Good Morning Gentlemez:.

I would like to officially open the Space Shutde P='opulsion Technology

Conference and get on with our agenda and the business.

My name i_ Jerry Thomson of Marshall Space Flight Center; and i am

the Chairman of the Propulsion Technology Working Group. I will

serve as the Co_fference Chairman for the next two days.

There are some administra,lve matters and gene:,'al information that I

would like to present to you _bout the Conference, but first Iwould

l',ke to introduce the Dil-ecto?: of Science and Engineering here at the

Marshall Space Flight Center; a man very much at hnme in *.he field of

propulsion. I'm sure me, st of you already know him. tie is Dr. }terman

K. Weidner -- Dr. Weidner, p._ease.

W_tI:in the :)ast dozen years or so, this country has had a total of about

600 succes;ful space flights to her credit. And propulsion devices did their

thing in each and every one of them.

I mention tt_ese fact_ merely topoint out that our professio_'_al specialty

field - Space Propulsion - has come of age al_d has grown to be a

dependable tool in our storehouse of engineering skills. All in all, a

very impressive and proud record.

But this is no time to rest on our laurels. As of late, a new objective

in the field of ,ipace transportation is making its even greater demands

known, it is calling on the hest talents of all of us to do better still.

We are heavily banking on the results of your combined efforts and skiUs

to fuxnish u._ with the firm technological basis so that we may commit

ourselves, with good confidence, to new appli:ations and concepts of

advanced propulsive maci_inery.

It is the purpose then of taxis Space Shuttle Technology Conference to

lvt us take stock of where we stand today in our efforts and to sense how

much still r_m;;ins to be done.

Ann I like to wish this conference mucil success in accomplishing this

_,b.ie ctive.

I do not _a,,t to close here this morning, witt-out saying "Thank you" to

all of you who !,ave come, to Jerry Thomson who acts as the Chairman

/or the whole affair, a:_d to the many session Chairmep. and Speakers

,at.o have worked s.= di;Agently to make this conference possible.

Le,' me conclude, ti_en, by recognizing one mar. who is with us here

tl:i:, morning. This man is Del Tischle r, from NASA's office of

Advanced Re.,;earcl_and Technology. He has served for many years

directing NASA's Technology efforts in the field of Chemical Propulsion.

His leadership has contributed significantly to our past successes and

to the state of our art today.

Lately', he has taken on a broader and even n_ore important role in NASA,

xvhi_h is to plan and to pull together the totality of NASA's Shuttle

Teci_,o!o_y Program. A critically needed and a very difficult task.

I am sure that Del would want to make a Jew .-,.,marks of his own and

_iace the objective of this conference into an even sharper focus.

Thank you,

Del Tischler, Director, Shuttle Technologies Office, NASA Fieadquarters

Thank you Dr. Weidner.

Gobci Morning, Gentle,hen.

This conference on propulsion and its related area of cry-.genic p"opellant

handling is the third of a series of conferences sponsored by OAI4. T on ther°

technology programs which support the development of the co,_cept of a

fully r.eus._ble Space Launch Vehicle.

it has been suggested that this vehicle be called a Space Plane rather than

a Shuttle. Space Pla;:e may be a dignified desigaation. No matter what

you call it, its' ability to leave the confinenaent of the "I:7,arth's ;..tmosphere

is tota-ly dependent on the performance of rocket equipment. And to do so

ii_ two stages (or less, for that matter) whih: carrying the thermal

protection for reentry, the lifting :iurface,i for aerodynanfic flight, and

tht_ v_hv,.ls for landing as well as a crew compartment for human

intelligence aboard, de_:-_nds the utz_.ost in perfc_-mance of the hydrogen-

oxygen-fueled rocket engines planned for this vehicle.

At the beginning of the Saturn/Apdlo prograrn such engines were

inconceivable. The technological advances since thep have created a

pregnant situation in which birth cf these engines is a matter of nourishment

and tin, e. P:'oposais to d_:velop this equipment are due h,_re in appre:.imately

two weeks. While the main engines are technoiogicaUy in gcnd si_ape ,heir

integration it, to the vehicle, which embodies propellant ve._:sel, cargo carr.;cr,

reentry body, and aircraft, still constitutes a significant prcbler:.. The

propellvnt feed lines in the booster stage, for example, contain :_ ":oltune

equivalent to the THOR Missile. Conditioning this bulk of propellants is a

.............. v ......... _ for r-Ou:_, in which or: a La Grangian coordinate

scale the pilo_s and the engines travel alternately in opposite directions, must be

countered. Consider that the booster shrinks about a foot when propellants are

put aboard and you begin to appreciate that the intra-w__hic_.,lar mot'_ons are not

of negligible magnitude.

