Abstract
A one-dimensiona l flow model of the chemical laser, from combustor to subsonic diffuser, is developed for the study of laser pressure recovery. Combustor and flow chemistry effects, nozzle and cavity boundary-layer losses, laser cavity combustion, and nozzle, cavity, and diffuser geometry influences are included in the analysis. The results from experimental tests on a laser nozzle array with a constant area diffuser are presented. Diffuser exit pressures as high as 263 Torr were measured during these experiments. The one-dimensional flow model is shown to be in agreement with the measured diffuser exit pressures over the full range of test conditions.
