ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for achieving hypergolic combustion, in which a hydrocarbon fuel is partially combusted by a catalytic reaction to form a high temperature hydrogen-rich product gas, which is directly injected into an oxidizing atmosphere in a combustion chamber while at a temperature sufficiently elevated to enable hypergolic combustion therein. The air-fuel ratios are selected to minimize coke formation at the elevated temperatures of the product gas.
