Abstract :
A numerical analysis is presented with a combustion-driven 16 μm CO2 gas dynamic laser operating on liquid fuel and liquid oxidizer constituted of benzene (C6 H6 ) and nitrous oxide (N2 O), respectively. Adopting a sharp-edged nozzle with an area ratio of 100, optimization of equivalence ratio φ, reservoir pressure P0 , and nozzle throat height 
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 
m-1for small-signal gain and 
mJ/(l . atm . pulse) for available specific energy would be attainable with the 
line of the (0200)-(0110) transition.
