A Parametric Study of Certain Low-Molecular-Weight Compounds as Nuclear Rocket Propellants. v. Methane

Description: A parametric investigation was made of a series of lowmolecular-weight, high-hydrogen-content compounds as propellants for nuclear-powered rockets. The chemical compounds include H/sub 2/, NH/sub 3/, H/sub 2/0, LiH, CH/sub 4/, and CH/ sub 3/OH. A two-part computational program was carried out for each compound; the results for methane are presented in both tabular and graphic form. The results of the first part of the program are presented in static form, that is, by the conventional Mollier di… more
