Research problems linked to this topic
- Propellants or combustion products can reach high pressures and temperatures in advanced or conventional propulsion systems.
- The influence of water vapour upon the combustion of carbon monoxide is well known, but its influence upon the combustion of hydrogen is not so well known.
- The dynamics of detonation for dispersed solid particulate explosives are not well understood.
- An important aspect of the study of the internal ballistics of solid-propellant rocket motors is the ability to predict with some accuracy the effect of core flow on propellant combustion behaviour.
- The mixing concept of fuel and air is the burning issue for hypersonic vehicles (scramjet) due to the less resident time of supersonic air in the combustion chamber.
- In studies of the ignition of fuel droplets and jets of gaseous or liquid fuel, it has proved necessary to simultaneously consider processes of premixing of the initially separated components and the chemical reactions leading to ignition.
