  • Abstract
    A numerical analysis is presented with a combustion-driven 16 μm CO2gas dynamic laser operating on liquid fuel and liquid oxidizer constituted of benzene (C6H6) and nitrous oxide (N2O), respectively. Adopting a sharp-edged nozzle with an area ratio of 100, optimization of equivalence ratio φ, reservoir pressure P0, and nozzle throat height h* was performed by considering conditions of no steam condensation and exhausting the combustion gas to the atmosphere. The analysis showed that the maximum value of G_{16} = 0.48 m-1for small-signal gain and E_{16}^{\\max } = 9 mJ/(l . atm . pulse) for available specific energy would be attainable with the P(15) line of the (0200)-(0110) transition.
