From Summary: "An investigation was conducted in a 16-inch-diameter simulated afterburner using gaseous hydrogen fuel. No flameholder was used with a multipoint fuel injector. The burner length was varied from 9.5 to 38 inches. The afterburner-inlet conditions were: temperature of 1200 degrees or 1500 degrees F, pressure of 14 to 44 inches mercury absolute, and velocity of 300 to The measured combination efficiency ranged from 85 to 98 percent over an equivalence-ratio range of 0.2 to 1.0. The cold-flow pressure-drop coefficient was 1.0 for the system. Spontaneous ignition was always possible at temperatures above 1200 degrees F but was not possible at temperatures above 1200 degrees F but was not possible below 1100 degrees F for all pressures and velocities tested.
