PINTLE INJECTOR
This blog is about pintle injector used in Space X Falcon 9 rocket. As a part of my
Masters theisis, I have fabricated several pintle injectors and tested it in propulsion
lab. This blog is intended to simplify the efforts of rocket propulsion enthusiasists to
easily grasp and fabricated an injector for their rocket engine.

Sunday, January 15, 2017 I am very passionate about rockets and looking
forward to work in rocket propulsion research.

Now we have to find the characteristics velocity c* to know the mass flow
required for this 5000N engine.

The characteristic velocity, also called c-star or simply c*, is a figure of

thermochemical merit for a particular propellant and may be considered to be
indicative of the combustion efficiency.

Now mass flow rate can be found out from

The stoichiometric mixture ratio was taken for the calculation of propellant
flow rates. The stoichiometric oxidizer to fuel ratio for liquid kerosene and
liquid oxygen is 2.5.

Oxidizer flow rate can be found out using:

Area required to inject the propellants at the above mentioned flow rates can
be found out from

Veleocity of fuel discharge is 19.09 m/s

Where Cd is the discharge co-efficient, discharge coefficient (also known as

coefficient of discharge) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the theoretical
discharge.

Discharge co-efficient of .7 was assumed as it was found experimentally for

the pintle injector design in one of the research papers. Density of kerosene at
15° was 806 kg/m3. Density of kerosene at -182.96° is 1141 kg/m3.

A reasonable pressure drop of 3 bar for the propellants was assumed.

Corresponding fuel injection velocity is found out in the last equation
mentioend above.

Corresponding oxidizer injection velocity can be found out using

1.1 PINTLE DESIGN

As per the design procedure mentioned by Min son et all, a pintle diameter of
20 mm was chosen.

Now, the gap between pintle’s slanted surface and annular casing has to be
determined. This area is the area of the cylinder with the diameter of pintle
pintle. Area of that Oxidizer discharge gap is

Fuel discharge gap-"annular gap" between two concentric circles is 0.43 mm.
