Title: Model of a Liquid-Gas Rocket Engine
Keywords: rocket engines, functioning model

Abstract: Bi-propellant rocket engines are amongst the most complex machines created by humans. However, their complexity is due to the expectation that these machines endure extraordinary temperatures, pressures, and forces, and unbeknownst to many, the underlying physics principles of rocket engines are surprisingly simple. The goal of the project documented in this paper is to demonstrate these principles with a small scale, functioning model of a pressure fed liquid-gas rocket engine, consisting of an injector, combustion chamber, and CD nozzle, and which can facilitate a sustained combustion reaction in a high pressure environment, choke the combustion gases at the nozzle's throat, and create supersonic exhaust. Ultimately, the engine should create an amount of thrust approximate to our estimates for the thrust.
