COMPILATION OF THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES, TRANSPORT PROPERTIES, AND THEORETICAL ROCKET PERFORMANCE OF GASEOUS HYDROGEN

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4186212
Data were computed assuming equilibrium composition during an isentropic expansion using normal hydrogen as the propellant for chamber pressures from 0.146960 to 1469.601b/sq in. abs, pressure ratios from 1 to 3000, and chamber temperatures from 600 to 5000 deg K. Computed parameters are nozzle-exit pressure and temperature, enthalpy, molecular weight, isentropic exponent, specific heat at constant pressure, absolute viscosity, thermal conductivity, Mach number, specific impulse in vacuum, ratio of nozzle-exit to throat areas, thrust coefficient, specific impulse, equilibrium gas composition, characteristic velocity, and entropy. Additional data show some of the properties of gaseous normal hydrogen, orthohydrogen, and parahydrogen at temperatures below 600 deg K for several pressures. (auth)
