SSME Fuel Preburner Two-dimensional Analysis
The durability of the SSME turbine is strongly affected by the temperature profile leaving the preburner. A reacting flow computer model to predict the turbine inlet temperature profile was used. Calculations were made by using a reacting flow code, to assess the sensitivity of the turbine inlet temperature profile to variations in the flow entering the SSME preburner.
