Correct Answer : Smooth combustion
Explanation : When the pressure fluctuations do not exceed 5% of the mean chamber pressure, the combustion is called as smooth combustion. Combustion in a liquid rocket engine in reality is never smooth.
Correct Answer : Option (A) : Pogo
Explanation : Pogo instability is a longitudinal instability due to propellant flow rate disturbances. They are low-frequency waves, usually lying in the 10-50 Hz frequency zone.
Correct Answer : Option (C) : Chugging
Explanation : Chugging can occur in test facilities due to the propellant pump cavitation. It can also happen due to gas entrapment in propellant flow or due to tank pressurization control fluctuations.
Correct Answer : Option (D) : squealing
Explanation : Squealing is the term used to denote combustion instabilities with high-frequency of occurrence of fairly large concentrations of vibratory energy. The frequency range lies above 1000 Hz. It is also called screaming.
