Theoretical Performance of Liquid Ammonia and Liquid Fluorine as a Rocket Propellant

Description: "Theoretical values of performance parameters for liquid ammonia and liquid fluorine as a rocket propellant were calculated on the assumption of equilibrium composition during the expansion process for a wide range of fuel-oxidant and expansion ratios. The parameters included were specific impulse, combustion-chamber temperature, nozzle-exit temperature, equilibrium composition, mean molecular weight, characteristic velocity, coefficient of thrust, ratio of nozzle-exit area to throat area, spec… more

Acceleration of high-pressure-ratio single-spool turbojet engine as determined from component performance characteristics 2: effect of compressor interstage air bleed

Description: Report presenting an analytical investigation to determine the effect of compressor interstage air bleed with the use of constant-area bleed ports on the acceleration characteristics of a typical high-pressure-ratio single-spool turbojet engine. Constant-area interstage bleed, properly located, gave smaller acceleration times than variable-area compressor exit bleed. Results regarding acceleration with interstage bleed, acceleration using constant-area interstage bleed in combination with compr… more
