In this paper, combustion tests were performed to investigate performance characteristics of a canted slit-type pintle injector engine which uses kerosene and liquid oxygen as propellants. The number of slits, slit angle and blockage factor were chosen as design variables of the pintle injector. ${\Delta}SR$ was newly defined as the difference of skip ratio caused by both sides of the tip of the canted slit. The experimental results showed that optimal combustion was performed when the blockage factor is about 1 and the difference is less than 0.26.

The HFMX((High Flux Macromolecular X-ray crystallography) beamline at Pohang Accelerator Laboratory uses beams from a multi-pole wiggler. Two horizontal and vertical slits relevant to high heat-load are installed at its front-end. In order to treat high heat-load with reducing beam scattering, the horizontal slit has two Glidcop blocks with a grazing incidence angle of $10^{\circ}$ of a grazing-incidence knife-edge configuration. The blocks adjust the slit gap by being translated along guides by two actuating bars, respectively. Water flowing through holes, drilled along the actuating bars, cools the heat-load of both blocks. The vortical slit has the same structure as the horizontal slit except its installation direction with respect to the vacuum chamber and its grazing incidence angle. By virtue of a pair of blocks translating on guides, no alignment between both blocks is required and the installed slits show stable operating performance. The cooling performance of the two slits has been also shown to be acceptable. In this paper, the detailed explanation for the design of the two slits is presented and their operating performance is discussed.
