Results of experiments with highly loaded solid gas vortex flows are described. By application of the end-wall injection technique to eliminate boundary layer losses, solid to gas mass density ratios of the order of 100:1 have been attained in vortex flows, with very small particle loss ratios. A discussion of the influence of various parameters on the operation and maintenance of multi-component vortex flow is given. The observations are extrapolated to consider basic operating principles for the colloid core reactor rocket engine concept. |
