Viability of an Electrically Driven Pump-Fed Hybrid Rocket for Small Launcher Upper Stages
An electrically driven pump-fed cycle for a hybrid rocket engine is proposed and compared to a simpler gas-pressurized feed system. A liquid-oxygen/paraffin-based fuel hybrid rocket engine which powers the third stage of a Vega-like launcher is ...

Analysis of low-thrust liquid rocket engines with a methane air pump unit
The first airplane working on cryogenic fuel was developed in the USSR in early 1980s on the basis of the passenger aircraft Tu-154. It was then modified using a hydrogen engine installed instead of one of the three kerosene engines.

Combustion Visualization and Liquid Jet in Crossflow Analysis of H2O2/Kerosene Bipropellant Thruster
In the H2O2/Kerosene bipropellant thruster, a liquid fuel jet is transversely injected into a crossflow of hot oxygen and water vapor, catalytically decomposed from a liquid oxidizer.

Investigation of the cooling film distribution in liquid rocket engine [PDF]
This study presents the results of the investigation of a cooling method widely used in the combustion chambers, which is called cooling film, and it is applied to a liquid rocket engine that uses as propellants liquid oxygen and kerosene.
