Abstract: An experimantal investigation on LOX/propane thrust chamber was carried out during 1987-1989.The test mainly involves ignition, start-up, combustion,heat transfer and so on.The purpose of this test is to explore the key technology of LOX/propane propella-nt and to give the necessary evidence for the demonstration of the advanced LOX/hyd rocarbon engine. In this test, two kinds of the thrust chamber were used, the chamber pressure was from 2.5MPa to 7.8MPa and the range of thrust was 8-25KN (vacuum), with the comparison with the test of N2O4/UDMH hypergolic propellant and LOX/ker-osene propellant, the performance of the ignition and combustion of LOX/propane pr-opellant was verified and the feasibility of propane’s regenerative cooling was proved
