Combustion and Regenerative Cooling Characteristics of LOX/Methane Engine

The regenerative cooled LOX/methane engine is considered by the cooperative research with JAXA, MHI, and IHI. As a part of this cooperation, the experiments and analysis about LOX/methane combustion instability and regenerative cooling characteristics were carried out because the lack of the fundamental LOX/methane properties was identified as a risk through engine design, production, test, and operation.
