FOREWORD

Microwave attenuation measurements were made of the number density of electrons in seeded rocket exhaust gases to verify, in part, the analytic phase of current investigations at the U. S. Naval Ordnance Test Station. Extension of this work, performed during the summer of 1962, to include microwave diagnostics of arbitrary combustion-product gases in conjunction with a coordinated analytic program promises a means for understanding the basic mechanism of microwave Interaction with partially-ionized gases, with particular application to the problem of radar attenuation in rocket exhaust plumes.

INTRODUCTION

Microwave diagnostics have bei^me an Increasingly inmortant experi- mental technique In the study cf partially- and fully-ionized gasea. (Ref. 1). The principle advantage in their use lies in the fact that measurements may be made directly of microscopic plasma parameters (eg. electron density and electron collision frequency) at very low power levels without making physical contact with the gas and, hence, without contaminating or disturbing the system. In addition, measurements may be made of short-duration transient phenomena because if the nature of the parameters measured and of the rapid response of the measuring equipment.

The Propulsion Applied Research Group (Code ;t506) at the Naval Ord- nance Test Station is currently working on several programs inv-'lving partially-ionized gases (Ref. .'-j). Preliminary microwave measurements have been made of the electron density in these high-tcmrerature gaseous systems to verl:y portions of the analytic work and to ietermlne the feasibility of microwave diagnostics as a research tool in the study of chemically-produced plasmas.

ANALYSIS

I. MICROWAVE DIAGNOSTICS

The theory of microwave diagnostics Is concerned with the interaction of electromagnetic radiation of short wavelength (typically on the order of centimeters and less) with partially- or fully-ionized plasmas. This interaction can be analyzed by considering the complex dielectric constant, K', of the plasma (Ref. l):

(1) K' =!-(«! 'vf.1*"'»

where di is the radian frequency of the microwave signal, 1/ is the colli- sion frequency of the electrons in the plasma, andoin is the nlasma frequency which Is given by (cgsu)

(2) it) - (U ire n An ) = 5.6-lo'+ n ' (radians/sec). p e e e

NAVWEPS REPORT 8059

In equation (2), e is the magnitude of the electronic charge, rig is the electron density (number of electrons per unit volume), and mg is the mass of the electron.

For many systems of interest (for example, thermonuclear plasma), the condition {u/w)~ s ,1 is satisfied so that equation (l) becomes

(j) K' - 1 - (UJ /(t))' (1 + iJ//oi).

In this case, the dielectric constant of the plasma. K, can be approx- imated by

(M K = 1 - (w /w)9.

The propagation of the electric field of a microwave within a plasma can be expressed as E e E0 exp |i(Ax — ait)j , where A - <vK (l/c). In equation (^), whenever a) Ccip," K is positive so that A is real, and the wave will propagate througn the plasma. The phase of the oscillations, however, will be shifted by an amount A radians per unit length of trans- mission path within the plasma. Whenever w^OJp, K is negative so that A is purely imaginary, and the waves will be exponentially attenuated. The depth of penetration of microwave radiation of frequency w into a plasma required to attenuate the signal to l/e of i+,s original value, the so- called skin depth is given by

2 ^1^2 skin depth = C/(UJ — a) ) ' •

Thus, essentially complete reflection occurs when the rignnl transmission path within the plasma is at least several times the skin depth. When ijj = alp, microwave cut-off occurs. Under this condition, the frequency of the microwave signal can be related to the density of electrons in the plasma by means of equation (2):

(5) f = f = to /27r= 9-10^ n '" (cycles/sec) w / p p e \ J I

Figure 1 shows the relation between electron density and microwave frequency at cut-off for the case where (I/'CJ)' 1.

When O'/CD)^ is not small compared with unity, equation (5) cannot be used. For this case, the complex dielectric constant can be related to the propagation constant.,^/, of the plasma:

(6) </'2 = - a/K"'c2.

The complex propagation constant is given by

where

(10a) A = liaVu/f2 + l/tl)

and

(iob) B = 1 + ^2(a2cg^2). CO"

The relation between microwave frequency and electron density can then be obtained in terms of the signal attenuation per unit length of trans- mitted path through the plasma. Since cup/tü = fp/f, equation (2) can be used to give

(11) n = l.Pl.-lo-6 f?(ai /OJ)2,

where the value of (CLU/O)) is obtained from the solution of equation (9) in terms of the signal attenuation, signal frequency, and electron collision frequency. In using this method to determine ne, however, an estimate must be made of the electron collision frequency. Under equi- librium conditions, the collisiin '"requency in the chemical energy range can be written in MKS units (Ref. U) as

(10) j/ = nQ(8kT/7rme)l/2

where 11 is the number density of gas particles. Q is the total collision cross-section for electrons, k is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the Kelvin temperature. For seeded combustiin gases, y is frequently on the order 0!' 10^1 sec--' (see Appendix A), so that V > t*J for all but the high- est frequency microwave equipment available at present.

