Theoretical Performance of JP-4 Fuel and Liquid Oxygen as a Rocket Propellant

Download or read book Theoretical Performance of JP-4 Fuel and Liquid Oxygen as a Rocket Propellant written by Vearl N. Huff and published by . This book was released on 1956 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data were calculated for equivalence ratios of 1 to 3, chamber pressures of 300 and 600 pounds per square inch absolute, and pressure ratios of 1 to 1500. Parameters included are specific impulse, combustion and exit temperature, molecular weight, characteristic velocity, coefficient of thrust, ratio of nozzle-exit area to throat area, specific heat at constant pressure, isentropic exponent, viscosity, and thermal conductivity. A correlation is given which permits determination of performance for a wide range of chamber pressure.