Furthermore these vehicle stages need mechanisms for directional control,

and in the orbiter, for translation between orbits. The problems of the

At_-xiliary Propulsion Systems aad the orbit mal_euvering system, bofi_ of

which are fed high-pressure gaseous propellants from a iow pressure liquid

propellant ta,zk source, cannot be regarded as proportional to the thrust of

their cornbustors. Our experience v¢ith the generation of high pressure gas

in flight and the use ef gaseous combustion systen_s is extren_ely lind.lied.

And so there is a lot to learn, define, and verify about such 3yste:ns in the

next two years.

Finally both stages need to return to the launch/landing site. The orbiter

gets there tile long way, and can make it wif.hout airbreathing engines wii:h

sacrifice in maneuver and go-around capability at the landi."g site. The

booster, however, will have to bore its _,ay through 350 miles of atmospilere

to get back tobase. This job requires good airbreathing turbojet engines

of large size.

Until these systems work, the Space Plane, or Shuttle, will go no where.

Thus we can conclude that this conference will cover the most vital as

wel[as challenging areas of work necessary to the Space Plane's successfu]

operation.

To get on with it, may I promptly turn the business of runni_g this s]:c_."

over to Jerry Thomson of MSFC, who has bcei_ ci_iefly responsible for

org._ nizing it.

This paper reviews the progress made on tlae XLR129-P-1 Reusable Rock-

et Engine Program conducted by Pratt _ hlaitn.ey Aircraft under Air Force RPL

sponsorship at the Florida Research and I)evelol)ment Center. The engine was

designed to provide 250,000 pounds of thrust in vacuum with a high area ratio

nozzle. Th,- size v:s selected to provide mozmin;ful data that could be scaled

over the ral_ge of lu0,00,') to 1,000,000 pounds thrust. The design of:-all eom-

t:onents and the engine system was completed. A full-so:de engineering mockup

of the demonstrator engine was also completed. "l'es'_s have been conducted on

the preburrter, the main case, and the fuel "c.ucbopump, which are

reviewed and discussed. The assembly of txvo po,verhcads consisting of these

components anti tests on these powerheads are re,dewed. The component re-

usabilicy experience in this program is also reviewed. Component programs in

specific areas with demonstrated reusability are: (1) wear life of critical mov-

ing components in valves, (2) fati_,,ue life in turl)ol,ump bearings, (3) creep life

of turbine blades, and t4_ low cycle fatiffue life of exhaust nozzle coolant pass-

ages. The design procedures and criteria t',at have been used for the.

XLI{129-P-1 reusable rocket engine are based on those that have been used

sttccessMlly for the design of commercial and military jet engines with proved

darabili_' and reliabili*y.

A test rig consisting of thepreburner,)xidizer valve, the iniector :rodigmiter, the housing and cooled liners, a_d a main burner simulator was assem-bled •_s shown in figl_re 4 and tested. Objectives of these tests were to o;,al:_.ate temperature profile, comb:tstion stability, combustion efficiency, simu-lated e_gine starting and durability of the hardware. Twenty-two tests wereconducted between August 1969 and April 195"0, and a sun, mar' of the test re-sults is presentcd in table II. These tests showed that thc temperr, ture profileon thc last series of tcsts is suitable for continued testin_ with the fuel turbo-pump in the "powerhead" rig. Dyna:nie combustion stability was also (lemon-strated. Combustion effieieney was demonstrated to be quite high and appro;,.eh-ing 100r.: in most cases. Engine starts were simulated and hardware durabilityfor the basic components was shown to be satisfaetn,.y. Figt, re 5 is a plot ofthe preburner mgxture ratio profile that was attained in a run at 75": thrust andat an equivalent engine mixture ratio of 7.0.

The XLR129-P-1 demonstrator engine program schedule is shown in

fignire _,. This 54-month program was divided i;,to five basic phases. The

first p|;ase, which was completed early in 1968, generated test and analytical

data to complete the technology n_cessary to design the engir, e and components.

