Small hydrogen/oxygen rocket flowfield behavior from heat flux measurements [PDF]
The mixing and heat transfer phenomena in small rocket flow fields with fuel film cooling is not well understood. An instrumented, water-cooled chamber with a gaseous hydrogen/gaseous oxygen injector was used to gather steady-state inner and outer wall ...
