Abstract

A feed system is necessary to transfer either a mono-propellant or an oxidiser and a fuel from their respective tanks to the thrust chamber of a rocket engine. The feed systems discussed here are based on gases stored at high pressures. These gases are used to inject the propellants at high pressures into the main combustion chamber of the engine. The requirements for such gases and the devices used for their use are also presented.