During the second phase, which ended in the latter porti.on of 19G9, all the

components were dcsig'ned. The tJ_ird [ahame,which was the fabricatloi_ a_d

testing of corr, ponents was started, but was not completed becm:se all test work

on the cm_tract was terminated. Some of the most significant compm,ents were

fabricated and tested; these are de_;cribed in the following sections. The fourth

phase was to t:ave b_en the integration of the components into the demonstrator

engine and the test£ng of the demonstrator engine. The fifth phase was to have

been the definition of a flight engine that could have resulted from a subsequent

Engineering Development Program. These phases were not started.

Procurement of raw nmterial for" the outer m:|in ea_;e and l:d)ri('ation of

the case werf. started early in 19(;9. "I'he eoplanar intersecting sphere (lef_t!..qt

was selected over the canted-components version after desi,ql studies and model

testing ha, lbeen ce.nducted. 'Fais coplanar version was selecte,.l because it

offered the best e,mfi_,-ueation considering the inner duct design, cool!,_g,

thrust loacI hg, ndlmg, and assem_qy and manufactt, ring. l.'it,,-u_'e 7 show:; how the

major components plug into the main case. !.'igx,,'e s shows an i_ternal l],)wsehen::_tic of t!_e main t':ts_:, with the i':,el turb_q:t,l_i: _.llcI the _xidizer tttt'l_')l_t.ln_, p

minimize we,ght _',nd m:Lximize confidence in the predicted strllerLttr:ll l_l:ll'gins.

Following fabrication, the case was successfully proof pre._sure/thrust tested

under conditions cxeeed,.'ng normal test levels. "lne case was tested under two

internal pressu;'e and thrust ratios; namely {1) Simulated preburner testing

pressure-thrusL ratio; lOOq- proof test load equal to ,t5')0 psig and (;:), t)O0 pounds,

and (2) simulated engine desigm pressure-thrust ratio; leOn. proof lest load equal

to .t500 pstg pad 375,000 pounds. I.'igure 9 shows the case during testing, w'th

stress coat to indicate areas of high stress. Figure 10 shows an internal view

of the transition case with the internal eenterlcody installed.

3. Powerhead Test Results

The hot gas system, was tested first during May and June of 1970 consist-ing of file preburner injector, preburner oxidizer valve, oxidizer purap simul:aor,fuel pump simulator and a nozzle back pressure plate mounted on the transitioncase. Figure 15 shows this hot gas syst,.'m mounted on the test stand. SLx com-bustion tests were conducted on this hot gas system which demonstrated thefeasibility of all the hardware with hot gas that simulated engine conditions. Thetot:3 test time was 42, B seconds. Table IV presents a suilnmary el the test dataobtained.

Following :he successful tests, the fuel turbopump was then substitutedfor th.: fuel pump simulator, and this powerhead or hot gas system rig assem--bly is shown in fig'ure 16. One of the priocipal cbjcctives of the second power-head was to qualify the fuel turbopump turbine with hot ga_ for engine operation.Rig operation up to 75,_ of ratc, d prebur_,_r conditions was attained.

t. Component I_eusability

One cf tile specific life requirements of th( XLP, 129-P-1 reusable roel.a,ten_inc is a 10-hour Time Between Overhauls {'I'I:O). Lon_ engine lift' in eitherturboje! ,'ngines or rocket engines begdns in the initial d esi_;n of tile compon-ent.s and engine and is achieved through endurauce rdiability and durability

testing. At Pratt & Whitney Aircraft rclial,i_ity rind dependability are influ-ential considerations from the start of design until the eng6ne is retired fromsevvice. There are certain specific comlmnent life factors that have reeelvcde!ose attention on the XLR129-P-1 reusable rocket engine. These component!ire factors are: wear, fatigue, low cycle fati_._ae and creep.

a, Wear

Wear of parts in rubbing contact becomes a dominant factor in the designof suc'h parts as turbopumv., sha_ft-sea!s and shutoff valve seals. Pratt &_A2;itnt, y Aircralt has conducted extensive valve s,.,als tests under Air ForceContract to improve the life of these seals. For exam!.'le, the main chamberoxidizer valve, whieh is a butter;ly valve, incorporates a shutoff seal for theoxidizer flow to the mai,: burner injector. To accommodate this shutofffeatm'e a ca;:ted shaft wi_ an integral disk was selected so that an uninter-rupted disk :_ealing surface _muld be pt'ovided. Ineorporxtior of the shutoffseal in this valve eliminates the need for a scp:;rate shutoff wive between themain t'ha|niJer oxidizer valve :rod the main hurner injector. A test rig wasmade for the purpose of environmental e.durance tests on various designs "_ftl,e main chamber oxidizer valves, The tests were conducted by submergingthe v,"tlve in liquid nitrogen or liquid argon and pressurizing with I_trogen toin_ernal pressure of 50 to 6000 psig.