Using an experimental arrangement as shown in Fig. 0, the electron density in the plasma (a seedel rocket exhaust in the figure) can be determined by microwave attenuation measurements. If (j'/o;)" « 1, equa- tion (5) can be used to compute ne at the microwave cut-off condition. If (i'/oj)-' is not small oomnared with unity, equation (11 ) can be used to compute ne; however, in using this method, the transmitted distance through the plasma and the electron density distribution within the plasma must be known or assumed.

A technique of wider application uses the fact that a microwave signal of given frequency undergoes a phase shift when passing through a plasma. If the attenuation and phase shift of the signal can be measured, equations (8a) and (8b) can be used to compute the values of cü /a» and 1/'u;. These parameters are most commonly determined by means of a microwave inter- ferometer (Fig. j). In practice, the bridge circuit is balanced so that no signal is observed when the plasma is absent. When the microwaves are transmitted through the plasma, however, their phase is shifted—this shift unbalances the bridge. A measurement of attenuation and amount of phase shift eaables ne and v to be determined. This technique is partic- ularly valuable for determining the growth and decay of electron density

While other microwave techniques are applicable to the measurement of various plasma parameters (eg. microwave noise and electron tempera- ture), the attenuation and phase shift measurements are perhaps the most widely used in the density and temperature ranges of chemically-produced plasmas.

II. TEMPERATURE DETERMINATION BY MICROWAVE MEASUREMENTS

The attenuation and phase shift of microwave radiation in a plasma is a function of the number density of electrons in the gas. Under conditions of equilibrium, the electron density due to thermal ionization of atomic and molecular species can be related to the thermodynamical variables of the gas by means of the Saha equation (Ref. 5)- Moreover, once the electron density in the gas is known the electrical character- istics, specifically, the electrical conductivity, can be predicted (Ref. 6). Such a relation has been formulated and programmed on a digital computer for a combustion gas which has been seeded with an easlly- ionizab]e matTial (Ref. 7). This electrical conductivity program is used widely in present work in magnetohydrodynamic (M!ID) power generation

at NOTS, and applies to an equilibrium system wherr the electrons are produced by the thermal ioniiation or a single species in the gaseous mixture. The assmiiption that one particular species is the sole electron donor is approximately valid when the Ionisation potential of the seed material is much less than that of any other species present,, and when the degree of ionlüation of the seed material is small. Under these conditions the degree of ionization of the seed material (assumed to be an alkali metal), ji, can be approximated by (Ref. S)

where Ps is the partial pressure of the seed material in atmospheres, and Es is its ionization potential in volts. Refer to Fig. U and 5 for the electron density in a seeded rocket exhaust.

By knowing the amount of seed material in a combustion gas and the corresponding pressure, a microwave measurement of the electron density serves to determine the temperature of the system under conditions of equilibrium. It is anticipated that by developing an analytic expres- sion similar to equation (13), but for the case of an arbitrary combus- tion-product gas (not necessarily seeded), microwave measurements can be

EXPERIMENT

I. EXPERIMENTAL APPARATUS

The majority of the microwave measurements made thus far have been of the electron density in the two-dimensional exhaust of a water-cooled rocket motor. This motor was developed for use in maRnetohydrodynamic power generation experiments, and is described more completely in Ref. 8. The rocket burns gaseous oxygen and methanol at a total pressure of from 175 to 300 psia, and at a total temperature in the neighborhood of 3100 K. Ionisation is produced by seeding the propellant with cesium carbonate— usually in the amount of from one to eight percent by weight of the total flow. The combustion gases are expanded through a square throat and a two-dimensional nozzle to an exit Mach number of 2.3. Figure 6 shows the motor in operation with its characteristic exhaust fan.

NAWEPS REPORT 8059

The objective of the microwave experiments was to measure the electron density in a particular region of the rocket exhaust under known rocket motor operating conditions (O/F ratio and total pressure). The single- pass arrangement (Ftp;. 2) was used in all experiments. For all measure- ments X-band (8-1«:' kmc) microwave equipment was used because of its availability. The microwave components were mounted on a rigid beam which attached to the rocket test stand Just aft of the rocket motor (Fig. 7), and could be adjusted both vertically and axially. These components consisted of a klystron, variable attenuator, frequency meter, 20-db coupler, wave guide, standard gain horns, and a tunable crystal detector mount. Auxiliary equipment included a klystron power supply and a 1000 cps narrow band amplifier. In the course of the experiments both an oscilloscope and a standing wave ratio (SWR) meter were used to observe the signal.

