Abstract

738,219. Jet propulsion plant. DE HAVILLAND ENGINE CO., Ltd., HALFORD, F. B., and CLEAVER, A. V. April 27, 1954 [June 19, 1953], No. 17120/53. Class 110 (3). [Also in Group XII] A combustion chamber for a rocket motor of the kind which employs two or more normally non-gaseous propellants comprises a casing 10 and an inner flame tube 15, a relatively cool gas produced by decomposition or vaporization or partial combustion of a liquid propellant passing through the annular space 14 between the flame tube and the casing. The casing is formed with a convergent-divergent nozzle 13, and a circular catalyst element 12 and liquid fuel injection nozzle 11 are provided at the other end of the chamber. The flame tube comprises four thin-walled cylindrical sleeves 16, 17, 18, 19 which are spaced apart where they overlap to provide inlets 20 for the entry of relatively cool gas into the combustion space 24. The flame tube is supported within the casing by radial pm 9 22 and a perforated flange 23. In the combustion chamber shown, the propellants comprise a hydro-carbon fuel which is injected through the nozzle 11 and concentrated hydrogen peroxide which is passed through the catalyst element 12 to form a gasoeus mixture of steam and oxygen at a temperature of about 600 C. Some relatively cool gas issues through the perforated flange 23 to form a protective boundary layer at the throat of the nozzle. The casing is capable of withstanding the internal pressure while the flame tube is formed of heat- and oxidation-resistant material such as nickel-alloy.
