate the effect of sonic vibration on liquid drops in sprays and liquid jets. Difficulties...