The valves were cycled at these conditions, al_ valve seal leakages weremeasured periodically. For the latter tests, liquid argon was seieeted for _-'::cryogenic bath to ensure that all. of the nitrogen leakage vaD_rized at the va_,external ambiert press;we. This allowed satisfactory steady-state leakagemeasaremenz accuracy for all data points. The objeettve of the leakage testbwas to obtain a seal design that would have !ess thzm 10 sees leakage. AWpical endurance test would consist of 10,000 shutoff cycles and 500 press_Jrecycles. A satisfactory hoop seal was developed with a eonfibmration as shownin figure 18. Tins hoop sea! was silver plated a_.d bad a 0.0".0 in. tight fit onthe disk. Figure 19 shows a D'picai disassembly of the main chambe,," oxidizervalve seal rig. FiDlre Z0 is a typical leakage cur_e versut_ shutoff cycles with,he hoop shutoff sea__s. As a result of these tests a satisfactory seal wasdeveloped which showed that wear could be controlled to attain a 10-hour ii.fe,consisting of 10,000 shutoff eyries and 500 pressure cycles. This type ofseal will be used on the main chamber oxidizer valve.

b. Fatigue

Fatigue, in ,_hich a part is subjected to a cyclic stzess below the elasticlimit for millions of cycles, becomes a dominam, factor in the design of certaincomponen,*.s such as propellant cooled bearings opcr_,ting under high load whereeach time the ball or roller passes a point on a bearing race a stress i¢ im-posed on the race and removed after the bearing or roller Las passed. At highrotational speed, with a large number of bails or rollers in the bearing, manymillions of cycles can be accumulated in a short period of time. A rollerbearing durability test program was conducted at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, and55 x 96.5 ran, roller bearings were tested and e_aluated for use in the XLR129-P-1 fuel turbopump. These fuel turbopump roller bearings operated at a max-imum DN of about 2. 65 million mmx rpm. The beat'ings operatg in a liquidhydrogen environment that is provided by the propellant being pumped in thefuel turbopump. A test rig was made that has the capability of testing twobearings simultaneously at speeds up to 62,000 rpm with radial loads up to

2400 lb. 1.'i_ re 21 shows a cutaway of the roller bearh_g test rig that wasusecl. During Phase II of the atlvm_eed ,h,velopm.2nt pro._ram, a total of .':5hours of test time at 48,000 rpm was _eeumulatcd. These tests were con-ducted to evaluate the effects of roller length to diameter ratio, roller end toside rail clearance, internal clearance m_r.I roller crowning on roller t,ndwear and bearing durability. During all these te:;ts, a 1700-1b radial load wasapplied to the load bearing rcsulthlg in approximately 1-t-t5-1b radial load onthe reaction bearing. Five bearing configmrations were dev,Aoped that passedthe 10 hour goal test duration at the design operating conditions. "rher(.fore,it can be concluded that fatigue on the race of the bearing can oe eontrolle,.'through proper design to attain the desired 10 hour life. Figxtre 22 shows aroller bearing alter 15.3 hours of test. The most promising bearing config-uration tested used stainless steel (AMS 5630) inner race and rollers: anouter race guided Armalon cage; a steel alloy (AMS 6265) outer race, singlecrown, L/D = 1.0 rollers with 0. 020 in. roller end to timer race, side railclearance &aid 0.00.t3 in. rmgative diametrical internal clearance. Bearingsof tkis configuration will be used in the XLIl129 fuel turbopump.

