Its propellant uses metal powder particles and oxidizing gases that are easy to collect, store, and transport, and has the advantages of fast response, good safety, strong anti-overload and environmental adaptability, and can achieve precise thrust adjustment and multi-pulse operation. In order to improve the combustion efficiency and combustion stability of the powder rocket engine, the staged combustion technology (the most common one is to add a secondary air intake structure on the basis of the traditional single air intake structure engine) and the laser plasma ignition and combustion assistance technology are generally adopted in the powder rocket engine combustion chamber. Staged gas supply can effectively extend the residence time of powder particles in the combustion chamber and enhance the turbulence intensity in the combustion chamber, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the powder rocket engine; laser plasma ignition and combustion assistance can achieve precise adjustment of ignition energy and timing, and improve combustion efficiency and stability; it is found that factors such as the staged gas supply injection method, injection speed, length-diameter ratio of the pre-combustion section and afterburning section, and parameters of the laser plasma will affect the combustion characteristics of the powder engine.

In this embodiment, 4 are evenly arranged. Through holes are axially opened on the columnar protrusions as primary air intake holes 10, which are connected to the carbon dioxide delivery system. A chamber is formed between the inner wall of the top cover and the outer wall of the injection plate 2, and the primary air intake holes 10 communicate with the chamber. An annular groove is also arranged on the stepped surface of the inner cavity of the top cover for installing an O-ring 13.

[0038] Refer to Figure 4 ; The injection plate 2 is integrally of a three-step shape, with protrusions on the outer wall of the small-diameter section, which are embedded in the clamping grooves in the small-diameter holes of the top cover 1. The small protruding part of the injection plate is fixedly connected to the test platform through a sleeved manner.

The two ends of the second combustion chamber are respectively in close fit with the first combustion chamber 3 and the fifth combustion chamber 5 in a plug-in manner. According to the design requirements of the test length-diameter ratio, the fitting length between the three combustion chambers can be adjusted. The inner walls of the three combustion chambers are attached with an adiabatic layer 14, preferably a high-silica adiabatic layer, to isolate the heat transfer of high-temperature gas to the combustion chamber shell and ensure that the shell does not lose strength due to excessive temperature. Flange plates are provided at both ends of the second combustion chamber, and flange plates are provided at one end of the first combustion chamber and the third combustion chamber.

Before the secondary air inlet is the pre-combustion section of the combustion chamber, and after the secondary air inlet is the combustion-supporting section of the combustion chamber. Since the secondary air inlet holes are close to one end of the second combustion chamber, during the test, by reversing the installation of the second combustion chamber 4, the position of the secondary air inlet can be adjusted, so that the length-diameter ratios of the pre-combustion section and the combustion-supporting section of the combustion chamber can be adjusted. In addition, the setting angle or aperture of the air inlet hole on the secondary air inlet device 16 can be adjusted according to the test requirements By replacing the secondary air inlet device, the secondary air inlet angle and flow rate can be adjusted to improve the combustion efficiency and enhance the test flexibility.

The snap ring 8 is composed of two stepped half-rings hinged together. The two ends of the half-ring are provided with ear pieces with through holes.

The inner wall of the nozzle 6 is attached with a nozzle insulation layer 15, which is used to isolate the high-temperature gas to reduce the heat transfer to the nozzle shell. After multiple experiments, only the insulation layer or the throat liner needs to be replaced, realizing the reuse of the nozzle and saving costs.

[0043] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: The swirling carbon dioxide gas enters the chamber formed between the inner wall of the top cover 1 and the outer wall of the injection disk 2 through the primary air inlet holes 10 on the top cover 1, and then enters the combustion chamber through 8 through holes axially opened at the large end of the injection disk. The magnesium sulfide powder is sprayed into the pre-combustion section of the first combustion chamber in a conical diffusion manner through the magnesium sulfide powder injection holes 9 on the injection disk 2, and is fully mixed with the carbon dioxide gas. Under the high-temperature radiation and combustion support of the laser plasma igniter, a violent combustion reaction occurs, generating high-temperature and high-pressure two-phase gas. Then it enters the afterburning section after the secondary air intake, and the gas further reacts fully. Finally, it expands and does work through the nozzle 6 and is discharged, generating a reverse thrust.

[0044] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and purposes of the present invention.
