Self-regulating oxidizer feeding

As shown in Fig. 14.24, a self-regulating oxidizer feeding mechanism is used to eliminate the liquid oxidizer pumping system. A flow of the pressurized fuel-rich gas generated in tlie primary combustor forces the oxidizer tank to supply the liquid oxidizer to the secondary combustor. Simultaneously, the fuel-rich gas is injected into the secondary combustor and reacts with the atomized oxidizer. The fuel-rich gas is injected from the primary combustor into the secondary combustor through the fuel gas injector under condihons of a choked gas flow. The pressure in the primary combustor is approximately double that in the secondary combustor. This system is termed a gas-pressurized system.