c. Low-Cycle Fat __."ue

L.,w-cycl_ fatigue is ,also a major factor in the design of rocket enginec,',,:_t_',nents. Every time the en_ne sta_'ts and reaches full power, largeth.-.v,,_ai ¢.r_dients are produced on the components. The component areas ex-postxt to the high temperatureq heat rapidly and expand rapidly. Those areasthat are not e.x'posed to the high temperatures do _ot heat as rapidly and,therefore, ,,x'pand more slowly. These large temperature gradients result inhi;;h stresses. The thermal process reverses d_ring the shutdown. Some ofthe comi>oncnts that heat_x_ rapidly during engine operation now cool rapidly,and many ot the components that heated slowly now cool gradually. This re-suits in stresses dropping to low levels. Some may even reverse producingeompressiv,: stresses. Therefore, with each ignition, acceleration to power,shutd3wn and cooldown, the en_ne is subjected to large stress variationsconsisting of both high tensile and compress:re stresses. Low-cycle fatigueis characterized by loads imposed that strain the materiM beyond its elasticlimit into the plastic region. This type of operation occurs, for example inthe nozzle coolant tubes that have a large thermal gradient through the wallthat cy:les on and off each time the engine is started and stopped.

The primary nozzle of the XLRI29-P-I engin_ consists _f two tubularhi'at exch,'mgers. The material selected for the coolant tubes was Inconel 625(A.',IS ._59(.)). This material can be iormed into tapered tubes and is easilyb,'aze, i. The primary nozzle coolant tubes were sized by ,analytical consider-ations of temperatures ,'u,d the fatigue cycle life requirements. The tubes hadto be dcsik_ned for a life of :_,00 operating cycles and a 10-hour total operatingtime. The 30,)ocycle requirement is actually more severe. Thi_ had to bedefined from low-cycle fatigue tests, which were conducted by Pratt & WhitneyAircraft. Inconel 625 tubing with nominal 0.322 in. outside diameter andnominal 0. 012 in. wall thickness was obtained, ,rind 12 sample tubes were fab-ricated. Twelve Inconcl 62G 1-in. diameter bars were also fabricated, and thetubes were brazed to tbe stiffener blocks as showr_ in figure 23. The testequipment consisted of a copper induction heater coil, liquid nitrogen supplytank, plexigl:_s atmos_,here container, helium supply bottles, radiation pyrom-eter, timer, cycle cou_}:er, thermocouples, potentior.eter and pressure gage.Fil.nare 2z, shows the details of the test rig with a s,)ecimen supported in theliquid nitrogen trough and the method of induction t eating. The tweiv.: testspecimens were pressurized in_ernally with helium gas to the hoop stress re-quirements. The thermal strain was induced by placing the irduction coil ap-proximately 0.25 in. about the tube crown of the specimen and placing thestiffening block in liquid nitrogen. This method was the most representativeof gctual and engine condltions that the laboratory could accomplish. Thecrown of the tube was heated, and the temperature was determined by radiationpyrometers emissivity. Two thermocouples on each edge of the heated tubewere used as a check. An optical pyrometer was used to verify the tempera-ture readings of the radiation pyrometer at the 1880°R test points. Therefore,the temperatures recorded are fairly accurate. Each thermal cycle was con-trolled by an automatic timer _,v.ndcounter. The thermal cycle consisted of60 seconds total time of which approximately 30 seconds were required to attaintemperature, 15 seconds were at the test temperature, and 15 seconds tocool down to the liquid nitrogen temperature (159°R), The te.qt data pointsare shown in figure 25. The number of cycles reclulred for rupture of the tubesamples at the stress level and temperature indicated are shown in paren-thesis below each series of data points. From these data it can be concludedthat at the engine design pomv of 29,300 psi tube stress level, the aG0-cyclelife can be att_Aned if the maximum tube wall temperatures are maintain_.dbelow 1300"F.

Figure 26 shows a relationship between the stress and how long it takes this

material to creep 1,% at 1800'F. Simil9r data are available at other tempera-

tures. Through proper design, and by maintaining the stress levels to attain

a one-percent creep life, it is possible to attain e_remely long life on the

turbine blades and vanes in jet engines. This technology is directly applicable

to the att_nment of long life on the turbines _d vanes of the reusable shuttle

rocket engine.

d. Creep

Creep of components operating in a high temperature environment will

occur, as it does in turbojet engines, particularly in tm'bine blades an2 vanes.

Therefore, experience in turbojet blade and vane al|oy development wtlI be of

direct benefit _o the reusable shutOe rocket engine. For example, on advanced

military jet engines, it has been demonstrated that it is feasible to attain a

3000-hour total life for cooled tu.bine blades with an average combustor Lem-

perature as high as 2400°F. One of the important developments that has con-

tributed to this long Iife is the us_ of a direction,_lly solidified high temperature

alloy for the tu_bi_ie bladp_. Tb!s particular alloy offers maximum strength

and excellent fatigue and creep resistance at metal temperatures ap to 20000F.

