Popis: Testing at hypervelocity test conditions continues in the Hypulse expansion tube. A newly-calibrated Mach 13 operating point has been achieved, and hydrogen injection studies were performed at this test condition. The experiments were conducted in a 2-in x 1-in combustor model employing three injector configurations: a single flush-wall circular orifice; two such orifices on opposite walls (the 'dual' injector configuration); and two orifices on the upper and the lower walls (the 'quad' injector configuration). The quad injectors were distinctly superior to the other two configurations in promoting mixing, ignition, and combustion. The single injector, however, proved to be superior to the dual injectors, supporting the concept that the aspect ratio of the 'injection cell' plays a large role in promoting the processes required to achieve high combustion efficiency.
