    I amazed by this new engine’s combustion efficiency. Given that LOX/Kerosene rocket engine exhaust is usually brilliant white is because the of all the unburned carbon in the exhaust. My question is, how are they burning all that carbon in the engine when others haven’t been able to until now! Very Star Trek kind of leap in abilities.

    • @r0cketplumber
      @r0cketplumber 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The peroxide-kerosene engines used on the UK Black Arrow launcher back in the 1960s burned the kerosene in the hot oxygen/steam mixture after a catalyst pack, and had a clear blue exhaust as well thanks to the excellent atomization of the kerosene and thorough combustion. Kudos to the Launcher team for acheiving very high combustion efficiency by the similar technique of burning the kerosene in the hot gas from the Ox-Rich Staged-Combustion turbine exhaust!

    • @shanent5793
      @shanent5793 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Blue indicates CH radicals so the combustion isn't complete. CH has a lower molecular mass than CO or CO2 so the incomplete combustion can still be more efficient in terms of specific impulse

    I used to heat by kerosene, those extremely dangerous ones you can't find any more (survived!), and mine fell over before I had a chance to fill it. I didn't see any damage, so I filled it (no leaks) and lit up at full rich and moved gently to lean like the instructions say... but it was damaged, and I could push the mixture door open further than design. It made a rocket noise and it burned blue-purple just like we see here. Burn it lean enough, and kerosene burns blue. The whole idea behind a rocket engine burning fuel-rich is that you get more mass to toss overboard as inert material. Somehow, a little rich gave more thrust. I still don't understand how. This one, however, looks to challenge that. It's one to watch. 3D printing has really grown up.

    • @nerd1000ify
      @nerd1000ify 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The rich mixture is used because it lowers the combustion temperatures, making it easier for the engine's components to survive. The specific impulse (efficiency) is not reduced too much because the excess kerosene decomposes to low molecular weight substances, because they have low molecular mass they are more easily accelerated in the nozzle compared to water and CO2. This helps offset the reduced performance from lower combustion temperatures.

    • @williamstock3007
      @williamstock3007 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Fuel rich doesn't provide more thrust as that's unburnt fuel not being used. Its just simpler to run fuel rich as it allows the turbo pump to run at "cooler" temperatures and not be destroyed by the high temp oxygen rich environment. High specific impulse engines don't run fuel rich because that's wasted energy

    • @shanent5793
      @shanent5793 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Blue still indicates incomplete combustion. It's 432 nm emission from CH radicals. It's always there, though it can be obscured by other visible emissions from carbon particulates. As long as temperatures are high enough to cause dissociation, adding fuel will improve the specific impulse.

      @@fallinginthed33p Half of the Soviet engines are kerolox, from the venerable Rd-107 used in Soyuz type rockets, to the highly efficient staged combustion Rd-170 and its derivatives. All of them leave a huge yellow trail, presumably from unburned kerosene. Rocket lab's Rutherford is supposed to be reasonably efficient, but its exhaust is also yellow. I looked at the available literature, and it seems that Launcher's E-2 has a unique regenerative cooling system, which uses both liquid oxygen and kerosene for cooling the liner of the combustion chamber. Perhaps Launcher has indeed achieved such efficiency from regenerative cooling, that they do not require kerosene film cooling which is what creates most of the unburned kerosene in other engines. But that's just a guess. It would have been nice to know the real answer.
