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 Oxidizers contains information on both liquid and solid oxidizers. When selecting combinations of bipropellants, hypergolic or nonhypergolic, it is usually the oxidizer that determines the reactivity of the combination once oxidizer and fuel meet in the rocket engine combustion chamber. The choice of oxidizers has less of an impact on the specific impulse than the choice of fuels with their widely varying hydrogen content. weiterlesen
