An overview of the July to December 1989 period of the Solid Fuel Combustion Chamber (SFCC) project (phase 2) is given. This project was initiated in 1982 and aims at developing a capability to predict the performance of SFCC's in order to be able to evaluate the SFCC for e.g., Solid Fuel Ramjet (SFRJ) propulsion, hybrid rocket propulsion, turbine propulsion and for the clean combustion of waste materials. The planned work is directed at improving the knowledge of the combustion behavior (i.e., regression behavior, combustion efficiency, flame temperature and composition flammability limits and combustion instability) in turbulent channel flows (variables to be considered chamber pressure, mass flow, air temperature, and oxygen content of the air); determining the effects of size, configuration variables (inlet shape, aft mixing chamber/bypass) and different fuels (including waste materials) on the combustion behavior. To this end, both experimental and theoretical research activities are planned. Management, finances and personnel, activities, project status, utilization aspects, student involvement, and publications, reports, presentations and contacts are reviewed.
