Abstract
A process to create a collision in controlled conditions between a stream of gas and particles and a target includes the generation of a stream of gas and particles, of given composition, in the form of a unidirectional beam, using a supersonic burner comprising a combustion chamber and a gas gun, the combustion chamber being fed with a set of fluids comprising a set of gases comprising an oxidizer, and a specific liquid fuel. The generation of a collision between the beam and the target includes the adjustment of the fuel flow, the flow of each gas and the adjustment of the distance between the burner and the target, so as to obtain at the impact point the desired values of the following parameters: (i) the gas temperature or the temperature of the target, and (ii) the gas speed.
