    摘要: An integral, lightweight combustion chamber/nozzle assembly for a rocket engine has a refractory metal shell defining a chamber of generally frusto-conical contour. The shell communicates at its smaller end with a rocket body, and terminates at its larger end in a generally contact contour, which is open at its terminus and which serves as a nozzle for the rocket engine. The entire inner surface of the refractory metal shell has a thermal and oxidation barrier layer applied thereto. An ablative silica phenolic insert is bonded to the exposed surface of the thermal and oxidation barrier layer. The ablative phenolic insert provides a chosen inner contour for the combustion chamber and has a taper toward the open terminus of the nozzle. A process for fabricating the integral, lightweight combustion chamber/nozzle assembly is simple and efficient, and results in economy in respect of both resources and time.

    摘要: An apparatus for testing and evaluating the spray pattern of high pressure fuel injector elements for use in supplying fuel to combustion engines. Prior art fuel injector elements were normally tested by use of low pressure apparatuses which did not provide a purge to prevent mist from obscuring the injector element or to prevent frosting of the view windows; could utilize only one fluid during each test; and had their viewing ports positioned one hundred eighty (180.degree.) apart, thus preventing optimum use of laser diagnostics. The high pressure fluid injector test apparatus includes an upper hub, an upper weldment or housing, a first clamp and stud/nut assembly for securing the upper hub to the upper weldment, a standoff assembly within the upper weldment, a pair of window housings having view glasses within the upper weldment, an injector block assembly and purge plate within the upper weldment for holding an injector element to be tested and evaluated, a lower weldment or housing, a second clamp and stud/nut assembly for securing the lower weldment to the upper weldment, a lower hub, a third clamp and stud/nut assembly for securing the lower hub to the lower weldment, mechanisms for introducing fluid under high pressure for testing an injector element, and mechanisms for purging the apparatus to prevent frosting of view glasses within the window housings and to permit unobstructed viewing of the injector element.

    摘要: An ignitor for use with the MC-1 rocket engine has a cartridge bounded by two end caps with rupture disc assemblies connected thereto. A piston assembly within the cartridge moves from one end of the cartridge during the ignition process. The inlet of the ignitor communicates with a supply taken from the discharge of the fuel pump. When the pump is initially started, the pressure differential bursts the first rupture disc to begin the movement of the piston assembly toward the discharge end. The pressurization of the cartridge causes the second rupture disc to rupture and hypergolic fluid contained within the cartridge is discharged out the ignitor outlet.

The pressurization of the cartridge causes the second rupture to rupture and hypergolic fluid contained within the cartridge is discharged out the outlet. Once the piston assembly reaches the discharge end of the cartridge, purge grooves allow for fuel and remaining hypergolic fluid, to be discharged out the ignitor outlet into the combustion chamber to purge the ignitor of any remaining hypergolic fluid.

    摘要: In accordance with this invention, a releasable clamping apparatus (10) is constructed having an opening or slot (14) within which a lifting handle (28 or 30) is clamped between retaining latch portions (62, 64) and a clamp assembly (34). The latch portions (62, 64) are supported by openings (56, 58) and are retracted and extended into a slot (14) by spring biased linkage members (78, 80). These members (78, 80) are acted upon by similarly profiled cam lobes (116, 116a, 118, 118a). Dissimilarly profiled cam lobes (126, 128) of the cam member (110) act upon the clamp assembly (34), clamping a handle (28 or 30) against faces (68) of the latch portions (62, 64). The cam member (110) is coupled to a shaft (162) having an operating handle (32), with the shaft (32) also being provided with a detent assembly (202). This detent assembly (202) locks the handle (32) and the shaft (162) in "locked" positions (38 or 40) in the surface (198) of the apparatus (10), which clamps a handle (28 or 30) as described. When the handle (32) is rotated to position the detent assembly (202) in one of the "release" openings (42, 44), the clamp assembly (34) and the latch portions (62, 64) are withdrawn into their respective openings, releasing the handle (28 or 30).

    摘要: An end effector device (A) for grasping and holding an article such as a handle (18) of a space telescope is disclosed. The device includes a V-shaped capture window (74) defined as inclined surfaces (76, 78) in parallel face plates (22, 24) which converge toward a retainer recess (54) in which the handle is retained. A pivotal finger (30) meshes with a pair of pivoted fingers (26, 28) which rotate in counterrotation. The fingers rotate to pull a handle within the capture window into recess (54) where latches (50) lock handle (18) in the recess. To align the capture window, plates (22, 24) may be cocked plus or minus five degrees on base (64).

    摘要: An injector for use with the rocket thruster has a plurality of fuel ports separated from a plurality of oxidizer ports. The oxidizer and fuel ports are paired together directing their respective fluids along a path with radial and tangential components so that the two fluids impinge at a predetermined spaced apart distance from the chamber wall of the combustion chamber at an impingement track. By providing the fuel at a steeper angle relative to the chamber walls than the oxidizer, the fuel can be utilized to provide a fuel rich zone near the chamber walls to assist in cooling the chamber walls during operation.

    摘要: A gas generator and ignitor assembly for powering a turbine of a turbopump assembly for a rocket engine comprises an injector and a combustion chamber, the injector having a body member including a fuel inlet and an oxidizer inlet spaced one from the other and communicating with respective radially spaced apart annular members in the body member. Three annuli communicate with the fuel inlet and two annuli communicate with the oxidizer inlet, the annuli which communicates with the oxidizer being positioned between pairs of the other annuli. The body member is enclosed by a plate having an array of bores arranged in two series with three radially spaced apart groups of circular rows in each series. The outer series has 28 groups of triplet bores while the inner series has 14 groups of triplet bores. The annuli which communicate with oxidizer feed bores of each series that are between the other bores of a triplet, the latter bores communicating with annuli that communicate with fuel. The inner and outer bores of the triplets of each series are inclined relatively to each other and to the third bore of the triplet so that fuel and oxidizer atomizes as it is sprayed into the inlet of the combustion chamber where the propellants are mixed, and burned. The burning of the propellants is effected by ignition of a plug of solid propellant fuel mounted to communicate with the interior of the combustion chamber.
