ROCKET
ENGINE COMPONENTS |
|
Major components of a liquid or solid rocket engine are:
- combustion chamber
- nozzle
- fuel
- oxidizer
A liquid rocket also needs pumps for the fuel and oxidizer.
The fuel and oxidizer are mixed in the combustion chamber and ignited.
High-temperature, high-pressure combustion gases are produced.
The combustion gases go from the combustion chamber to the engine exit,
passing through the nozzle in the process.