ABSTRACT

A low frequency stability model has been developed to represent the

case where one or more of the propellants used in a rocket engine is a com-

pressible fluid. Results for two oxygen - hydrogen rocket combustors are

discussed. Also included is a discussion of the predictu4 effects of mixture

ratio and propellant temperature.

INTRODUCTION

The motivation for developing a model which treats the particular case

of compressible reactants was an inability to predict the trend3 noted in

stability of a gaseous hydrogen - oxygen rocket engine using the conventional

low frequency models such as the type discussed in Reference I, which were

specifically developed for liquid propellant systems. Experimental data such

............................... n_ .... =_L, 6 the fael injector pres-

sure drop reduced the eta_ili=y of _aseous propellant rockets. The trend

toward reduced stability margin with Imcreased injector stiffness is Just the

opposlt_ _o predicted trends of curren: models.

Previous treatments of =he problem of low frequency Instab_llty gener-

ally postulate a model based on the conservation of mass and assumed that all

signilicant energy release is coincident with conversloe of llqui_ r_actants

to gaseous products. It was also assumed _hat th_ dense liquid propellants

occupied...........a n_g_*g_ble volume on ent¢rlng the _._uer,-_..... u_aking it possible to

ignore their e_fect on cha=ber pressure the instant they enter the chamber.

It was not until the reactants were gasified and reacted that their presence

was felt, and these two events were assumed to occur slmult_neous!y.

The analysis presented here takes a somewhat different approach in that

the conset_atlcn of energy law is invoked as a mean_ of determining the sta-

bility of a system. _y so doing, it is possible to separate the e_ect

gaseous reactants have on chanbe: pressure the inste::t they enter the chamber

and their effect _hen they are converted to products.

TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

GENERAL -- Consideration of the low frequer:cy feed system coupled sta-

ability charact_rlstics of a rocket engine using _aseous propellants intro-

duces some analytical complexity beyond that of an equivalent liquid system.

However, of more importance are the questions concerning the stability of such

a system as compared to a liquid propellant system. The questions are prompted

by the fact that the gaseous system generally requires larger injector orifices,

which improves acoustic coupling between the feed system and the combustion

chamber. The injection velocities are higher with consideration being given

to velocities a_proaching the speed of sound of the injected gases. It is

also interesting t¢ note that the tuned gas cavities, such as resonators and

quarter-wave tubes, have been used to stabilize an engine. If such were the

case with a gaseous feed system, this would imply that it would he desirable

to maintain good coupling between the feed §ystem _nd ti_e combustion chamber--

an approach Just the opposite to that t_ken for liquid systems.

The basic difficulty in developing a stability model for gas - gas or

gas - lJq,_d combustors is the problem of separating the effect of gases as

they enter the combustion chamber, and their effect w:,cn they ccmbust. The

propellants could react at the instant they enter the chamber or after they

have been in the chamber for suff!c_ent time to r_ix, d_ffuse, or reach a

critical temperature. In order to overcome thls difficulty, it was necessary

to use both the conservation mass ancl ener/'y equa._i,)ns to develop a character-

istic equation for determining the stability of a s[,stem. This approach

allows for an acc)unting of the energy added by the gases as they enter the

chamber separately from the release of chemical e_ergy whun they react. The

gases, as they enter the chamber, are cohslder_d to be isentroplc perfecl

Eases, posse_slng both Internal ar:z flew energy. The enthalpy of the gases

includes only th_ internal and pressure, or _otential, energy of the fluids

an_ not the rhemi(:al _ncrgy associated with each propellant in %oin_ from

reactants to products.

The chemical energy released by the reactants is simulated by a heat

source located :.n the chamber. The quantity of energy released per ib ofm

reactants is th_ dlffercnce between the energy levels of the fluids entering

and leaving the chamber. In this way, it is possible to avoid a detailed

description of the intermediate processes.

In addition to the unsteady energy release associated with the per-

turbed flow, a second source of energy is included which is developed using a

linearized Arrenhius rate function to describe this source of energy. The

inclusion of this source turn was prompted primarily based on trends observed

in experimental data from gas - gas rocket testing. A block diagram of the

entire model is :;hown in Figure 3.

The feed system admittance, Yx' is, in general, complex and a functlon of the

physical prop,_rties of the propellant, the pres3ure drops in feed system, and

the dynamic characteristics of the feed lines upstream of the injector.

