Effect of water vapor on combustion of magnesium hydrocarbon slurry fuels in small-scale afterburner

Report presenting testing of JP-3 fuel and a slurry of 60 percent powdered magnesium in JP-3 fuel in a small-scale afterburner in the presence of large quantities of water vapor. The results indicated that total temperature, combustion efficiency, and air specific impulse were improved when the magnesium slurry was used, but the improvements came at the cost of increased liquid consumption.
