Status Report on the Penn State RBCC Test Program
Abstract
The status of the RBCC ejector mode research program at Penn State is reviewed. Recent hardware modifications and measurement system improvements are discussed, including the motivation for these changes. Results from a series of tests with a single thruster configuration at a chamber pressure of 200 psia and with an area ratio 3.3 nozzle are presented. These results indicate that the primary (rocket exhaust) and secondary (entrained air) flow streams mix much more rapidly than a previous test series with an area ratio of 6.0 nozzle. Finally, the plans for a test series with a twin thruster configuration are discussed.