In order to make the analysis as genera" as possible and yet not so

complex, as to make interpretation of the results impractical, two types of

feed systems ere considered. The first feed system considered is one which

is terminated upstream pt the injector by an "open line" -- the open line

being representative of a feed line which terminates in a propella_t tank

having a diameter several times larger than the feed llne. Th_ second type

of termination considered is a closed llne, which is indicative of a feed

llne with a sonic flow control nozzle era high pressure drop point upstream

of the injector.

The starting point in both cases is the acoustic wave equation and the

momentum equation. For the case of no mean flow effects and no distributed

line pressure drops, the wave equation is

andthe momentum equation is

Transferring the above equations to the Laplace domain, it can be shown that\

the admittance for a constant area duct is given by

In order to make the feed line representative of an actual rocket

engine feed system, the system is assumed to be as shown in Figure 4, with

tile restriction in th_ line representing an injector orifice. The assunption

of an "open" (G×o . _,) and a "closed" feed line (Gxo = O) represents the two

possible extreme_ encountered in a rocket engine. Only one of these cases,

tile "closed" feed llne will be discussed.,

CLOSED FEED LINE TERMINATION -- The closed feed llne termination, in

the ecoustic sense, is one where the velocity perturbatioha are zero or very

nearly so. Under this condition, from the definition of admittance

it can be seen that G = 0 and Z = =, Flow condition3 which approach aOX OX

The third an_ most important, in terms of the amount of energy added

by the incoming reactants, is that energy released when the reactants are con-

verted to products. Previous analysis of this type (Ref i) have assumed that

the energy released by the reactants can occur at times oth_.r than when the

268

reactants enter ti_e chamber. This time deldy, which is generally referred to

as the total time lag, is intended to physically represent the time required

to complete the precombustion processes such asr_apo_ization in the case of

liquid reactants, gas phase mixing, heat-up periods, or any of the many pre-

combustion processes associated with reactants whica are not premixed. This

synthes_s is devised to avoid the complexities of mechanistic representation

of processes, _hith are, in general, difficult to d,_termine in a rocket engine.

This assumption is retained in this analysis. This analysis deviates from the

approaches of Keference I in that the perturbed reactants flowing into the

chamber are assumed to comSust independently of each other. This assumption

wa_ mace for two zeasons: the first being that it would seem physically mole

rep-'esentative of what could occur rather than assuming the two perturbed

flows concurrently arrived at th,¢ right time and under the r_ght conditions

to react with each other. _he second reason was that the previous approach

did not ;_how sufficient gale in the system tc sustain a low frequency insta-

bility i_ a number of rocket engine systems where low frequency instability

had been observed.

Using the abuve assumptions, the following representation is developed

for the energy released by each of the reactants:

E' " (; W' e (21)X3 X X C

where G is an amplification factor resulting from the fact that the perturbed

reactant flew reacts in its s:eady-stata counterpart and the net perturbed gas

generation re¢= is =he sum of the perturbed flow plus the amount of its

counterpart with which it reacts, which is assumed to be available from the

steady flow. The degree to which each perturbed reactant is assumed to inter-

act wi_h the steady state reactants is dependent on where the steady state

mixture ratio is relative to the stoichlometrlc m_xture (SR). If the steady

combustion is fuel r_ch, all the perturbed oxidizer is assumed to react at the

269

Page 241: VOLUME ! MAiN PROPULSION - NASALately', he has taken on a broader and even n_ore important role in NASA, xvhi_h is to plan and to pull together the totality of NASA's Shuttle Teci_,o!o_y

stolchiome_rlc mixture ratio, SR, and only a portion of the perturbed fuel for

which ox_dlzer is available. It is assumed the amount available is W' =of W_ R

which gives

(sk + i)C =o SR

RCf = SE (SR + i)

TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE COmbUSTION -- Resul_ of analytleci work indicate

(Reference 3) there is a dependence of engine stability on mix_uze ratio.

Attempts to show this type of trend using only the representation for the

-_.ergy added by combustion Just discussed were unsuccessful. For this reason,

a second source of energy of combustion is included based on reaction kinetics.

This particular mechanism was selected primarily because it i_ physically

plausible with gaseBus propellants, and the experimental and analy<!cal work

indicated that deviation from stolchlometric mixcure ratio tends tc degrade

the stability of a gaseous rocket engine.

