Encyclopedia of Liquid Fuels
Seiten
The Series Encyclopedia of Rocket Propellants: The Series provides an overview of the rapid development of new propellant concepts, mainly in the area of environmentally-friendly rocket propellants, while at the same time it documents the history of what had been done with less sustainable energetic materials in the past. The publication summarizes lessons learned, covering mainly liquid rocket propellants, and will help chemists in developing new energetic materials. Encyclopedia of Liquid Fuels contains information on liquid fuels to be used as rocket propellants. In the general subject area of fuels for rocket propellants, there are both liquid fuels and solid fuels in use. Solid fuels serve a dual purpose as binders in solid rocket propellants and are not included in this book. Therefore the title of this book could not be Encyclopedia of Rocket Propellant Fuels, but the title had to be more specific by limiting the scope to liquid fuels. The choice of liquid fuels with their widely varying hydrogen content has a strong influence on the specific impulse of rocket propellant combinations.
