This invention discloses a high-efficiency
propellant-type water ramming test engine, comprising a front end cap, an outer cylinder, a rear end cap, a
combustion chamber, and a
nozzle connected in sequence, as well as an inner cylinder, an injection element, a
piston, and a
propellant grain. The front end cap serves as an air intake channel; the outer cylinder has a water inlet, forming a sandwich between the outer and inner cylinders; the rear end of the inner cylinder has a circular hole that forms a
water flow channel with the injection element, and the interior of the inner cylinder forms a
combustion chamber; the front end of the
piston contacts the filling gas, and the rear end is in
close contact with the
propellant grain; the injection element sandwich forms a
water flow channel, and a small circular hole on the injection element allows water to be injected into the
combustion chamber; the propellant grain is a
metal-rich fuel propellant, and during combustion, water in the propellant reacts with the
metal to release energy through a
chemical reaction. During operation, the propellant grain gradually burns and recedes, while the filling gas pushes the
piston through the air intake channel to maintain an optimal constant distance between the propellant grain combustion surface and the water
nozzle, ensuring that the combustion efficiency remains at its highest level.
