NICOLAS FDIDA is an academic who published a paper in 2016 entitled A Rocket Engine under a Magnifying Glass. NICOLAS FDIDA published this work as part of a team: Vingert, Lucien. Here is a description of this work: Even though the technology of cryogenic rocket engines is well mastered today, nand has been applied successfully in many launchers all over the world, research nactivities on the various elementary or coupled processes involved in these complex nsystems are still relevant and useful for future developments, cost reduction, and nknowledge improvement. nThe Mascotte test facility was designed and built with this in mind twenty years ago. nSince then, numerous configurations have been tested, enabling almost all of the phenomena ninvolved in the operation of a rocket engine to be investigated, in a research nlab environment, but nevertheless under representative conditions. nResearch items addressed on the Mascotte test rig include: injector concepts; liquid noxygen jet atomization and combustion, new propellant combinations (methane instead nof hydrogen), ignition, heat transfer at the chamber walls, high freque.
