A project has been initiated at the Marshall Space Flight Center to determine if preburner inter- or intra-element mixture ratio maldistributions are the cause of temperature variations in the Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) High Pressure Fuel Turbopump (HPFTP) turbine inlet region. Temperature nonuniformity may contribute to the many problems experienced in this region. The project will involve high pressure cold-flow testing and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling.