The main problem encountered in using X-band microwaves to probe the exhaust of the small (80 lb nominal thrust) rocket motor was that the dimension of the horns (and, hence, of the radiating beam) was larger than that of the rocket exhaust gases. In order to probe an area small compared to the gas stream, the microwave beam had to be reduced in size. Several different methods were tried with varying results. A metal plate with a rectangular aperture was first placed in front of the transmitting horn. Although the beam cross-section was thereby reduced considerably, definition of the beam became very difficult—probably due to diffraction effects. The beam was then successfully collimated by passing it through a small opening in microwave absorbant material; however, the consequent loss in beam power was found excessive. A zone plate lens was then constructed to focus the beam (Ref. 9)- This lens was designed to have a focal length of 5 inches, and consisted of four transparent zones (Ref. 10). By use of this lens, the cross-sectional dimensions of the beam were reduced from 3 by 5 inches to 1 by 2 inches; however, the actual focal length was much less than the design value. To achieve the desired focal length, so that the lens could be placed a safe distance from the rocket exhaust, it appeared that the lens diameter would have to be increased by an impractical amount. A dielectric (Lucite) lens (Ref. 11-12) was then constructed which successfully reduced the micro- wave beam to approximately 1 inch by 1 inch. This lens had a plano-convex geometry, a j.5-inch focal length, and a constant radius of curvature of 2.25 inches. Two such lenses were made—one to be used with the trans- mitting horn, and the other for the receiving horn. All measurements reported were made using these dielectric lenses.

The klystron was tunable over the frequency range 8-1"' kmc; however, all measurements were made at one frequency, 11 kmc. The klystron was modulated with a 1000 cps square wave. The detector output was amplified with a narrow band (±20 cps) 1000 cps amplifier—in the experiment the SWR meter was used as the amplifier. Both the SWR meter and an oscil- loscope were used to observe the amplified signal, although the meter was found to be more convenient in measuring microwave attenuation.

II. PROCEDURE

The seed material (cesium carbonate) was pre-mixed with the methyl alcohol fuel prior to firing, thus enabling the concentration of seed to he precisely determined. Standard ASME orifice plates with manometer readout made possible accurate measurement of fuel and oxidlzer (thus, O/F ratio and seeding rate) flow rates. With the microwave beam focused on a known portion of the rocket exhaust, determined prior to firing, the rocket motor was fired and the design combustion chamber pressure reached. The O/F ratio and, hence, the electron density in the probed region of the rocket exhaust, would be varied until a significant amount (8-10 db) of microwave attenuation would be observed. At this point, the signal attenuation, fuel and oxidizer flow rates, and combustion chamber pressure would be recorded. Since firing durations were typically on the order of minutes, several such measurements could be made in the course of each experiment.

The values of the thermodynamical variables (pressure, temperature, and molecular species) in the probed region can be computed, since the rocket motor chamber conditions and geometry are known. This information can then be used to calculate the electron density by means of the electrical conductivity computer program. Predicted values of the electron density can then be correlated with those determined by microwave attenu- ation measurements. A sample calculE.tion of the electron density in the probed region of the rocket exhtust is given in Appendix B.

RESULTS

A series of four experiments were performed in which ten measurements were made of the electron density in the rocket motor exhaust. In all these experiments, the electron density in the exhaust gas was determined by attenuation measurements to be between 3*10^3 and l3,10-'-3 electrons per cubic centimeter, based on a value of 3-10^9 square meter for the total electron collision cross-section. The rocket motor operating conditions and the corresponding electron densities (both predicted and measured) are presented in Table 1.

DISCUSSION

The agreement between the microwave measurements of the electron density in the rocket exhaust and those predicted by the analytical procedure is encouraging. However, the latitude in experimental accuracy due to lack of knowledge concerning the electron collision frequency should be pointed out. A microwave interferometer should be used in future experiments to obtain a direct measurement of this parameter. In addition, the dimensions of the probed region should be made as small as practicable, certainly small compared to the characteristic size of the

gas stream. Improved beam optics and the use of higher frequency micro- waves should achieve this result—increasing the size of the rocket motor is undesirable. With these improvements in experimental equipment and technique it appears that rather precise measurements can be made of the electron density in rocket exhaust gases, thus providing one method for determining the validity of the theory of combustion gas ionlzatlon.

CALCULATION OF ELECTRON COLLISION FREQUENCY

In the collision-dominant regime of chemical rocket combustion processes, the electron collision frequency can be expressed by means of equation (l^):

1/ = nQ(8kT/T me)l/2.

By using Dalton's law for an equilibrium system, this can be put into the more convenient form

1/= pc;(8/7r meKr)l/2,

whe'-e P is the gas pressure. With the exception of C, all factors in this expression are constants or measurables. For the case of a cesium- seeded rocket exhaust gas under equilibrium conditions, a value of yiO~ ■ square meter can be used for the total collision cross.section (Ref. 13). At a pressure of one atmosphere and a temperature on the order of 2000 K (the approximate conditions of the experiment), the electron collision frequency is found to be about VIO sec .

