Fuel, rocket storable

Blends of perchloryl fluoride with halogen fluorides are homogeneous and stable. When these are used as storable liquid oxidizers for rocket propulsion, the halogen fluoride usually confers hypergolicity, increased density, and lowered vapor pressure whereas the perchloryl fluoride provides oxygen needed for efficient combustion of carbon in the fuel or of certain metal additives. The mixtures are thermally stable and their... 

F-0 mixts (Flox) with light hydrocarbon (HC) fuels as rocket propints for upper-stage applications show the unique ability to provide high performance, space storability, hypergolicity, current availability, high d, and capability for both transpiration regenerative cooling. 

Uses 1) Urbanski 3 (1967), 309 [As a hypergolic rocket propint fuel upon mixing with nitric acid or liq oxygen for USA rocket vehicles such as Nike Ajax, Rascal and Vanguard 1 ] 2) D.B. Boies L.G. Forgala, Storable... 

Acedg to Ref 14, Aerojet-General has completed a successful test firing of the rocket engine and storable fuels for the US Air Force Titan II Super ICBM. Tne storable proplnts (based on UDMH, high energy liquid fuel), will give the Titan near instant readiness. Both the proplnt combi-... 

In an age of rockets and space travel, there is a constant demand for new and stronger propellants. These are classified into cryogenics and storable liquids and characterized by the specific impulse ( /J which is the thrust per unit mass flow of fuel and by convention reported in units of seconds (see Table 14.5). The thrust depends on the combustion temperature and the exhaust and combustion chamber pressures, Pe and Pc, respectively.
