MODELING THE PROCESS OF VAPOR–GAS MIXTURE OUTFLOW FROM THE DRAINAGE MANIFOLD OF THE ROCKET-CARRIER STAGE

The process of outfl ow of a vapor–gas mixture (pressurization gas and vapors of fuel components) into an underpressure medium has been considered by using the ideal gas model. Basic assumptions and limitations for theoretical and experimental modeling are given, in particular, for the gas temperature and pressure in the course of experiments. A mathematical and a physical models have been developed, and closely coinciding numerical and experimental results have been obtained within the framework of the introduced assumptions and limitations. The results obtained confi rm the validity of the models developed.
