Abstract
Liquid hydrogen has been classed as a high energy fuel for rocket
propulsion. A survey of the latest technical literature was made and
the information compiled in a form which discusses the value of this
fuel in propellant combinations. Thermodynamic performance, payload
comparisons, advantages, disadvantages, problems, and relative merits
of respective combinations and systems are presented. A discussion of
rocket performance parameters is included as a basis for a more complete
understanding of the information presented in the above-mentioned areas.
