In trombone chamber testing for the 5M15, we went as low as 18" L* and saw no dropoff in C*, with C*_eff about .96 to .98 in multiple runs.

If your injection is gas-liquid microcoaxial, the combustion is complete about 3" from the injector face, I don't know how to make it go slower than that.

Anyone have know any useful values for L* for LOX/Methane? I have searched all the common literature (Sutton, Hill & Peterson and the www), but can’t find anything readily. I used RPA and it came up with 32.88 in.
