The Future for Solid Propellant Rockets
The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1959Ten years ago it seemed that the solid propellant rocket engine could make only a limited contribution to rocketry. Although it was simpler and more compact than its liquid propellant rival it suffered from three serious drawbacks. The nozzle was uncooled and so the burning time had to be short, the entire propellant container was subjected to the full

Mechanical analysis on rocket propellants
Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2003The mechanical properties of solid rocket propellants are very important for good functioning of rocket motors. During use and storage the mechanical properties of rocket propellants are changing, due to chemical and mechanical influences such as thermal reactions, oxidation reactions or vibrations.

Liquid Propellant Rocket Development
Journal of the American Rocket Society, 1946Liquid Propellant Rocket Development" By M. W. NESBITT Chief Engineer, Reaction The subject of liquid propellant rocket development is one which has become greatly broadened in the past three years. In order to cover each phase of liquid rocket development in detail it would be necessary to spend considerably more time than is presently available ...

Nitrous oxide as a rocket propellant
Acta Astronautica, 2001Abstract Nitrous oxide is introduced as a multi-purpose propellant for spacecraft. Potential space applications of this propellant are given. Based on comparison to conventional systems, a multi-mode nitrous oxide propulsion concept is expected to deliver higher performance.

Liquid-Propellant Rocket Power Plants
Journal of Fluids Engineering, 1947Abstract This paper discusses some of the general features of liquid-propellant rocket power plants, and the propellant systems which have been developed. The object of the discussion is to call attention to problems requiring solution in order to improve the reliability and performance of liquid-propellant rocket power plants.

Propellants for Rockets and Space Ships
Chemical & Engineering News Archive, 1954THE year 1942 found me, a chemist by profession, as a private in the German Antiaircraft Artillery. Then suddenly, one day in December, I received orders to report to a station cryptically entitled Versuchskommando Nord —Top Secret. While I was being processed for transfer, I received veiled hints I would be employed in my professional capacity and ...

Acoustic Resonance in Solid Propellant Rockets
Journal of Applied Physics, 1960Attention is drawn to the fact that the solid propellant must, in general, be considered as one of the acoustic media in a rocket motor. The viscoelastic properties of the solid along with those of the burned gases determine the characteristic modes of the system corresponding to the particular boundary conditions imposed on these media by the metal ...

Vaporization of Propellants in Rocket Engines
ARS Journal, 1959The theory and equations required to calculate the vaporization rates in a rocket engine, based on a model considering propellant vaporization as the rate controlling combustion process, are presented. Included in the model are changes in combustion gas velocity, droplet velocity, temperature and mass.

Liquid Hydrogen as a Rocket Propellant
1992For the final velocity u of a rocket related to the launching system with a launch mass m 0, mass m at the final velocity u and exhaust velocity v relative to the vehicle the following applies $$\frac{{{m}_{0}}}{m}={{e}^{u/v}}$$ (118) .
