Liquid Propellant Rocket Motors

The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1953
It has been said that a rocket motor is the simplest “ prime mover.” This is correct in theory, since fundamentally a rocket consists of a chamber containing a gas under pressure, having a nozzle at one end through which the gas expands, forming a propulsive jet. Since the pressure ratio of the rocket is always greater than the critical pressure ratio,

Electric Feed Systems for Liquid-Propellant Rockets

Journal of Propulsion and Power, 2013
Liquid-propellant rocket feed systems based on electric pumps are compared with the more classical pressure–gas and turbopump systems. The design parameters entering in the definition of the system mass are highlighted, and a careful choice of the figures of merit is performed, in particular for the electric motors and batteries.

Liquid-propellant rocket abort fire model.

Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 1971
During a rocket launch pad abort, a hazardous payload material can be subjected to a severe thermal environment from the resulting fireball. A model has been developed which specifies heat flux from the fireball as a function of time for any initial propellant quantity.
