Preliminary study of gaseous nitrogen-liquid oxygen mixing and self cleaningThe penetration of gaseous nitrogen into liquid oxygen at a pressure of 150 psi was determined by monitoring the composition of the evaporating liquid in a nitrogen analyzer. For pressurization times of about 1 hr the penetration depth varies between 0.0024 and 0.018 in. at an evaporation rate of about 1 gal/day. These are small compared to the penetration depth of 22.2 in. measured in the 7-inch high temperature tunnel at a pressure of 1500 psi, pressurization time of 5 min, and evaporation rate of 121 gal/day.
