Theory
Fuel and oxidizer flow at specific rates through the feed system (see Topic 4) and are combined in the combustion chamber of the rocket. The combustion process results in products (i.e. the products of combustion after combining fuel and oxidizer) flowing out of the combustion chamber into the rocket nozzle as a gas. The combustion chamber, therefore, determines the flow conditions at the entrance of the rocket nozzle. In this LSET, we consider the flow of the combustion products through the rocket nozzle.