Z'ol (S) + E'o2 (S) + E'o3 (S) + Efl' (S) + El3' (S) + Qc - E_(S)

= s E (s) (39)c

where Ec(S) is the initial perturbatioa energy in the cha_:ber.

Fro= the above equations, the characteristic polynomial, K G H (S), can be

determined, and _he Nyquist criterion used to determine syetem stability. In

conventional control loop notation, the various components of the system are

shown in Figure 3. It should be noted that the system, as treated in this

analysis is a positive feedback system with a characteristic polynomial ratio

in the form

(s) = z c (s) (40)R I - K G H (S)

Thus, the Nyquist instability criterion is that the gain must be greater than

one and the phase equal to zero degrees.

RESULTS

COMPARISON WITH EXPERImeNTAL RESULTS -- T_ble I is a !1st of the experi-

mental and predicted results for two rocket engine combustors using oxygen -

hydrogen propellants. One of the combustors which was the pewur source of e

turbopump operates at a mixture ratio in the range of 0.B0 at chamber pressures

in excess of 2000 psia.

The agreement is quite good in terms sf the resulting stability char-

acteristics and the predicted frequency of instability. At each of the fre-

quencies listed the Nyquist criteria of zero phase was satisfied. The fre-

quency at which the gain is greater than 1.0 would be the observed frequency

of instability.

The second grgup of test results were obtained from a oxygen - hydrogen

engine which operated at nominal chamber pressure of 500 psia over the mixture

ratio range of 3.7 to 9.8. The _gceement between ex_erlmental and analytical

results are also quite good in this case.

The actual system pressure drops and propellant temperatures were used

as input to the model in making the predictions listed.

In all cases evaluated the time lag between the oxidizer _nJection and

combustion was assuaged to be O.001 seconds. For th_ fuel the time lag was

assumed to be zero.

It was also necessary to assume an effec=ive activation energy. A review

of the literature Indicated a value In the order of 25000°R was reasonable.

This value was used for all cases analyzed.

PARAMETRIC SIUDY -- In evaluating the results from the analysis two

versions of the model were evaluated. This first included all energy terms

with the exception of the energy addition due to a non-unsteady rate of

reaction given by Equation (30). The second version included all terms.

Several parametric studies were made in each case.

For the version without 'he rate equation b,c_uded, effects of =z._ture

ratio and propell._rt inlet temperature were evaluat_. Ty;!_al ol the :e,iults

obtained for a rocket engine havicg th_ desi_n c,ara._rl. _i _ , and using the

propellants indicated in Table II are shown I., Figures 5 and 6. 7rc_ these

results, three sigrlflcant trends were noted. The _Ir_t, wh|ch i_ ind_cate_

by the results shown in Figure 4, is that low frequent7 stability _pr_ve_

witi_ a decrease in mixture ratio. Improved stability i_ also _bt:Jinfd by

increaslng propellant temperature while :alntalnlng a constant InJe_.tor pr_s-

sure drop, the Imprmvement being m_st notlceaole at l_)w mixture ratios where

the propellant enthalpy Is _gnx;h:ant re]atlve to thtt added t7 cc,=bustlon.

The parametric studies of tLe same tucker _r_gi::e wlth _he _ate fuDztlon

included were identical to the prev_ous resul_s with the e_cept_on that the

trend with mixture ratio 4as revers:d in that stability dec eased w_h decreas-

ing mixture ratio (Figure B) an_ the effect of 9ro_e]_,nt _.]_t is lot _s pro-

nounced as can be seen from Figure 9. _s with =he ca_e wlth no cgmbus_on, the

effect of propellant temperature _s more pronounc_.d at low mlxtur¢ ra_ios.

During all the above parametrJc studies Injector [.res_ure dre_ wer_ held con-

stant which weuld b_ representative of a design study of a _ixed pressure drop

system.

A parametric _tudy was also made for t_e ca_e w,ete the _ctor design

case the increase _D nron_11anr _-,p_-_,,_- - .... _'_ _ _nc .... '

time lags were equal, and the other where the _uel ti_e ia 4 was zero. The

results are shown in Figures 9a and b respectiv_!y alon_ with _he ccnatant 'P

cases. Figure 9b is reDres,_ntatlve of the _xperl_ental res_ts dlscuc_ed _re-

viously in that system stabil_ty was decreased with Increa_l_g fuel tnJ_:t_r