Appendix B

SAMPLE CALCULATION OF ELECTRON DENSITY

The following is an example of the procedure used to cotripute the electron density in the probed region of the rocket motor exhaust. The rocket burns gaseous oxygen and methanol with cesium carbonate added to the fuel prior to firing. Typically, the seeding rate would be such that the salt would comprise 1^ by weight of the total flow when the motor was operated at the stoichiometric mixture ratio, an O/F ratio of 1.5. At the time the microwave measurement is made, the following data are recorded: combustion chamber pressure, 19,t psia; indicated fuel flow rate, 0.120 lb/sec; oxygen flow rate, O.187 lb/sec. For a 1$ seeding rate at an o/F ratio of 1.5) approximately 2.53^ of the measured fuel flow contains cesium carbonate. Therefore, about 91.hfj, of the indicated fuel flow is the actual flow rate of met" anol, 0.117 lb/sec. The actual o/F ratio is then 1.6, and the seeding rate is 0.96^ of total flow by weight.

From the known values for nozzle throat diameter and exit diameter, together with the measured chamber pressure and calculated O/F ratio, a value of 1.19 is chosen for 7 (the average ratio of specific heats in the rocket exhaust) based upon IBM propellant evaluation data under conditions of isontropic expansion and shifting equilibrium. For this area ratio data and value for y, the nozzle exit Mach number, Me, is -"ound (Ref. lh) to be 2.}—the exit static pressure is correspondingly found to be 15.5 psia. Using the IBM data, graphs have been constructed of the chanber and exit temperatures for various O^F ratios, chamber pressures, and expansion ratios. From these graphs, the chamber and exit temperatures are found to be 3157nK and ?560oK, respectively. These temperatures, however, correspond to an unseeded gaseous oxygen-methanol propellant combination, and do not take into account the cooling effect of the seed. An empirical expression to correct for this condition is T = T' (l — XR), where the prime denotes the "unseeded" temperature, R is the percent seeding rate, and X is a constant equal to 1.77*10—3. Using this expression the adjusted temperatures are found to be 3I5 0K and J556

0K, respectively.

At this point, the chamber and exit conditions are known; however, the region of the rocket exhaust probed by the microwaves is located approximately 1 inch downstream from the exit plane of the motor. The static temperature and pressure of -:he gas must be known in the probed region, and some assumptions need be made concerning changes in the

thermodynamio state of the rocket exhaust in expanding from the exit plane to the probed region. Examination of photographs of the operating rocket motor (Fig. 6) reveals that the gases tend to continue expanding aft of the nozzle exit at approximately the same rate as within the nozzle, that is, with a divergence half-angle of 22 ; and, further, that the first shock band is located about one nozzle-width downstream from the exit plane. The assumptions are then made that the gases expand isentropically with shifting equilibrium from the nozzle exit plane (with a 22° expansion half-angle) to the probed region, and that this region lies upstream from the first shock band.

The nozzle of the rocket is two-dimensional, having a square throat (0.5 inch by 0.5 inch) and a rectangular exit (0.5 inch by 1.B5 inches). With this information and the measured distance from the nozzle exit to the probed region, the ratio of the stream area in the probed region to the stream area at the nozzle throat is found:

Ap/A* = (Ap/Ae)(Ae/A*) = 1 - 2 ^y20 (1.35/0.5) = M2,.

where the subscript p refers to the probed region, the asterisk to the sonic throat, and e to the exit plane. With the area ratio known and the value for y assumed constant at 1.19, the Mach number of the flow in the probed region is found to be 2.66—the Mach number then serves to determine the static pressure as 7-9 psia. The corresponding static temperature is 2291 K.

The mole fraction of seed material, Xg, in the form of monatomic cesium (the only species assumed to contribute electrons) in the gas is approximated by Xs = 0.006l R, based upon IBM data for this propellant combination. Therefore, 0.0059 moles of monatomic cesium are present per 100 grams of gas at the seeding rate of 0.96^. The molecular weight of the gas is found to be 27, again using the IBM data. The partial pressure of monatomic cesium in the rocket exhaust is given by Ps = CXS, which C is the conversion factor for mole fraction to partial pressure in the NOTS Propellant Evaluation Program, and is given by the product of molecular weight and gas pressure divided by one hundred. The partial pressure is thus found to be 8.56"10^ atmosphere.

All required parameter values have now been determined for use in the Saha equation. The degree of ionization of the monatomic cesium is, from equation (li),

n = (2556:--5/8.56-10^)l/2 exp(- 5.8-103 X 3.87/2556 - 7-12)

= O.02U3.

The electron density is then

ne = ^ns HP /kT = 6.7-10 ^ electrons/centimeter .
