Abstract

In a future energy system, hydrogen may play an important role in economic storage and transportation of energy. The conversion will be done mostly by a suitable H//2/O//2 burner via hot steam. A theoretical model is formulated, describing the ballistic variables of evaporating water droplets injected into the burner. Test results achieved with a rocket engine reconfigured as a steam generator are discussed. Significant features of such a water-modified hydrogen/oxygen rocket engine are: extremely small package size, smokeless and soot-free operation, instant steam generation, and low installation cost. Areas of interest are peak power plants and steam or gas turbines for decentralized power distribution.
