Nozzle Design • CEA code Addition • Pe/Pc ratio as input – varied Pc, O/F for each prop • Output parameters: c*, ɛ, γ, Tc, M, a • Assumption: • Exit Pressure = 48,263 Pa – Reason: Find ɛ AAE 450 Spring 2008
Injectors: • What are those? Who cares? • Cost: ~30% of total engine cost • Recommendations: • Liquid Propellants: • unlike, impinging type of injector • Hybrid Propellants: • Injects ox directly down the port • 91 – 93 % combustion efficiency • Injects ox into a pre-combustion chamber AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion
Backup Slides EXAMPLE: Selected this chamber pressure and O/F = 3 for LOX/LH2 case because there wasn’t much of a loss in Isp as Pc increased. Addition of mass is something we wanted to avoid. AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion
