Abstract: Provided is a triboelectric pressure sensing cable. The triboelectric pressure sensing cable comprises a central conducting wire, a high-molecular polymer insulating layer, an electrode layer, and an insulating outer layer, which are coaxially attached in sequence. The central conducting wire and the high-molecular polymer insulating layer, and/or the high-molecular polymer insulating layer and the electrode layer separately generate signals by the means of triboelectric effect. Also provided is a method for preparing the triboelectric pressure sensing cable. The method comprises the steps of (1) preparing a high-molecular polymer solution; (2) forming a hollow cavity framework used for casting; (3) casting; (4) molding; and (5) forming an insulating outer layer so as to obtain the triboelectric pressure sensing cable. The provided triboelectric pressure sensing cable can achieve a monitoring effect which is the same as that of a conventional pressure cable, without requiring a high input impedance circuit or a charge-amplifier.

Abstract: A method for determining the optimum inlet geometry of a liquid rocket engine swirl injector includes obtaining a throttleable level phase value, volume flow rate, chamber pressure, liquid propellant density, inlet injector pressure, desired target spray angle and desired target optimum delta pressure value between an inlet and a chamber for a plurality of engine stages. The tangential inlet area for each throttleable stage is calculated. The correlation between the tangential inlet areas and delta pressure values is used to calculate the spring displacement and variable inlet geometry. An injector designed using the method includes a plurality of geometrically calculated tangential inlets in an injection tube; an injection tube cap with a plurality of inlet slots slidably engages the injection tube. A pressure differential across the injector element causes the cap to slide along the injection tube and variably align the inlet slots with the tangential inlets.
