The mathematical and physical model of the liquid propellant spray in straight nozzle was proposed for studying the performance characteristics of the small-scale liquid rocket engine. With the Fluent software, the numerical simulation was carried out. Sauter mean diameter (SMD) of the HAN-based liquid propellant (LP1846) in the engine combustor changing with spray pressure, nozzle diameter and the liquid surface tension were analyzed. The results indicate that: in the spray pressure region of 1.8MPa~3.0MPa, at a fixed spray pressure, the smaller is the nozzle diameter, the smaller is the droplets’ SMD and the relationship between the SMD and the nozzle diameter is approximately linearity; for the same nozzle diameter and spray pressure, the larger is the surface tension, the larger is the liquid droplets’ SMD.
