The performance of the rocket is determined by atomization, mixing and combustion process. Injectors are used to control these processes. Suitable method should be followed, so that increased. injector implementation in rockets determines nozzle can achieved. as simple a number small diameter holes arranged carefully constructed patterns through which fuel oxidizer travel. an improved either us...

A technology has been devised and recently deployed in highway vehicle transportation to protect vehicle fuel tanks from impact-induced fires. The technology is currently employed in the FIRE Panel product, which exhibits an improved design based upon powder panel technology used for decades to protect military aircraft from ballisticinduced fuel tank-fed fires. The device comprises a shallow s...

The open cycle Gas Core Nuclear Rocket (GCR) possesses, in principle, outstanding propulsion characteristics that make it especially attractive for advanced space propulsion. With uranium as fuel and hydrogen as propellant, it can generate several thousand seconds of specific impulse and hundreds of kilonewtons of thrust. In its standard configuration, however, GCR is susceptible to hydrodynami...

This paper develops the analytical framework to compare the approximate performance of periodic hypersonic cruise trajectories with previously proposed hypersonic trajectory prooles for global reach. Speciically, range, V and payload carrying capacity are evaluated for various trajectory types to illustrate the enhanced performance achieved by y-ing periodic hypersonic cruise trajectories with ...

Current spacecraft need to launch with all of their required fuel for travel. This limits the system performance, payload capacity, and mission flexibility. One compelling alternative is to perform In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) by extracting fuel from small bodies in local space such as asteroids or small satellites. Compared to the Moon or Mars, the microgravity on an asteroid demands a ...
