ABSTRACTprogram. The Advanced Expander Combustor is designed to provide increased heat pick-up to the coolant and improved system thrust to weight, increased specific impulse, and increased reliability. These benefits will be accomplished and demonstrated through design, development, and test of this high heat flux, compact thrust chamber capable of supporting a chamber pressure of 1375 psia (97 kg/cm^2) in an cm* expander cycle configuration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
