Diagnostics of rocket and jet engines through characteristics of the intrinsic electromagnetic field of combustion products

Abstract

This paper presents the feasibility of using electrophysical methods to diagnose and tune the propulsion systems of rocket and space technology items by analyzing published experimental and theoretical results on the electrophysical characteristics of combustion processes and combustor discharge of liquid- and solid-propellant rocket and air-breathing jet engines. Data on the development of emergency protection systems for propulsion engines, based on monitoring the electrophysical characteristics of the propellant, are presented.
