Combustion system for radiation investigationsAn inlet interface flange, inlet diffuser, fuel struts and nozzles, combustor liner, liner housing and exhaust flange comprise a system to be installed in an existing test facility. The system was designed for operation at 40 atmospheres inlet pressure, 900 K inlet temperature, and air flow to 80 kg/sec. Six penetrations are provided in the outer pressure housing. Adapters at the penetrations, permit use of various types of radiation instrumentation. Five total radiation radiometers and two heat flux gases were installed. Rotating exhaust instrumentation can also be used to determine combustor performance. Data are presented showing total radiation at three axial positions of the combustor, and comparison of total radiation with data from a heat flux gage.
