The longitudinal combustion instability characteristics of a pintle-type injector for a bipropellant rocket engine combustor are investigated experimentally. An optically accessible combustion chamber are used to observe unsteady combustion behaviors under oscillating combustion conditions. CH* chemiluminescence and backlit spray images are observed simultaneously with two high-speed cameras. Two experiments with the propellant total momentum ratio (TMR) of 0.76 and 2.48 are conducted, whereas the combustion pressure and the propellant mixture ratio are 0.45 and 1.6, respectively. The combustion oscillations at the natural frequencies of the chamber longitudinal acoustic mode are observed when the TMR is 0.76. The combustion oscillation is caused by the coupling between the heat release and the combustion chamber acoustics. When the TMR is 2.48, the combustion oscillations at the frequencies of 400 and 800Hz, which are lower than the first longitudinal mode frequency, are observed. Since the 400Hz corresponds to the convective time scale in the combustion chamber, the oscillations could be caused by one of the convective modes such as entropy wave.

The pintle injector is a promising candidate for injection systems of future rocket engines because of the throttling capability, the combustion stability, and the low manufacturing cost. Few studies focusing on fundamental aspects of a pintle injector have been conducted, and most of the design parameters of a pintle injector is determined mainly based on the empirical knowledge. Among the design parameters, total momentum ratio (TMR) is one of the most important parameters since spray structure is dominated by TMR. Therefore, combustion experiments using an ethanol/liquid oxygen rocket engine combustor with a planar pintle-type injector which is designed for optical measurements for a pintle injector are conducted at combustion pressure (<I>P<sub>c</sub></I>) = 0.37-0.42MPa, mixture ratio (O/F) = 1.31-1.49, TMR = 0.32-3.65 to investigate the effects of propellant momentum ratio on the combustion behavior. The spray structure under hot fire conditions is observed using high-speed imaging techniques with a backlit configuration. In the oxidizer-centered configuration, the characteristic exhaust velocity efficiency (<I>η<SUB>C</SUB><SUP>*</SUP></I>) decreases with the increase of the TMR. The atomized propellant impinge on the combustor wall before the vaporization and reaction at higher TMR. In the fuel-centered configuration, though the propellant spray is more inclined to the direction of the upper combustor wall at higher TMR, the <I>η<SUB>C</SUB><SUP>*</SUP></I> does not change with the TMR. In both oxidizer-centered and fuel-centered, higher <I>η<SUB>C</SUB><SUP>*</SUP></I> is provided in the condition of higher injection pressure drop.
