10/13
Updated specifications:
- Contraction ratio issue solved. Now have chosen maximum acceptable value of 10, and a current value of 9.55
- Chamber diameter is 3.5 in, which is the space that the injector needs
- Throat diameter of 1.1326 in
- Mass flow is 1.2 kg
- Chamber pressure of 460 (do calculations with 10% less)
- Exit pressure of 97329.71 Pa
- 30 deg contraction and 15 deg expansion angles
- L* is 63-64 with a chamber length of 6 in
To do:
- Thermal analysis
- CAD update (round/adjust values)
- Graphite and phenolic erosion modeling
