THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES AND CALCULATED ROCKET PERFORMANCE OF HYDROGEN TO 20,000 K

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4216735
namic properties of hydrogen between 300 and 2O,OOO deg K Consideration is given to molecular dissociation atomic excitation and ionizatio. The data are presented in Mollier charts, for the purpose of simplifying rocket performance calculations. Tables are presented which list the specific-impulse and power values required to develop a given thrust at a specified chamber temperature. A tabulation is also given of the loading factors required for escape from the earth by a hydrogen missile operating at various temperatures. (auth)
