F1 Rocket Engine Injector Plate
In a rocket engine the fuel which in the f 1s case is rp1 a highly refined kerosene and the oxidizer liquid oxygen is injected into the combustion chamber a barrel shaped area under high pressure through an injector plate which in the f 1 had 2832 holes each the size of a drinking straw.
F1 rocket engine injector plate. The baffles served to dampen tangential and transverse combustion instability shock waves generated during combustion. How nasa brought the monstrous f 1 moon rocket engine back to life. F 1 engine injector baffle. F 1 engine injector baffle.
The injector holes are drilled so that each stream of fuel impinges on a stream of oxygen. Twelve radial baffles along with two circular baffles divided the injector into 13 compartments. Enlarge detail on an f 1 engine injector plate at the forward end of the nozzle. Fuel and liquid oxygen are sprayed.
The saturn v used f1 rockets manufactured by rocketdyne. A fuel passage ring encircling the axis and in fluid communication with a fuel. The injector plate had a stainless steel body to which concentric copper injector rings were brazed. Space and rocket center.
Another unusual exhibit at the ussrc is an f 1 engine injectorradial baffle.
