Rocket Engine Plume Analysis
Sierra Engineering is in the forefront of predicting and analyzing rocket engine plumes to determine their composition and other significant characteristics.
Analysis of various engine systems:
- Prediction of nozzle exhaust constituents and conditions for plume radiation
- Hydrocarbon, amine and custom blend propellants
- Predict key factors such as soot production, major species, and
ions
- Design of rocket combustor engine systems using “test friendly” propellants to accurately
simulate systems using hazardous propellants
- System typing analysis based on radiation characteristics
- Engine system analysis optimization used to explain and verify measured phenomena
- Analysis of measured plume phenomena to evaluate combustion chamber characteristics and
stability
- Base heating analyses
