Popis: The active part of the generator test section is 19 inches in length with a constant crosssection of 1-114 x 4 inches. Thirteen pairs of electrodes can be connected for segmented, continuous, Hall o r other modes of operation. At normal conditions about 0.16 lbm per second of alcohol is burned with stiochiometric oxygen and an equal mass of nitrogen, resulting in a total throughput of about 0.80 lbm per second and a thermal input of about two megawatts. The Mach number at the entrance to the test section is about 0.6 and the flow is choked at the exit. exhaust pressure is atmospheric.
